How to Deface Web Sites Without Getting In Trouble


We're sure many of you have dreamed of becoming accomplished graffiti artists. However, the sad truth is that you're a little scared about the whole law-breaking thing and can probably barely draw a stick figure.

But emo-hip hop crew Atmosphere, as part of a promotion for its new album -- of course -- are letting average-Joes deface property on the Internet. The Web-based (no download necessary) tool gives you virtual markers, spray cans, and stencils to help you create your masterpiece.

Sure, the Tag the Web tool won't suddenly make you as cool as Banksy, but it's fun to use, and once you're done you can share your creation with others on the Internet. Don't miss the the 'Tag the Web gallery,' where you'll find some truly impressive renditions of Web pages augmented with virtual spray-paint and stencils.
