That, and he's an amazing artist.
I could never part with a Banksy original, and it would probably involve removing a wall from a house, which would be kind of a ridiculous thing to try to sell.]]><![CDATA[doggylives @ 6/15/2008 3:13:24 PM]]>275761«mewhitenoise : Banksy can graffiti my house anytime he wants....but first I'll have to buy it and stop living in an apartment.

I've said it before, though; and I'll say it again. Yes graffiti is art, but if someone ever put some of this art on the side of my house I'd be kicking their f**king ass.
That's the thing, it's art; but it's also destructive of property. Abandoned buildings are fair game as far as I'm concerned, and beleive it or not bars and tatoo shops and skate shops would probably be willing to allow (and maybe even pay) a graffiti artist to paint something on their building. But just putting it up wherever the hell you want is crap, IMMFO.Banksy can graffiti my house anytime he wants....but first I'll have to buy it and stop living in an apartment.]]><![CDATA[doggylives @ 6/15/2008 1:52:49 PM]]>275712«pocksucket : Yeah - t...]]>2008-06-15T13:52:49+01:002008-06-15T13:52:49+01:00«pocksucket : Yeah - this is what I found.

It was possibly THE most bizarre television I've ever seen!
Uncomfortable, cringe inducing and totally weird.
If you can find any of it online you should watch it, seriously. In one of the episodes Malcolm McClaren (ex Sex Pistols manager) got up to make a speech to this tiny religious community and called them all boring b*****ds, said they should all take drugs then got wrestled off stage by the harbour master.
