In Your Face 32 Feet Tall

HE GETS KICKED OUT OF games; last week he was booted from a mural. A 32 foot-high painting of Dennis Rodman’s mug–complete with hair that changed colors along with the whims of the flamboyant NBA star–was installed above a Chicago highway three weeks ago. Rush-hour traffic clogged as drivers slowed to check out the rainbow-headed Bull, and the Emergency Traffic Patrol began fretting about accidents. It wasn’t long before city officials went on the offensive, and the mural–created by men’s clothier Bigsby & Kruthers–was painted over last week, two days after Rodman returned from a six-game suspension. “If they want to take me down, then they can,” Rodman told the press. “It will save some lives, I guess.” At least that’s one call he can live with.
