Co-founder of Graffiti Research Labs detained in China.

I'm kinda evenly split between "What did you _think_ would happen, dude?" and "Well, he was doing what a graffiti artist does, putting up his art whether anybody approves or not, it was kinda the next step." I mean, _I_ wouldn't piss off China like that, but you'll note I haven't gone to China yet so it hasn't exactly been an issue, I can sit over here and dislike their censorship as loudly as I want. (Note to self: careful what SF0 tasks you do while you're there, if you ever visit Hong Kong.)

So yeah, I hope he gets out because I like his work. I think he's positioning himself as the Ugly American, at least the way it will come across to Chinese ears, but I also think he's right about the censorship.
