Clearly you have never been to Weston-super-Mare.

I have, actually. Tide goes out a long way, granted. OK, it's the Bristol Channel. It's wet.

I think a while ago someone posted this article about spoof news sites that aren't obviously spoofs, or funny, or SATYRE and are just there to confuse people and get ad clicks

the hard times is the unfunniest thing ive ever encountered in history

is Weston-Super-Mare near the setting of Fawlty Towers? was that Torquay?

Yes, it was Torquay and it's pretty close.

John Cleese is one of the three famous people to have ever come from W-S-M so that may be where it's got mixed up. (The other two being Jeffrey Archer and Richie Blackmore.)

as a kid i used to mix up Westward Ho! with Weston S-M

they had something about this on that Canadian radio show "Q" where someone was sniffing that it was an insult to the residents.

anyway, I exit through the nearest window and not the gift shop when it comes to Banksy.

real irony here is that Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen already made one of these installations last year

try driving between WSM and Torquay on a bank holiday weekend then tell me they're 'pretty close'

feel like I spent half my holiday on the M5 :(

yeah I consigned the hard times to the sea shitter with the rest of this waste in April, with the epitaph "the world needed a #justpunkthings waterford whisperer"

on that note did u finish that book about 'the irish'

Yeah, I can post it to you if u want!

It was about "the modern Irish writers"

i really hope this is an official banksy stunt

It's from his official store, they have had stuff on group on and achica before.

I bought a limited Banksy print for 50 quid in 2003 or so, it's worth about £5000 now.

Daughter was told by one of the 'security guards' when she was going through the checkpoint "yellow's far too happy a colour, you'll need to take your top off and walk round in your bra." So much for Unity of Oppression.

Ah, sarcasm: the very highest form of wit. In the dictionary, “sarcasm” is still defined as the use of irony to convey contempt. But what we call sarcasm, especially on the Internet, has become less a technique than an attitude: a contempt so settled that it doesn’t bother constructing ironies. I submit that this sarcastic attitude, which presents itself as the perspective of a knowing few, is actually one of the dominant aesthetics of our age. Sarcasm is our kitsch.

I like this.

this made me chuckle a lot :

Further proof that Banksy has been made obsolete by bad facebook memes:

graffiti is considered a "minor terrorism-related act"?!

yeah that sucks

Mystery solved - Banksy was Massive Attack all along!

it seem so obvious now!

and to think that all these years I'd assumed he was Sneaker Pimps

Why can't this guy and his terrible art just fuck off

a DUP MP that I follow on twitter has been retweeting stuff from this parody Banksy account, apparently without irony. what % of the account's 1.47m followers sincerely like this stuff rather than just think it's funny? idk, maybe trying to distinguish between ppl who like it in earnest and ppl who like it as a joke is missing the point and reveals me as a philistine.

But now investigative journalist Craig Williams, 31, claims

So the journalist's age (but not 3D's) is somehow relevant to this? Do they mean he should be old enough not to waste his time like this?

I think Banksy's art is great and I also found this a wholly convincing article, so rhere.

*there

a DUP MP that I follow on twitter

Come again?

I wanted to learn more about Northern Ireland politics so I followed a bunch NI MPs on twitter. it's pretty interesting! here's UUP MP for South Antrim Danny Kinahan meeting some furries, for example:

"Give me a bubble letter and put it on a T-shirt and write 'Banksy' on it and we’re sorted. We can sell it now. No disrespect to Robert," the drum & bass DJ said in a podcast, seemingly confirming past rumours that the anonymous artist is indeed Del Naja.

Banksy 'named as Robert' as musician Goldie lets slip in interview

lol

btw this is false, I am banky

I am Banksy!

it's true, there are no other people called Robert from Bristol

mostly unrelatedly I was in an Airbnb room last year and there was a sub-Banksy "street art"-style painting in the corner which I was looking at, and the owner said "oh my son painted that" and I was just about to say something like "o cool A-Level Art project yeah" when she said that he was kind of a big deal and in with Saatchi etc and I felt v ignorant and out of sync with the world

Be glad imo

xp
I think "bad A-Level Art project" would be a fair assessment of Banksy's entire oeuvre so your assessment was probably spot on tbh.

you should have asked if her son was banky

Or if he was Vilma.
