Street Art Jumps the Shark!

Hollywood’s Jessica Alba (of all people) was caught in Oklahoma City (of all places) wheat-pasting giant posters of sharks (of all things).

Apparently this was part of an ‘underground’ campaign to raise awareness of great white shark population loss. A police report was filed by the City’s Director of Parks and Recreation, and Alba issued an apology:

I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.

But there’s an important oversight in this statement. When is Alba going to apologize to the street art community? This incident is a stinging blow to their credibility!
