I SEE WHAT'S PROBABLY A TEENAGERHEADED DOWN THE WRONG PATH.

SO I DECIDED TO CATCH A TEENDOING GRAFFITI

AND THEN WARN HIS PARENTS BEFOREHE TURNS TO A LIFE OF CRIME.

TO DO THIS, I CREATED A SERIESOF FAKE PROMOTIONAL POSTERS

FOR MY TV SHOWTHAT MAY SEEM INNOCUOUS,

BUT TO AN IMMATURE VANDAL,

WOULD BE EXTREMELY TEMPTINGTO DEFACE.

TO SEE WHICH ONEWOULD WORK BEST,

WE LEFT THE POSTERS UPFOR A WEEK IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS

AROUND THE CITYOF LOS ANGELES.

TO MY SURPRISE,

THE "EVERY PENNY COUNTS" POSTER,

"RISK EQUALS REWARD,"

"TIE SHOES FOR SAFETY,"

AND "BE FLEXIBLE"

DIDN'T ATTRACT ANY GRAFFITIAT ALL.

HOWEVER, "DREAM BIG"

AND "STAND UPTO THE BIG GUYS" DID.

I DECIDED TO GOWITH "STAND UP TO THE BIG GUYS"

SINCE THERE WAS OPPORTUNITYFOR TWO [bleep]S

AND PUT IT UP ON A WALLNEAR A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL.

I LEFT A PENAND ADDED A STICKER

THAT WOULD MAKE THE ACTEVEN MORE IRRESISTIBLE

TO AN IMMATURE SMART ALECK.

WITH ALL THE ELEMENTSIN PLACE,

I WATCHED FROM A VANACROSS THE STREET,

READY TO POUNCEAT ANY MOMENT.
