This doesn't sound right.

Astute streetart fans have noticed an increasing prevalence of Val Kilmer
heads on the streets of New York. We naturally assumed that some demented VK fan
was putting out a desperate cry for help, but _Fox News has put together
some other theories_ (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,188942,00.html) :
When the Vals first popped up, conspiracy theorists (who are in no short
supply in New York) immediately began guessing who the perpetrator of the
postings might be — and why in the world they would do it. Some suggested a
corporate marketing ploy, others an obscure band trying to get its name out.
Some were certain that it was the actor himself trying to get back into the
spotlight.
"Val is against the defacement of any public property," said his publicist
Michael Yanni, adding that while Kilmer won't comment directly on the peculiar
postings, he is aware of them and "definitely intrigued. He is wondering
about the why and who of it all."
We learned two things from this story: 1) the plural of Val Kilmer is Vals
Kilmer (like "attorneys general"), and 2) Fox News is really having a slow news
week. [Related: we've been tracking the Vals for _quite some time_
