ny post gets confused about chalk
just a little media watch item to follow up the joshua kinberg arrest….
on august 15, the new york post said this:
Protesters: ‘Rats to GOP’ [ny post, august 15, 2004]Manhattanite Joshua Kinberg, 25, is using a high-tech bike he created as part of his thesis at the Parsons School of Design to scrawl anti-Bush messages on the sidewalk in “environmentally safe, nonpermanent” chalk.
and after the arrest, went this way:
Rally Big Shows [ny post, august 29, 2004]* A 35-year-old man was arrested for using a convoluted spray-paint mechanism to deface city streets.
Riding a bike and carrying a laptop computer that was programmed to propel spray-paint on the street, Joshua Kinsberg inked the words “America is a free-speech zone” around downtown.
it’s chalk. not spray-paint. and you knew that, guys.
update (2004.08.31): apparently i’m not alone on this one.
