HBO was about to get that business. There is a mural of Kobe Bryant on a wall in California, however, HBO decided to post a billboard and its right on top of the mural. Damn! Well when HBO got word their ad had been placed right on top of the mural, they ordered an immediate removal, according to TMZ. Officials seemed pretty swift about having it taken down. But apparently the folks at HBO weren't aware their ad would even be placed over the Kobe mural. When the ad came down, luckily, the artwork wasn't harmed. However, the vendor who owns the mural said he would eventually allow ads to go up over the mural as long as the ads don't damage the Mamba mural.
