For the very few who are familiar with this sticker find the image itself amusing, and are able to derive straightforward visual pleasure without burdening themselves with an explanation. For other viewers however…they may be confused by the sticker’s constant presence and random appearances around Hawaii. Street signs, walls, and cars...bottom line, you've seen this everywhere! Many stickers have been peeled down by people who were annoyed by them, considering them as an eye sore and an act of petty vandalism. Others can only view it as wonderful works of art.
