This reporter almost immediately puts Banksy's art into monetary terms. It's kind of like finding one of those paleo projectile points (stylistically dated to around 11,000+ years old) at an archaeological dig, and having some asshole say, "How much is that worth?" Then one has to calmly collect oneself, and explain to them how the artifact is more valuable in what it tells us about the past.

The guy, Banksy, sounds interesting enough. And I can't imagine it's possible to really "damage" New Orleans with this kind of graffiti, right?
