Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio no longer appear on several ads in Hollywood for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as a conservative street artist has swapped their images with those of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and film director Roman Polanski.
The giant billboard at Pico and La Cienega had been rented by Sony to advertise the Quentin Tarantino movie that opened Thursday night, but Friday morning not only have the photos of the actors been altered, but also the film’s title, which now reads: “Once Upon a Time In Pedowood.”
The artist behind the alterations goes by the name Sabo, and he says that the faux ads are meant to insult the entertainment industry for embracing Polanski, who plead guilty to sex with a minor four decades ago, and, to a lesser extent Epstein, who was arrested July 6 for sex trafficking of minors.
He also noted that the backdrop of the movie is the 1969 Charles Manson murders where the most high-profile victim was Sharon Tate, the actress who was married to Polanski at the time.

This guy has sharp wit. Great work and more publicity for the movie.
Q: What goes into 13 twice?
A: Roman Polanski

It is against the law, I’m pretty sure. He does rent the bus stop and kiosk ones for his art. I shrug because the law is not enforced against graffiti “artists” anymore, if you look at L.A., sanfransicko, etc.
Sabo is fearless!
Remember recently, graffiti vandalism against posters of the loudmouth anti Trump woman soccer player ?? And reports came out of the new York police department that this crime would be investigated and prosecuted????
It depends what the graffiti is, and if it is targeting certain people for ridicule or criticism, as to whether it is considered an offense.
I wonder if Sabo realized Tarantino's film is framed around the Manson Family murders? Margo Robbie plays Sharon Tate. Tate, pregnant at the time, was Roman Polanski's wife when she was murdered by Manson's crew.
Yup. Vandalize anything remotely pro-American or Pro President Trump and you get a pass. see the story about the ICE center being attacked and the American Flag torn down. Aurora, Colorado.
the cops were ordered to stand down. They obeyed.
Awesome!
Please clue me in.
Thanks!
True HERO.
I am surprised that he has not been caught yet. Someone will eventually see him and call the cops.
Of course, he seems to have it down, and I am sure he gets it done in minimal time - but his 'mash-ups' ARE sure funny, aren't tehy?
