Could an editor or a moderator or something please teach that Corey guy a lesson? That's a disgusting comment to leave, and I have no idea how to flag or report it. Sicko. By the way.

I do something similar, although not with products - I write messages onto post-it notes and stick 'em all over public property in the hope to brighten someone's day. Wouldn't call it an art form, but I'd love to see it erupt as some new underground anti-movement. The people paranoid about things being poisoned should take to home-growing their own food instead. However, I do agree with others on the switching labels. It's one thing to change a label and make it clear that it's been drop-lifted. It's another thing to switch, say, the labels on a can of baked beans and a can of kidney beans. It could cause someone to have a severe allergic reaction or something. Finally, no; I - personally - don't think drop-lifting can be called art. However, people hang washing lines from ceilings and leave broken light bulbs all over the floor in galleries and call it art too, so I suppose I'm in no place to judge. *laughs* I found this entire thing hilarious.
