That is the stunt, hes been a street artist for a while. More pertinent than replacing CDs

I agree with that... but to say it's better than ANY of Mr B's stuff as a stunt

Better Stunt than any Banksy, by hexagonsun on Mar 24, 2008 20:28:15 GMT 1, TOTSE did this ages ago.
This will come and go and be forgotten...
Its impressive amoung hackers - not so much street artist.
Projectors on sides of buildings are much more impressive
Banksy's work will talked about for years to come.
Cool? - Yeah, deff.
Better than Banksy.. i don't reckon so.

I agree, doing stuff with a computer is clever, but the fact you can do it from the safety of your home or car lessens the impact. Actually getting out there in person is much more impressive.

One of the comments under the picture says
""Well, you are all wrong. This was a paid program. Sorry to inform you, but your “hacker” bought the space on 10 boards from Clear Channel"".
Sorry dude.

Better Stunt than any Banksy, by lionel13x on Mar 25, 2008 19:20:46 GMT 1, I heard it might be paid for through web chatter, but haven't heard of any proof one way or another. What I do know is Clear Channel charges almost $100k for their base package to run an add on 10 billboards for a month. I doubt the guy had that kind of cash. I also find it hard to believe Clear Channel would allow that kind of advertising. Can you picture their next meeting with Sony, "Hey Sony buy our billboard for $100K" Sony says "Why should I pay that much, I heard your Billboards get hacked."
I agree its possible they were paid for, but until there is some proof I would think its not likely.

Better Stunt than any Banksy, by Guest on Mar 25, 2008 19:39:44 GMT 1, Are they still flashing? If they are, then it's a paid stunt (thus making it quite lame). If they were taken down as soon as they were reported, then it's likely that they were hacked...
Or maybe they were hacked poorly and subsequently paid for to avoid an arrest? Lots to speculate here. Is it $100K worth of speculation? Time will tell? Will Skullphone go down in history? If so, it wouldn't be from this trick alone.
