    Banksy...

    Gotta love him

    --------------------------------

    Banksy remixes Paris...

    Guerilla artist Banksy has tampered with hundreds of copies of Paris Hilton's new album.

    Banksy replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes with titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?

    He has also changed pictures of the heiress on the CD sleeve to show her topless and with a dog's head.

    A spokeswoman for Banksy said he had doctored 500 copies of her debut album Paris in 48 record shops across the UK.

    She told the BBC News website: "He switched the CDs in store, so he took the old ones out and put his version in."

    But he left the original barcode so people could buy the CD without realising it had been interfered with.

    He visited cities including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London, she added.

    A spokesman for HMV said the chain had recovered seven CDs from two Brighton shops.

    "I guess you can give an individual such as Banksy a little bit of leeway for his own particular brand of artistic engagement.

    "And it might be that there will be some people who agree with his views on the Paris Hilton album."

    He's a bit of a cliche?

    In terms of aesthetics I like his work but it could have been done by any guerilla marketing company it's all a bit egocentric..

    Still as with the Jew, I'd still be interested to see his stuff..

    Banksy's so passé it's cool to diss him now.

    Joe's been doing it for ages, you're all behind the times.

    I've never particuarly been enamoured by his stencil-u-likes, you prosaic types just lap anything that looks a bit edgy ;)

    Bansky's stuff on the West Bank Security Barrier in Palestine is without a doubt some of the most emotive and poignant art I've ever seen.
