I love it . . . honest, I do. Banksy is a hero of sorts, and it gives me an excuse to link to that post once again, in my attempt in lever in an ever so tenuous six hundred and sixty six degrees of separation link between Paris Hilton and the SPGB, but I also can't help but stifle a metaphorical yawn.
Ridiculing Paris Hilton for being talentless and not being worthy of fame? Obviously, Banksy hasn't been tivo'ing the Simple Life. Paris has been in on the joke for a long time now and, being the shrewd self-publicist that she is, will recognise that this qualifies as excellent publicity. Not even a subversive as talented as Bansky can parody self-parody.
And what will be the probable outcome of his attempt in making some stinging rebuke about the banality of capitalism and its tawdry consumerism? The doctored CDs fetching a few hundred quid on eBay.
UPDATE
Banksy's doctored artwork can be seen on Flickr here.
