If you happened to watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit last night, you might have noticed that the plot involved some graffiti tagging kids ("his tag is psyko, mine is psyke!"). So, of course, Detectives and Stabler went to the Anti-Graffiti Task Force to find out about a certain crew, and the Anti-Graffiti Task Force cop was all "The Anti-Graffiti Task Force caught this many perps, yo." Gothamist wonders if the folks at SVU timed it to coincide with the Mayor's new graffiti prevention scheme. And for some laughs, check out this Reward poster for tips on graffiti-ers (or people who commit graffiti vandalism).
As for the rest of the episode, it was the usual extremely disturbing fare, with mentions of bite marks on a penis plus much much more. If you missed it, it'll rerun on USA soon enough.
