Iffy? I don't know. I kind of like the worn look. Makes it look a little steampunk, too. I also like the splash of spraypaint, like someone had tried to deface it. I ended up embedding it in a post called "Son of Texas Will Make Your Kids Stupid: Part 2" that talks about how Texas is changing the school curriculum based on idealogy and not education. I have the link to the main blog in my signature if you want to take a look at it.
