The road cones cost about $40/each, so I would assume the barrels are $100/each or more. If they were purchased by the state, double those costs(the government ALWAYS pays too much).

Here's the guy's blog.

He had a post up last month saying he was finished doing crazy shit and breaking the law until he finished at NCSU. That didn't last long... He also posted a photo of his face, which seemed really foolish to me. At least he's more of a badass than that fag Banksy.

Maybe I'm confused, but what does Kaplan have to do with Hillsborough Street? The two streets don't come anywhere near each other.

6/2/2009 3:07:04 PM

^^ i've read every single post in that blog. good stuff there.

^ just a TWW thing. "XXXX OFF KAPLAN"

6/2/2009 3:08:11 PM

^Google says they can be as low as $31.03 a piece. Search for Channelizer drum.

I'm sure an actual company that is buying a few thou at a time gets a better deal.

6/2/2009 3:08:13 PM

OMG AS A TAXPAYER I DEMAND THAT WE COLLECT THE $287.50!!

wtf ever.

The contractor doing the repairs is responsible for traffic control devices (usually).

6/2/2009 3:35:53 PM

Who's to say the guy doesn't use ones that are already damaged... probably not though.

6/2/2009 3:48:21 PM

^^we've already been over that, but qntm still thinks the burden works its way back to the taxpayer

ever

6/2/2009 4:03:30 PM

ok...lets build a daisy-chain

contractor gets plans
sees job needs 500 barrels to complete work

contractor bids work with cost of 500 barrels -> $25k

contractor gets job and installs traffic control -> $25k

person steals 10 barrels to make "art"

now traffic control is deficient

person has a wreck due to deficient traffic control and kills someone

contractor gets sued for $10M

OSHA fines contractor for deficiency in traffic control $750k (1 barrel missing = $25k, 2 barrels missing = willful, so $75K, 10 barrels missing is willfulx10 so $750K)

contractor is on the hook for almost $11M for $500 worth of barrels

and you are saying it is ok to steal?

6/2/2009 5:07:04 PM

why argue for responsibility when this dude is doing so much good

let the boring people of the world worry about silly details

this guy rocks

p.s. the okness of this act is determined by it's awesomeness... we should not be worried about this guy but the copycaters who will vandalize but create nothing of value

6/2/2009 8:32:38 PM

if he wanted to make something cool, he should have purchased his own materials

6/2/2009 8:38:12 PM

is the world not dreary enough you?

this dude blesses us with his creative spirit and all you can think of is that he might be breaking a rule or two?

for the goodness of your soul, you might want to rethink your position

6/2/2009 8:41:12 PM

i appreciate the work as much as anybody. i'm just saying i don't want him to spray paint my car with monster faces

6/2/2009 8:45:19 PM

you should tell him that on his blog

6/2/2009 8:46:28 PM

done and done

6/2/2009 8:50:21 PM

oh ken, you got the loving response right back

do you feel as special as you should?

6/2/2009 9:19:21 PM

Ive got a friend from California, and he was telling me about the street work there compared to here, and he said the govenment would be writting these companies left and right. all the ragged equiptmant, barrels nit in the correct place, shitty driving conditions, piss poor patch jobs.
I hillsborough and wade ave just fucking suck. you would think they are some hick back roads

You like Hitler and hate art? Why would you admit to that?

Quote :

"As a young boy he had shown natural talent for drawing. His gift for drawing had also been recognized by his high school instructors. But things had gone poorly for him in high school. He was a lazy and uncooperative student, who essentially flunked out. To escape the reality of that failure and avoid the dreaded reality of a workaday existence, Hitler put all his hope in the dream of achieving greatness as an artist. He decided to attend the prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. In October 1907, at age eighteen, he withdrew his inheritance money from the bank and went to live and study in Vienna. Hitler's mother was by now suffering from breast cancer and had been unsuccessfully operated on in January. But Hitler's driving ambition to be a great artist overcame his reluctance to leave her. He took the two day entrance exam for the academy's school of painting. Confident and self assured, he awaited the result, quite sure he would get in. But failure struck him like a bolt of lightning. His test drawings were judged unsatisfactory and he was not admitted. Hitler was badly shaken by this rejection. He went back to the academy to get an explanation and was told his drawings showed a lack of talent for artistic painting, notably a lack of appreciation of the human form. He was told, however, that he had some ability for the field of architecture. But without the required high school diploma, going to the building school and after that, the academy's architectural school, seemed doubtful. Hitler resolved to take the painting school entrance exam again next year. Now, feeling quite depressed, Hitler left Vienna and returned home where his beloved mother was now dying from cancer, making matters even worse."

Seriously though if nothing else they should have just moved the thing to their office and put it out front or something or put it in the brickyard or something not just tear the thing down

I don't understand what you're saying here. Hitler loved art and wanted to be a painter. It was one of his great passions, that and exterminating the Jewish people.

Big surprise, looks like somebody is looking at jailtime.

6/11/2009 12:35:12 PM

I doubt he'll be facing jail time, especially if this is a first offense. Oh wait, he has evidence of plenty of other offenses all over his website. There are some pretty amazing graffiti artists, but most of them are smart/not narcissistic enough to publicly take credit for their work.

6/11/2009 12:42:07 PM

why should he not get punished for this? fucker needs to buy his own barrels if he wants to hack them up
