The slightly infamous Mr. Crack van in the South Bronx. The van appears to have lost an apparatus from its roof and the American flags on the sides since it was photographed parked in Harlem last July. I had the same thought on seeing it as one blog commenter: that this would be the perfect vehicle for a drug dealer or smuggler.

Some of the slogans that may be hard to read in the picture:

"Kids tell your parents, no drugs today"

"You use any drug, you support terrorists"

"You smoke crack you will be homeless"

"To our leaders of tomorrow... Every person in America should read this book"

"Kids, please don't use drugs, or you will become a slave"

When I took this picture the van had just pulled away from a McDonalds. Visit the official site linked above for some more 'raw truth' or to buy the book.
