Lots of Banksy at:<br><br>www.banksy.co.uk<br><br>and<br><br>www.artofthestate.co.uk<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Banksy, his stuff is great<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://adweek.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/banksy.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Yes, Banksy has done some great political art.<br><br>But Vannah White and Paris Hilton are not the enemy and this is a misdirection of attention.<br><br>This is targeting an individual who has already been made into a poster child for the CIA media's "women are vain and useless" campaign that is used to discredit all women in the eyes of men who must remain a non-nurturing warrior class of recruitables.<br><br>Admittedly, Paris Hilton's name has too much connotation to resist using as anti-French and anti-feminine and anti-celebrity agit prop.<br><br>But Banksy should focus on the real enemy he portrays in that amazing piece with Mickey and Ronald holding the napalmed arms of Kim Phuc in Vietnam and not focus on that hedonistic jet-setter.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> So Paris Hilton and the rest of her worthless kind ARENT influencing the Young Females around the world?<br><br><br> Hugh why don;t you come hang out with me in Cali and I will show you. <p></p><i></i>

Banksy is kind of good, but also way overrated and sometimes kind of embarrasing really... and you get sick of the sight in London. <br><br>Love these harsh parodies of his stuff (and/or his lesser imiators) from Chris Morris' "Nathan Barley" -<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.trashbat.co.uk/dvd/wallpaper.html">www.trashbat.co.uk/dvd/wallpaper.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
