-update (May 28th) ...so Apparently this is a fake...I did have suspicions, not because it wasn't technically feasible but because it is ridiculously expensive. But hey, people have spent money on stupider things. Also, the fact that DHL was in on the joke sort of helped it look somewhat legit.
Also, this is a bit of an afterthought, Banksy is worth checking out. He's a semi-anonymous British graffiti artist. Saw one of his pieces on a sexual health clinic in Bristol, it was quite good.
Personally though, his CCTV piece seems the most 'on point' work he's done, in Britain at least.
The pervasiveness of CCTV's in England is pretty absurd. I couldn't help but think about the Orwellian nature of it all.
