His comments on the discussion group undermined the point he was trying to make. Then again, the basketball goals are up now so who knows? By the way I know most if not all of the neighbors he photographed; also I ran into him at the grocery shortly after and he confirmed he posted these directly from his cameraphone. Rather than criticize his technique, I'd recommend trying to learn, both from what he did right and wrong. I think he squandered an opportunity.

No. Most of those people were friends who live God knows where. I think his tactic was "tacky" and ineffective in convincing anyone who knows that photoshop can put a sign in anyone's hands....including all his friends from "facebook". Not powerful, but stupid. Sorry B gotta disagree on this one. B, did you see any addresses on the photos? No. Most of those people were friends who live God knows where.

It is the same arguments put forward when a store gets robbed and some of the short sighted people want to shut down the store rather than dealing with crime. If we take apart everything that can potentially be a part of criminal (or in the case of the basketball discussion, obnoxious) activity soon we won't have anything at all.
