I still really like Banksy, despite the countless copycatters in Hoxditch now, the originals still really have something of the unexpected, the genuinely bizarre and eye-catching.
I'm kind of tired and jaded when it comes to art pranks, but the fact that it's *him* that did it really does make it seem kind of cool.

Gah. I know who you mean, but can't remember his name. He wrote a piece for Fortean Times about it. I think he was possibly called Jeffrey Vallance, or something along those lines.

1935: A highly artistic and creative prankster named Hugh Troy wanted to see which was more compelling—van Gogh’s paintings, which were on display at the Museum of Modern Art, or the artist’s severed ear. So Troy fashioned a fake ear out of meat and set it on a table in the gallery with a note describing it as the very ear van Gogh cut off in the depths of his despair. Before long, more people were busy going gaga over the ear than over the artworks.

no mention of elephant here either:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5335400.stm
oddly, 10 minutes later whilst talking about a proposed new reservoir, someone on the 'phone used the phrase 'elephant in the room'. was this a coincidence or had he been listening?

COme on, it's brilliant.
And it's pink, too. I'm a sucker for pink elephants on parade.
