That's a very narrow minded statement.
I know I get butterflies when I look at some graffiti as you would if you saw a great piece of art in your opinion.
I suppose you're on the right track and that I could argue it's art because if brings out a reaction in me and I can read the emotion on the wall, but on a personal level.

And I suppose it's vandalism in a way, but I like to think that the world is a canvas.

What if I posted this, art or vandalism?:

you have a very shitty definition of art. I feel nothing when i look at the Mona Lisa....to me it might as well be a photograph of some ugly old lady i'll never know or care about like the millions of others out there but its value is considered priceless and it is an established work of art...

that being said i think those guys are committing vandalism but i don't think all graffiti is vandalism...


Banksy....look it up if you want to see real street art....

The Mona Lisa's famous smile represents the sitter in the same way that the juniper branches represent Ginevra Benci and the ermine represents Cecilia Gallerani in their portraits, in Washington and Krakow respectively. It is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word "gioconda" in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter's chest, is in warm colors. Men live in this space: there is a winding road and a bridge. This space represents the transition between the space of the sitter and the far distance, where the landscape becomes a wild and uninhabited space of rocks and water which stretches to the horizon, which Leonardo has cleverly drawn at the level of the sitter's eyes.
