SAN FRANCISCO -- A longtime San Francisco barber, Shorty Maniace, has never been the type to ruffle anyone's feathers.But when faced with unsightly graffiti next to his beloved barbershop J.P. Kempt, rather than duck responsibility, Maniace hatched a plan.'This was just me messing around and having fun and it turned out to be something great,' Maniace said His weapon of choice? Rubber duckies. Hundreds of them.
'I've had people ask me, 'Does it come from China?' I tell them, 'I don't know where they migrated from but they're safe here now,'' Maniace said. When someone occasionally spray-paints them, Maniace quickly finds a replacement. 'What I've noticed more than anything is stealing,' he said. 'I would love to be the fly on the wall to see that duck cartel.'His unconventional approach has even received a stamp of approval from the city.
