Graffiti

Not so long ago I was at a presentation by some company who bought up the impact of graffiti - not as in how bad it is environmentally but its impact on memory and how it's used as a form of advertising. The idea in the presentation was that a simple bit of well placed graffiti could be more effective than a big billboard or advert as we tend to ignore those.
The example given was when BigBrother used someone who drew the BB eye logo in the dirt on motorway signs.
There's one bit of graffiti that's been stuck in my head for about a month now and I've only seen it twice (both in the same location). I have abosulutely no idea what it means which is probably why. I was on the M20 on the way back from London and on one of the flyovers were 3 words, not too big, "Brooke Shields Alphabet." I'm baffled as to what it means - and, yes; I've googled it. Surely somebody must know?

According to this article its a common mystery and its not just you thats baffled. Noone knows who the artist is and facebook and the like have set up campaigns trying to get the artist to get in touch. Apparantly the grafitti has been spotted all around London including countries like the Netherlands.
