I love Scratchitti as you can probably tell from my Spectacle with Elvis Costello post. Scratchitti or Scribing is an art form; the only true art form in fact. It’s where someone uses a switchblade or box cutter to either make a collage or simply adjust the original message. Sometimes they’re just tagging. I love it.

The other day I saw a subway advertisement on the Manhattan-bound Clinton-Washington C Train platform for the SUDC Program. The image was of a cartoon character playing the flute in the valley of a castle. It’s text read: “In a land far, far away, there lived a handsome little prince. On his birthday his father gave him a magical flute. He told him if he played it he’d magic…” and then everything faded away with the program’s tagline being, “Some children stories never get finished.”

Well someone finished it with, “…ally warp to level 8 in Super Mario 3.”

Ha. Hilarious.
