Multimedia artist whose specialty is pulling pranks on the mass media

Quoted: Internationally notorious artist Joey Skaggs is a satirist, prankster, media critic, and social activist. Since the sixties, he has duped the world press with outrageous fabricated news stories highlighting disinformation, hype, hypocrisy, social injustice and the misuse of power. Skaggs purposefully challenges people to consider their core beliefs, how they came to them, if they ever question them, and if not, why not. He has now created an actual product befitting his work. It's the Universal Bullshit Detector Watch -- a wristwatch that also flashes, moos and poops, allowing the wearer to make social commentary with humor. Available at www.bswatch.com.
