My thoughts on the actual incident are slightly contrarian, in that while the overreaction on the part of the city and media was beyond ludicrous, if it helps this sort of corporate-sponsored faux-guerilla advertising die the quick death it deserves, at least some good will have come of it.
Unfortunately the collateral damage is that anyone who wants to do guerilla art of any sort, corporate connections or not, will be afraid to do it here. Although I didn't use the phrase in that post, I could have: If Sidewalk Sam were just starting out now, we'd call him a terrorist.

By the way: excellent analysis and presentation. The concrete example from Israel is very useful for conveying the scale.
