Art declaring 'ACORN Funded Prostitution Zone' pops up in Echo Park

The controversy over ACORN workers who answered questions about starting a prostitution business while being secretly videotaped has moved to Echo Park.

As art.

Residents in Echo Park and surrounding communities have noticed spray painted signs on at least a few walls that state: "ACORN Funded Prostitution Zone" in black letters. They have been noticed by local photographers as well as Eastsider L.A. and Curbed L.A.

Like the Obama/Joker street art of a few months ago, the artist is so far anonymous. And, of course, it's unclear whether it's political commentary or irony.

OK, that’s funny right there. The Left absolutely freaks out when guerrilla art is used against it - that’s supposed to be their exclusive property. BTT.

The acorn artist should have said “Tax” funded prostitution zone.

I’ll bet this is being done by young Leftists as well. Conservatives don’t usually do this sort of stuff.
