Hackney Wick "defiled" Olympic Mural

[Itziko]

Two days ago, I saw a picture on my Twitter feed of the Hackney wick Olympic Mural (sponsored by Coca-Cola), after being "defiled" with the word SHAME graffitied all over it. It came from a link to a piece of news about it, on some local website. Here is the original (undefiled) mural:

Today I was in Hackney Wick and all that was left was this:

I googled it up but I couldn't find news: nothing in writing, no photos, nothing. It's as if I'd dreamed it. Anybody knows what' going on, apart form an obvious campaign to silence the local discontent at the Olympian farce?

A pic (with some of the 'shame' still visible) and related discussion on this facebook page.

Ah, it all becomes a bit clearer now (but not surprising in any way). Thanks for the link

Maybe it's another in an on going series?

Their words from their FB page.

It was an advertisement for coca-fucking-cola masquerading as a creative project, i'm glad someone took a dislike ( and paintbrush) to it.
Let the people of the area decide what goes on the wall, and i don't mean the twats who gave this the big O.K to begin with.

Well done i say.

the 'shame' looked like a fire extinguisher tag. very messy but effective.
