There is no such thing as negative publicity, is there?  

What gets me about this kind of high brow charlatanry is that if a poor kid
sprays graffiti - he is labeled "criminal" and thrown in jail - whereas
these wannabie white collar criminal schmucks not only walk free but become
wealthy and respected members of the community.  I suppose liberal using of
spray paint inside Mr. Shafrazi's own gallery would be an interesting case
of poetic justice, no?
