Broken: (Just for Fun) Photo opportunity

NotaphotooppPaul Graham submits a picture taken in London, England:

Someone spraypainted "this is not a photo opportunity" on the base of a statue across the river from Big Ben and the parliament buildings in London.  It was a good photo opportunity.

Comments:

FIRST! Finally.

The photo could've been easily photoshopped.

Looks like the work of Bansky (http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.html).

Definitely a Banksy. Instantly recognisable. He's done this many times. :)

It's not photoshopped - I saw the graffiti this summer. It's on the walk along the Thames in front of the Dali Museum, between the London Eye and Westminster Bridge.

Banksy's creations are just great, and as other said, instantly recognisable!

I was thrilled when I spotted one of his in London:
