Shepard Fairey. Being interviewed by The Onion.

I couldn't get very far but this caught my eye: "Once the poster got famous, if I was thinking that it was going to be a problem, I would have just gone back and licensed it before they said anything."

I don't need to read any further. Backpeddle much?

I do, but this looked on first pass to be legit...and on second pass...same.

It's too involved for an Onion parody...

Oh, and my favorite Onion "articles" is the dolphins and thumbs. That goes back to the latter part of the 90s. So yea, I'm accustomed to The Onion's parody writing style. This is not.
