Well Boy George is finished with his community service and is officially reformed now. There are several reports that are sourced from his manager or publicist indicating that he worked hard and made lots of friends with his fellow workers, the sanitation department, but not necessarily the media.

Personally, I'm glad the spectacle is over, and glad that New York hasn't rolled the stocks back into the city square where people can throw rotten tomatoes at offenders. Boy George's experience may have benefited George, but it did not display New York in a favorable light. When a lesson in humility turns into a a public display of ridicule there's something wrong with the system. The punishment intended to fit the crime, but due to outside circumstances some brought on by the fourth estate, it didn't make a good fit in the end.
