Is Dov Charney more than the perverted genius behind American Apparel? Imnotsayin came close to catching the Splasher in action in Williamsburg, when he found what seemed like a freshly pasted Splasher manifesto with paint splashed on it. When he closely inspected the pasted signs, Imnotsayin found that the paint was actually pre-printed on the manifesto and there's an American Apparel ad with a half-naked guy and a paint splash printed onto the poster as well. Here's his theory, which actually makes some sense:

American Apparel IS the Splasher. Their clever marketing department cooked up the original Manifesto and began posting it and splashing prominent Faile, Obey, Banksy, etc works in key AA neighborhoods - the Lower East Side and Williamsburg, knowing it would spark a controversy among hipsters and artists.

Some reports about Tyson have him saying that he has actually lived in homeless shelters. "For two years I have been a bum, truly a bum in the streets. I've got nowhere to live. I've been crashing with friends, literally sleeping in shelters." Tyson has made more than $300 million in fight money in his career but is currently $38 million in debt. No reports on whether he's actually the owner of a Bentley or not.

Does someone have a photo of this: Mike Tyson was spotting riding a Segway Human Transporter in Miami Beach by an NBC producer, as reported by Lloyd Grove. A small crowd surrounded the bipolar boxer and when someone asked if he was Mike Tyson, he replied in his famously high voice, "Nah - people say I look like him, but I'm not." A Segway spokeswoman tells Grove, "Some people have questioned the safety of our product, but at least it doesn't bite back." The NBC producer apparently took pictures, so if anyone has seen them, let us know or, better yet, send them to us, because that'd be a nice middle-of-the-work day chuckle.

Okay, so Mike Tyson won't give an autograph when you see him at the Brooklyn Marriott. Do you really think the best to do is to follow him, say you have a gun, and attack with him a stanchion? Some drunk knuckleheads tried to start a scuffle with the odd boxer Saturday morning in Brooklyn, and of course Tyson fought back. The idiots, two men and a woman, and Tyson were arrest, and Tyson was recently released on his own recognizance. The Daily News says that Tyson was charged with third degree assault. The other two were going to be charged with "menacing and second- and third-degree harassment," and were pretty badly beaten up; one of them also had an "outstanding New York City warrant for kidnapping." Class.
