Paris loves banksy

In case you didn’t know banksy is an artist, you can read about him on wikipedia, but in essence he is a mysterious graffiti artist who does art stunts. Most of them are funny (from at least my pov) and all of them are audacious. Meanwhile Paris hilton is, well a bored rich girl(?) who is famous for being famous.

So their relationship… well they’ve almost certainly never met but Banksy recently pulled an new art stunt. He went and replaced 500 random copies of Paris’ new CD with his own slightly different. Slightly unflattering, versions. There is even a video of banksy and co doing the deed.

Even the spokespeople for the record stores seemed to think the idea was cute.

A spokesman for Virgin Megastores said staff were searching for affected CDs but it was proving hard to find them all.

“I have to take my hat off – it’s a very good stunt,” he added.

So I guess at the moment it is Banksy 1 Paris 0. Or I suppose measured another way, Banksy 1 Paris several hundred million.
