Paris gets owned

From wwtdd, "Exactly one year ago today the story broke that guerilla graffiti artist Banksy had smuggled 500 doctored copies of Paris Hilton's debut album into stores throughout the UK, where they sold without anyone knowing they were fake. He replaced the liner notes with pictures of Paris naked and others with her face replaced by a dog. The song titles were changed to a list of questions, including "Why am I famous?", "What have I done?" and "What am I for?" He even replaced the actual music with 40 minutes of Paris saying "that's hot" over and over and over to a basic beat. And now another artist has struck out at Paris, this time an artist named Vinchen, who has replaced several pictures inside the Columbus, Ohio Hilton with the image you see above (unedited versions HERE and HERE).

And good for him. It's nice to see him use his time constructively. Because idle hands are the devils workshop, and that's when they spend time at the genitals. At least according to my poster that says "idle hands spend time at the genitals". And then there's a picture of Jesus chopping wood. And he's got his white robes and a plaid cap, so you know it's legit.

Awesome! I was just talking about Bansky last night. My friend got a book about his work as a present. My favorite part was the fake cave painting he snuck into the British Museum.

I love the simplicity of that. "I'm an artist, I want to get my art in museums. So, I could work and work and shmooze and work and deal with galleries and art dealers and work some more and then eventually die to get my stuff on museum walls...or I could just go in there with some glue and take care of it myself." I love it.

I'm also for any movement that makes Paris look like an ass.

Actually, she does a pretty good job of it all on her own.

I agree with jpx... The troll doesn't even know how to pump her own gas.
