Bansky's Masterpiece: Paris Gets Punk'd

Guerilla graffiti artist and notorious prankster, Banksy, may have just pulled off his masterpiece. Last week he allegedly smuggled some 500 copies of an “altered version” of the new CD from America’s favorite waste of skin, Paris Hilton, into half a dozen UK record stores. The Banksy version had altered artwork from the original sleeve and the musical contents of the CD are said to be a 40 minute remix rumored to be the work of Danger Mouse. The Banksy art includes a photo of Paris emerging from a limo (with homeless people added in the background) and one photo with the head of a dog superimposed over her image. All copies have been pulled from the record stores and customers are not allowed to purchase them. As of this writing, Banksy versions are going in the $500-600 range on eBay. You can visit Banksy’s excellent website here.
