We're a little late with this one, but it's too good to pass up: the graphic artist Skullphone has been hacking into digital billboards in L.A. (last week, at least ten), interfering with Clear Channel's standard array of soaring, illuminated advertisements—the ones that flash between movie, TV, and auto ads—in Hollywood, Westwood, and Culver City.

Guess it just takes a little intrepidity—and an incendiary icon—to throw a wrench in the media conglomerate's machinery, and to disrupt their otherwise smooth (er, clear) sailing.

UPDATE: This was less a "hack," and more a "media buy." Skullphone, it seems, paid Clear Channel.
