A sticker obscures a street sign in the Kalorama neighborhood of D.C. I have no idea what this means, but it's freaky. Apparently, they have no principles of design.

Stickers appear all over the city, randomly, saying random things. They're like tiny little shouts in the wilderness of the urban landscape, anonymous, silent, impotent, yet also bold, defiant, seemingly full of potential. Who sticks them, and why? Is there a certain segment of the population, say 14-18 year-old males, who are more likely to place stickers on random city surfaces? Do the stickers ever have any effect? Are they part of the irreconcilable remainder, "the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly"? Are the sticker people refusing the program, or are they just exercising the "choice" that keeps them in check?
