Banksy in San Francisco, by otomi on May 4, 2010 19:28:12 GMT 1, hm - it looks like a rehash of an old rat which he hasn't done in sf so far - I'm also missing the point of holding a zipcar sign

Banksy in San Francisco, by otomi on May 4, 2010 21:38:48 GMT 1, This got posted by the alcatraz people:
" Amy Brees said on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 11:04am (link)
Hi all- I'm the National Park Service Site Supervisor of Alcatraz Island. www.nps.gov/alcatraz
And sorry folks, we have removed this graffiti.
While I'm not here to argue about whether or not this is artwork, I will say that we have a high standard on Alcatraz and in the National Park Service. www.nps.gov/history/preservation.htm
We are protecting this site for future generations. We like to keep things historic out here. We do a good job of telling all the stories that we find. I'm glad that we're iconic and I'm glad that you are excited to come and check us out, but please don't permanently change us while you're out here!
We have lots of historic graffiti from the Indian Occupation that we protect and talk about. Come see that! www.nps.gov/goga/historyculture/alcatraz-occupation.htm
And we have had art displays and shows that different graffiti artists have participated in. Just not on our actual historic walls.
Come and check us out! But don't mark us while you're here! Instead, help us protect your National Parks and tell all our great stories.
Thanks for all the interest! Come out and see us! Our NPS Concessionaire ferry boat and the official site for Alcatraz tickets: www.alcatrazcruises.com

Banksy in San Francisco, by TheCatalyst on May 4, 2010 21:43:20 GMT 1, So I guess Amy sees nothing historic about a world renowned artist leaving a little Rat gift for Alcatraz? Weak.
I wonder how long it'll be there before getting scrubbed.

Read from a member on EB that it's already been scrubbed.
If they leave that up there, what's next? For every fan of Banksy there are 100 people out there who see it as nothing more than vandalism. Not saying I agree with it being removed, but you have to see her point.

Oh come on, it was hardly a nola, or even the new No Trespassing. It was just a cheeky mark.
This SF stuff is a bit up and down in general... compared to say the New Orleans trip.

Well that's to bad. They would have probably made themselves some decent cash in ticket sales if they would have left it up there at least 30 days. I bet quite a few Banksy fans would have paid the $26 ticket fee to get over to the island and see the Prison Rat. I know I would have. I was planning on going this weekend to shoot pictures of it, and I would have taken a few people with me.
Now they just lose, they don't get my money.

Banksy in San Francisco, by TheCatalyst on May 5, 2010 7:52:35 GMT 1, Went down to the waterfront and got a few shots of Ferry Rat on the metal door. The doors were triple locked (2 Master locks and a fat bike lock), so the rat looked like he'd be really hard to steal.
Drats.

Please don't go home just yet to vote. We have many more walls here in San Francisco that we'd like to have painted up. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time,
