Duped by Sony corporation Graffiti Advertising!!

Sony payed for wall space and then payed skint or second rate graffiti artists all over America to paint the same group of cartoon characters on these walls.Thus looking like theyd been painted illegally ,in top spots by the same daring artist all over the country.
No wording was to ever apear with the artwork but much more subtelly, the characters are all doing something with oblong playstations, weather the playstation is 'being' a skatebourd, or an ice lolly or whatever....
partly thanks to the internet(double edged sword that it is)these fakes came to the notice of the graffiti and street art movement who spread the word and a massive counter campaign ensued to deface and trash these pieces wearever they raised their ugly corporate heads.
If you look on the woostercollective.com (a cellabration of street art website) and search their archive you can find the history ov the battle that ensued.
Im not blaming the caravan for this, as it could have been a genuine misstake and I've heard that the graffiti workshop was run by a local man with a swastika tattood on his arm ,who after discussion was not taken onto the next venue.
