No, no. It's not BAD, it's Beneath Us. Unfortunately, they would
probably appreciate the graffiti because it's "anti-bourgeois" (read:
their parents would disapprove).  What would really get their goats
(not Aberforth's) would be a chorus of people saying the Emperor is
buck nekkid. That's their worst fear--being Found Out.
