September 8, 2004 Pray for Pills + Genghis
The stencil is the massage. Here's another one of those
stenciled catchphrases you see around lower Manhattan.
These slogans are sometimes ironic plays on words,
tweaks of well-worn idioms, and sometimes stabs at political commentary. "Pray for Pills" is one of the more
ominous and darkly comic turns at street-art as
anonymous propaganda. We have absolutely no idea who the artist behind these stencil messages is. (Anybody
know? Drop us a line). This example is comfortably
spray-painted onto a wall near where another Genghis plaque
has been put up, this time with an orange background. To
