I mean, yeah, the point of some graffiti is to get a message out there, but doesn't a big part of graffiti have to do with the artistic-ness and style of writing? How do you stylize Braille? Are there different kind of fonts in Braille? (Braille is basically a formation of dots to symbolize letters and numbers, right?) And even if there are "fonts" in Braille, how the heck are blind people suppose to know where the Braille Graffiti is? Plus, they put them is stupid (like the side of a truck) and gross-to-touch places. This idea doesn’t make sense to me.
