I only know this because my office window looks out on Houston and I see the billboard ever day. It didn't take long for the vandal(s) to strike - I think the billboard had only been there for two, maybe three days at most. I can't think of this as defacing because I think it makes the ad more interesting.
Just as makeup is worn to accentuate features, something about the bright yellow on the black and white makes for a more interesting image. It's not just that I like it when advertising is subverted but the splotches of color somehow make Justin look sad. They resemble tears or little wounds; it's a shame red paint wasn't used. The picture somehow seems soulful rather than just another empty advertisement. I hope someone vandalizes the other half of the billboard and manages to create something artistic with it, too.
