Rewarding creativity, America style

Above: Nefarious Criminal Activity

The above picture might look familiar if you are one of the degenerate readers we share with fukung. I'm fairly certain it has also made the rounds on Digg and reddit, bestowing upon it the status of "internet hit," as the kids often say.

This is a brainchild of North Carolina State student Joe Carnevale, 22, a history major who stole three construction barrels and turned them into a fairly complex and hilarious work of art. The result?
Though Raleigh police seized the barrel statue on May 31 as evidence, they didn't arrest Carnevale until Wednesday, according to Laura Hourigan, a police spokeswoman. Carnevale is now facing misdemeanor charges of damage to property and larceny. He'll be in court on July 21.
I guess he should have instead been throwing back whiskey like it was going out of style and embracing the if she doesn't say "no," she must mean "yes" philosophy of campus courtship. Presumably, that would have been acceptable behavior for an undergraduate.
