Your Civic Doodee

Your Civic Doodee

Here we have a curious mixture of civic pride and vandalism in Sevilla. RECOGE LA KK DE TU PERRO means PICK UP YOUR DOG’S POOP. The Spanish “k” makes a “kah” sound, so “kk” means “caca,” which means “poop.” These four pictures were all taken within a two-block radius, and although it’s true that there did not seem to be a dog caca problem in the two-block radius, one can’t help wondering if a little dog caca wouldn’t be preferable to a glut of instructional graffiti.
