A Denver politician is upset with new ads from Wendy's that she claims glorify graffiti -- and she wants the campaign erased. City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz has sent a letter to the Burger Chain
asking it to stop running an ad she saw at a movie theater that features a graffiti artist named Siloette spray-painting the "Wendy's girl" logo on a wall.
"Please do not make our
community efforts to stop graffiti vandalism harder and more expensive than it already is," Faatz writes, noting that the Mile-High city is apt to spend more than $1 million next year to clean up
graffiti. But Denny Lynch, a spokesman for Wendy's, denies the spot glorifies graffiti. "That's her style of art," he says of the featured artists, adding that other commercials in the same effort
feature different genres.
