Torontoist: A Good Pac-Man Is Hard To Find: Spadina Bust

I agree graffiti is bad in some cases. But quite often it improves poorly kept buildings... making them works of art. Don't think they should be making installations of TTC stops, but I'd sure enjoy some PAC man installations on some of the derelict buildings along Queen... and if the owners complain the city should fine them for improperly maintaining the streetscape.

Sometimes I wonder if the people posting negative comments are simply graffiti artists trying to anger people into accepting graffiti by posing as anti-graffiti extremists. Seriously. It sounds like something they'd do. :p Kinda like those "OBEY" stickers.

It's called graffiti. It needs to be removed ASAP. Find a legal place for your art.

It doesn't speak to the other content. The majority of people coming to the Pac-man articles are from outside the city (people like you, matty!); the majority of people reading the site (and the rest of its articles) on a daily basis come from inside the city or country. I think Pac-man has more worldwide internet appeal than, say, Pedestrian Sunday, or a debate over whether Toronto's sign by-law is unconstitutional (two other articles with a lot of traffic published this week). You don't need to worry about us or our traffic, matty, we're doing quite alright.

...or that people really love Pac-man. That guy can seriously eat!

If that speaks anything to the other content you post on here I would say that is really really sad.

Today's article and yesterday's article are the #1 and #2 most-viewed articles on Torontoist for the past seven days. They are also the top two recommended posts of this week so far.

It's not killing me. It's probably killing torontoist's page hits though.

It must kill you that about half the stories in the last week have graffiti in them one way or another.

Definitely deserving of two stories in as many days.
