Joseph Carnevale’s “barrel monster,” it’s now become infamous in Raleigh NC (this picture was taken on Hillsborough Street). He got 50 hours of community service for stealing a few barrels to mae it.
didn’t the construction company want him to make another one and pay him for it? something about how the attention (as free advertising) they received more than made up for the cost of the barrels.

That really blows. He gets community service while others get NEA endowments for the most nonsensical and grotesque things.
I loved it immediately (It was all over NC news today). North Carolina is notorious for being the traffic barrel capital of the world. Literally every street in the entire state contains at least one barrel or cone. So this made my day… it’s about time someone did something with these nuisances. I don’t know how he got caught (They were from a construction site), but it’s a shame. It would’ve been great if he could’ve stayed anonymous, and kept placing these all over town.

He got caught because he bragged about it on his blog.
There’s been construction going on along my street for ages, and there are tons of pylons out there – now I really want to make something like this! Except preferably without the getting arrested part.

How long did it take him to construct? I think that should count toward his sentence, because this thing is definitely a service to the community!
I read about this too in the newspaper, I was surprised to see this on this site! The guy got 50 hours of community service, which is a shame. The company that owned the traffic cones didn’t even want to charge him. The state of North Carolina pressed charges thought it was necessary to charge him.
Thanks for clarifying this! I was about to ask if this was indeed the Barrel monster from Hillsborough street. I totally remember the papers going wild! I personally thought it was snarky and fairly AWESOME!
IMA FIRIN MAH TRAFFIC CONEZ
Please take the children too, they are annoying as hell…especially when I’m driving

AWESOME!
this was two minutes from my house! it was amazing.
i think this is the screenshot of the transformers 3 movie….
I love this!
that truly is Art at its best!!
LMAO I just saw this on the news! The science major college kid was building a ‘frankenstein monster’, he got arrested for stealing the traffic cones
He should get credit for causing more drivers to slow down than the original traffic barrels ever did.
Nothing unrelated here – it is brilliant.
Decepticons Transform?
Oh yeah! This was on Hillsborough St in Raleigh, NC right across from Jimmy Johns! Freaking awsome!!!
they need more of this, I say this is step one for world peace.
omg i want to make one
and put it in my hall.
Actually, that would be cool… make them out of say domestic size buckets.
I just wanted to know what did they do with it in the evidence locker….
I’m pretty sure that’s “Traffic Cone Man” from the Mega Man series.
That is just plain awesome.
it will fuck youre car
It’s ordering its traffic cone minions to march on the city, blocking unnecessary lanes. I must have one of these in my city.
They should make a girl version of this. He’s kinda lonely.
Cone S**.
awesome
Nicely done! If he had been fined, I would send some $$ to help cover it.

He was in today’s paper!

No, that’s dragons… but only if you have a sports car.
@Rocky Lolo
Oh, noes! Is 5-gallon-bukkit army! Arm LOLrus!
(Could not resist.)
Once completed, the Heart Of Zumangi brought the Barrel Monster to life, and it immediately went on a rampage destroying suburban North Carolina.
It will Hump Your Hummer!
Hahaha! I remember the newspaper going nuts over this here in NC!

Yep, I live in North Carolina. It was at a college near me. LOL when I saw it on the local news.
