Legal battle over Shepard Fairey Obama poster takes an unexpected turn.
We've been following artist Shepard Fairey's work here on Boing Boing for some time now. A disclaimer, first: I love his work, we have mutual friends, he strikes me as a stand-up guy. Last year, Pesco was among the first to blog the Obama "Hope" poster which quickly grew far more popular than anyo... More.

Very cute, but don't you need those sharp, finny looking things to be exposed to outside air for some functional reason? I can't tell from the picture if they're just painted over or covered by tape or cardboard. I assume it wouldn't work as well with the fins covered or painted, might burn more energy to cool as much as an unhindered A/C unit.
Didn't get the green quite right, though, or else the photo's out of white balance.
you need the sharp fins to transfer the heat out of the building. this unit is now probably useless!
