Fake Street Signs For Sale
2008-04-25 16:12:00 Found this interesting post on Grafik Warfare regarding a certain person who is selling genuine "street-signs" and doctoring them to make them look like they are priceless works of art. According to Grafik Warfare;""This sign for instance I know from the bottom of my road in Brighton, so it?s not from London. also that D*Face stencil was never on there. The whole thing is bullshit."If this is true, then the person who just bought this for £4,000 GBP has been seriously duped and I feel sorry for them. It's unbelievable how far people will go to make a quick buck in this age of streetart/graffiti mania. To make fake stencils of others work is appalling.See more of the fake signage HERE.

In American Electric Power’s CD&A, they included their Wall Street earnings estimates and how the calculation of an executive’s bonus is tied to EPS performance: Annual Performance Objectives: In February 2007 the HR Committee established AEP’s 2007 ongoing earnings guidance of $2.85- $3.05 per share as the funding measure for AEP’s annual incentive comp...
