Skull Phone, aka Sell Out?, by ร
gentรacardi on Mar 26, 2008 20:56:28 GMT 1, Not sure if many of you have heard of Skull Phone, but he's this street artist that's been tagging his signature Skull-talking-on-a-cellphone image all over the streets of LA (and many other places).
Recently, that image popped up in between those new-fangled digital billboard ads. At first, people thought he'd somehow hacked into the Clear Channel (the company responsible for those electronic billboards) and pranked it up - which would have been SHEER genius.
BUT... turns out that he actually paid Clear Channel an "undisclosed sum of money" to show his stuff!

How about that!

Did he actually say he hacked into the boards or are people reacting to his not playing by their "rules??

if the sign was hacked it would be a rather brilliant way for them to respond...
