@Miranda Lawson

Except it costs taxpayers money to remove that stuff. But since it's not my city, I will continue to enjoy this vanadalism.

Epic Win. Sad part though is that it's removable.

The only downside is all the deaths caused by bikers who get a star and then proceed to ram headfirst into vehicles.

@Mach2 As long as there aren't any spiked blue shells I'm fine with that.

Probably some darn hipster who thinks retro SNES games are "totally sweet", whom refuses to play anything at all made after 1993 did this.

That's typically the kind of people in Portland, with their ironic shirts, and ironic NES fandom.

@Otimus I love Portland.
Yeah we're hip. But it's hardly an effort. You're probably just someone a little peeved because you live in Vancouver and don't look good in tweed cardigans.

Having lived in both Portland and Vancouver I'm getting a kick out of some of these replies.

Everyone knows Vancouver, WA doesn't really exist. It's just the end trails of Portland spewing into Washington.

@smcn Having just moved to the Vancouver, WA area I'm also finding these comments funny. Though there is talk of the city removing them. As far as I'm concerned they're just as nice as any mural.

If you don't like SNES games you either have no taste or you just plain don't have a soul.

I LOVE SNES games. My second most favorite system of all time.

That isn't my point! These hipsters soley play NES and then dabble in the SNES, and if they REALLY want to be ironic, maybe a Sega Genesis.

I've met one who pretended to like Ocarina of Time once, though, to try and be really off the cuff.

I want a video of someone riding their bike over the speed way and then peddling faster. Someone make it so.

I try to do that, but I'm usually tired by that point. There is also a turtle shell that I make sure to hit but unfortunately I'm never able to fire it at the passing cars.

Yep, PDX is weird and we generally like it that way. Although Joystiq is also weird for abbreviating Oregon as Ore. instead of the standard OR.

@BigEaredMonkey Ore. is the Associated Press style of state abbreviation. Journalism!

That'd be funny if the next report was a rise in depression due to people wishing they could actually be in the Mario Kart world like Avatar.

It's not vandalism, it's art. The city should keep it.
