This photo released by the Rick James Campaign on Monday, April 11, 2005, shows Hattiesburg candidate for City Council Rick James standing besides one of his few remaining and unblemished signs on April 5, 2005, in Hattiesburg, Miss. James, 53, said the novelty of sharing a name with the late 'Super Freak' icon has worn off -- especially when college students started stealing and defacing his campaign signs due to a popular sketch on Comedy Central's 'Chappelle's Show.' James figures he has lost about $600 in campaign signs, either by theft or by defilement. (AP Photo/Rick James Campaign)
