what's wrong with GIANT/OBEY? because it was started by a teenager distributing stickers of andre the giant, and became a word of mouth phenomenon? Or because the creator went on to hone his skills and become a rather accomplished illustrator and street artist? or is it just because it's popular with the kids.
There's plenty of bad street art, but I don't think the GIANT/OBEY is the poster child of crap you make it out to be.
On the contrary pencrush, I had the highest regards for the design skills of shepard fairey. I was in living Providence when the whole thing started and I have to admit that I put up my fair share of Andre decals across the globe. My comment is a personal opinion. Labeling it bad may be seem a bit harsh, but the work just seems dead of late. Shiny, bloated, and dead.
