Hi David.
Nice photo. It's simple but the detail of the people who made this comparison with the typicall Coke announcement is great.
Regards, Oscar

Excellent idea! Very interesting photo.
Hi David,
Cette photo délivre un puissant message à propos de ce groupe capitaliste de boissons gazeuses et sucrées ! Je suis toujours étonné de voir des pub pour cette marque dans les pays les plus lointains, preuve que dès qu'ils peuvent écouler leur "drink", ils n'hésitent pas à forcer les marchés. Ca + MacDo et on a tout vu !
J'aime beaucoup le côté revendicatif de ta photo et aussi l'adresse avec laquelle le logo a été construit sur le modèle original...
Bien vu !
Christophe

Excellent capture, framing an "thinking" behind your shot. They're using the CocaCola font more or less, right?
refreshing snap, delightful.
Bravo!
Francis

I really like this! Whoever came up with this graffiti was really clever. It's a good thing you had your camera with you when you saw it. The composition is very simple, but the message it conveys is a powerful one.

Hi David,
Thought you might be interested in my collection of Rigas stencils.
http://www.jeremy.lv/stencils
Theres about 300 from Riga and a few towns in Latvia and have been collecting for a few years now.
I live actually right opposite this stencil on Dzirnavu iela!!! There is actually a few of these around town but they are a quite old so they are getting cleaned off.

Great concept. After all even the brand of "Coca Cola", this logo, is indeed a "synonym" to capitalism, like all multinational corps.

Hi, this is a powerful statement. I've never heard of "Riga"... but I have been living in San Francisco for one year now... so i understand the sarcasm in this photo. I personally don't see what's wrong with Capitalism or Communism. It's just a matter of where one chooses to live. But Coke-a-Cola surely does symbolize Capitalism definately. Great powerful photo.
