Python is even easier:

while True:
print “PENIS”

A cock block?

Wow. This is literally a block from my house.

Since the court battle of the Larry’s was resolved with Oracle not owning the rights to all things java, however tenuous the connection, this wall remains part of the publicly owned infrastructure.

That’s OS specific though, rather an old version of BASIC.

The Java version is at least capable of being run on a range of hardware (though concrete doesn’t have a JVM yet as far as I know) so it’s more universal.

Javascript would be a better bet for OS compatibility though:
function myFunction(){ document.write(“Penis”); setTimeout(“myFunction()”,500);}myFunction();

No environment to install or patch and Ok it’s interpreted rather than compiled, but it’s human readable, which is more important in the use example.
It’s executable directly on a client.
Not self-documenting but then java self-documenting is hardly worthy of note.

compare that bloated mess to the beautiful simplicity of BASIC:

10 Print “PENIS”
20 Goto 10

Meh. Should be a Singleton.

Unfortunately the graffiti wasn’t sufficiently clear for me to easily decipher the previous bit of code; but I guess it is something like

public class foo{
public static void main (string args[]){

and then an extra { at the end to finish off

I’d hoped that the reader would get the point :)

At least it is more clever than the usual bubble letter tagging.

Hmm, looks heavily like Comic Sans.

To be fair, it does compile without error, exactly as sprayed.

I guess Mayor Bloomberg decided to embrace his bad side once he learned how to code.

Would be better if one defines a PenisWriter class, inheriting from MemberWriter class, defining method write().
Implementing interface RudeWord.
More object oriented

That is really rude and offensive. It shouldn’t be in all caps. “Penis” would be preferable.

It doesn’t matter, Java doesn’t care. You could also do public static void main (String … args){}. The only thing Java wouldn’t like is your capital P in public.

I clicked into this comments thread hoping for syntax corrections.

shouldn’t it be Public static void main(String[] args){} instead?.

Yes, all very well, but what’s going on before? We’re all on tenterhooks over here.

Wasn’t there a story about some ancient pen-paper chart recorder software with a case insensitive state variable PenIsUp?

while (true)
system.out.println(“Like”)

…but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book,
right
now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees

and wee-wees in the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?

Doesn’t HE deserve better?…

Here’s a photo of the same wall after the graffiti was removed.

Python would indeed be more appropriate for a penis graffiti.

By: CH

CH — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 06:10:00 +0000

Yeah… exactly! Java… pfft!

I guess the concrete wall requires the penis string to be hard coded.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(It’d be a lot easier to spray-paint if they used Python, I’ll admit.)

When will kids learn some respect and stop practicing their “art” with a total disregard for hardworking people? Parents, teach your kids to know better: Java is just unacceptable.
