Tell it like it is
While there's no shortage of typographic decals that can spell out messages or phrases on your wall, I'm a little wary when it comes to that stuff. It can be really fabulous if you've got a great eye, or it can go horribly, horribly wrong. Still, I like the idea of messages as art when it's done well.

But then, it's only my favorite because he doesn't have one that says stop touching your sister. -Liz
