Paint that shit Gold

A website for the hip-hop group Atmosphere, where you can tag (graffiti) any site on the web. PaintThatShitGold.com arms fans with spray cans and stencils allowing them to â€œtagâ€ any site on the Webâ€”all while listening to tracks from the new album. From whitehouse.gov to myspace.com, no site is safe.

What’s the point? A faux-tag over a website screenshot? Haven’t people done this with Microsoft Paint/Photoshop for 10 years??

I’m unimpressed – this is nothing new, inspiring, or even worth sharing. It may drive some good site traffic, but it falls tragically short of what it could have been.

Additionally, every time you navigate within the site, the track cuts?? really?? For such a high-visibility site, it’s poorly designed.

If executed properly, the idea could have been solid… but given the way it was, this is not so hot.

I give it a C
