Alas, Clear Channel Outdoors, which owns the billboards, says no. "He paid to get it up," says spokeswoman Jennifer Gery. "It only ran for two days."
Update: Clear Channel's Tony Alwin is unhappy about the hacking rumors. "The advertisement was bought under the assumption that it was art that was in an art show," he says. "Any claims about hacking into our systems is false. It's a lie, even."
Spinning is one thing, but if those statements are untrue... that'd be a pretty bold lie, even for corporate spokespeople.
I hope in my heart of hearts that Clear Channel are lying their asses off.
