Taggers and the YouTube graffiti craze
I guess it should come as no surprise that taggers are turning to YouTube to show off their daring.
What is a surprise though is that police actually watch the videos and recently caught a suspected tagger who pulled off a pretty stupid stunt in broad daylight high above the Hollywood Freeway.
Here's the stunt that got Buket sent to the bucket.

I agree tagging is too expensive and it is vandalism. The tagger who put his face out there wasn't very smart. He should have known he would get caught. Come to think of it, maybe he did know and just wanted to go to prison to see some of his friends.
It's too bad buket didn't become road kill!

i think it looks pretty good
