You Are Beautiful

Something Reid and I are planning to focus some attention on this summer:
http://www.you-are-beautiful.com/

"The reasons why street artists are doing what they are doing, in the way that they are doing, is not simply to question their surroundings; but to provide alternative perspectives, meanings, or values to those of consumerism.Advertising elicits a response to buy, where this project elicits a response to do something. The attempt with You Are Beautiful is to create activism instead of consumerism."

KU must have a huge following for the "You are beautiful" initiative... those things are effing everywhere (and in several languages)
