Politics / Visual Art Shepard Fairey Is Arrested (Again)

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 4:50 PM

Shepard Fairey, 38, was arrested en route to an opening party for his first solo art exhibition on two outstanding warrants for property damage by graffiti, Boston police said...

The graffiti artist is no stranger to law enforcement. In a recent interview, Fairey told the Boston Globe he has been arrested at least 14 times.

Shit. If he didn't pay those cops to arrest him, he should.

The corruption of Barack "Gamaliel" Obama continues!

Everything that touches this man is a crime, a scandal or an evasion!!

Good going, Chris. It's only been, what, seven hours since I posted this on Eli's thread from yesterday? Boy, you folks are right on top of things.

I have 5280 set to "ignore" -- did she finally say something interesting?

@3: Slog-tipping involves sending an email, not just posting a comment in a thread.

@6: I'm fairly certain 5280 is male, but he/she is welcome to set the record straight.

You folks all take yourselves way too seriously. Whatever happened to Fnarf? He and I would have probably ended up goofing on each other for an hour over that post.

Aislinn, if I had wanted to Slog tip, I would have done that. I was only pointing out that, if I could come up with that story at 9:00 in the morning, a supposed "professional journalist" should have been able to do the same.

And yes, I'm a guy.
