According to Channel 3 news, this morning, "Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremie Elliott says 911 calls started coming in about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday from drivers worried the dummy along Interstate 15 near Bonanza Road was a real person. "
Upon further research via social networking sites such as; Facebook, Twiter, and InstaGram. People were having mixed feelings about what I would call and amazing execution of political street art. Some were claiming that this was the work of world renowned street artist Banksy and others with more knowledge of the street art world had much more intelligent things to say about the art.
Local Clothing brand Civilian Clothing had this to say, "Honestly Vegas if this was signed -Banksy everyone would be all about it blogging and flaunting how Banksy hit our city...but its not...its someone expressing their self...People that are offended by this need to open their eyes and read th
e truth and see what really going on in our country! We dont live in a perfect world. People are really dying, struggling, sacrificing everything they have to pay bills to keep a float in todays corporate corrupted society...We have billboards with tits and ass all over the city how is this going to offend you?" David Civilian.
I personally agree with Dave's statement. But you be the judge. How do you feel about this?

I personally would like to applaud the artist, for putting the time, the thought and the effort into planning and executing such an extensive and powerful piece of modern politically inspired street art. Hopefully people will look at this and open there eyes to the truths about not only the economy here locally but also the country's economy as well.
