If Sidewalk Sam were just starting out now, we'd call him a terrorist.
Er, what? Oh, wait. This bit of speciousness brought to you by someone contemplating a career in political speech writing. ;) Certainly I agree about the overreaction to the cartoonish situation 3 years ago, but public painting looks a lot different than Something Weird that Jane Q. Public has never seen. And I'm with ceo on the faux-guerilla art/advertising tip, despite your contention that guerilla art will be lost as a result. Part of me believes that if you have Real Art and such a bent, you'll try anyway (and if you don't you don't want it bad enough), and another part of me doesn't think it's much of a loss.
I think I'd better step out of the cosiverse, though, before you try to fire up my masses with more rhetoric.
