If the guy doesn't have permission to selectively clean a building, then it would be vandalism, maybe even trespassing.
Graffiti is graffiti, no matter what the medium.
The damage to a wall surface could potentially be worse than paint. Old weathered bricks, for example, are protected by their "patina" (for lack of the exact word), and can degrade and crumble once this outer layer is removed.
Bronzed statues build up a lovely patina - imagine somebody cleaning circles on the breasts of the Statue of Liberty - no harm done? After all, it was only cleaning. (people do rub the breast on a statue of Juliet in Verona, and St Peter's toe in the Vatican - both surfaces are quite shiny where rubbed)
OK, let's see. Was this the only ad that this airline ran with buildings in it? I'm sure there are lots of instances of advertising for travel to New York City, showing the World Trade Centre.
The ad doesn't show the plane crashing into the towers, does it? If anything, this reinforced the idea in the Middle East that the World Trade Center was an important building. And previous to 9/11, the idea of crashing planes into buildings was considered for other sites, such as the Eiffel Tower.
Can we say coincidence, and perhaps a bit of reading something into a 20-year-old image?
What a shame.
Frankly, it's creepy to see guys with purses.
Don't know why - it just is.
I wonder if this will catch on in Scotland.
Now there's a picture - man in kilt with matching purse.

You can't tell if they're serious or not, especially with ads for Star Wars figures on the same page.

You rip their legs off?
A good robot flautist makes it looks effortless.
Kinda like watching a lava lamp.
I'm a little skeptical.
