We return with another batch of mysterious stickers found around town, using the power of Bing to divine their meaning and intent.
"FVCK PAONE."
Location: on a traffic pylon in Midtown Manhattan
Guess to its meaning: Angry vegan political action group?
Fvck Paone seems to actually be an L.A. based sticker graffiti artist who decided to open a Twitter account and hasn't updated it since February. Unremarkable mystery solved. Meh.
"Convict Orange"
Location: near a day care center in South Orange, New Jersey
Guess to its meaning: A skater clothing line that misappropriates Monopoly imagery?
Convict Orange is a hardcore band that started in Watchung, NJ with songs like "Shut Up James," "Goldshlager," and "Letter Of Acceptance."
In October, 2004, Convict Orange went in to record their
first full length, “Do Not Pass Go,” with the help of music industry
guru Anthony Krizan, formerly of the platinum selling group The Spin
Doctors.
Wow. There is nothing more hardcore than The Spin Doctors, let me tell you.
"Pretentious Film Majors"
Location: Chelsea in NYC
Guess to its meaning: An online blog about aspiring film directors?
Close. It's an online VLOG by Drexel University students who review movies, perform short skits and awkwardly interview celebrities at premieres. Want to watch their 13 minute review of "The Great Gatsby?" Go nuts.
"Nolte?"
Location: 42nd Street, NYC
Guess to its meaning: a new brand of yoga leggings?
Not a lot of results came back for this search other than more spottings of said sticker. I wouldn't be surprised if they were put up by the man himself.
"Bankrupt Slut: I Bring The Party"
Location: near a lake in Audubon, New Jersey
Guess to its meaning: an online fashion zine?
Nope. Another band. This one claims they sound like Guns N' Roses, Weezer, Mötley Crüe, and Black Eyed Peas. I'm just going to hold my tongue.
Appropriately, here's their video for "Graffiti Saved My Life:"
???? ?????
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Guess to its meaning: ???? ?????????
I was at work, but I still typed the text for this in and searched.
I then typed "kangaroo fucking a woman," and, zip. Then I typed in "SEKTOR 1905" because it was on the little seal at the top. Bingo! It's a well-organized Czech football club (Bohemians?) that uses a kangaroo for a mascot for some reason, dresses in smart green-and-white stripes and often clashes with police.
