I don't know much about Banksy, but I do know that making fun of Paris Hilton is like shooting fish in a barrel, and the only purpose I can conceive for it would be to be maneuver into the slipstream of her celebrity and get wads of free publicity. IOW, a publicity stunt.

I'm sure this was DangerMouse's plan as well.

"barley" man weighs in.

i love that brooker's columns (cf the amazing timberlake one) are turning into the more vitriolic bits of tvgohome now.

"Take his political stuff. One featured that Vietnamese girl who had her clothes napalmed off. Ho-hum, a familiar image, you think. I'll just be on my way to my 9 to 5 desk job, mindless drone that I am. Then, with an astonished lurch, you notice sly, subversive genius Banksy has stencilled Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald either side of her.

Wham! The message hits you like a lead bus: America ... um ... war ... er ... Disney ... and stuff. Wow. In an instant, your worldview changes forever. Your eyes are opened. Staggering away, mind blown, you flick v-signs at a Burger King on the way home."

i'm sure jerry does!

hmmmm.

brooker could have written this comment himself:

This is a personal attack on Banksy that does not actually really citicise the artwork. Typical of new-age cultural/art commissars. Banksy's work is absolute genius. Get it and get over it you moron.Charlie what? I had to look in wikipedia for an answer.

He was one of the first people, before Roger Waters, to paint on the wall that Israel is building

Brooker might as well be Banksy.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:19 (seventeen years ago) link

The bit at the end of each reader comment after that guardian brooker piece should read "offensive?|unsuitable?|mind-numbingly stupid?|email us" LOL @ Typical of new-age cultural/art commissars-guy's screed, didn't I read some of his stuff on the dave matthews band thread?

Both have a specific schtick/niche in their field, have spawned many imitators...

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:32 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah and ONE IS GOOD, the other not.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link

cezanne or henry james had a specific shtick/niche in their field and spawned imitators too.

Even at his best, and he's pretty much admitted this in the past, Brooker is just a plagiarist of Paul Rose's stuff.

who he?

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Originality has nothing to do with anything!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:36 (seventeen years ago) link

One of them used to be good.

probably _are_ most of their imitators...

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Both are bores...if I wanted to hear about how society is in DECLINE OH BOLLOCKS I'd go and do a masters.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:40 (seventeen years ago) link

oh god perish the thought!

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I only really like Brooker when he's just enthusing about shows he really likes. Likewise perhaps Banksy should just do 'happy' paintings.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Banksy is a silly name anyway. He should revert to his given name. Nothing wrong with Norman Evans.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:48 (seventeen years ago) link

oooohh!!

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:50 (seventeen years ago) link

"evansy" would have been far better.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that's been copyrighted by Chris Evans, 'cos you know, he likes his golf, on the green with Tarby, Brucie and Lynchie, o-ho!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Norman!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:55 (seventeen years ago) link

forsythie, surely?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:55 (seventeen years ago) link

normsie, then. hahahahahaha

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 22 September 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Normski?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 22 September 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Used to go out with Janet Street-Portery.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 25 September 2006 11:23 (seventeen years ago) link

tony elliotski?

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 11:23 (seventeen years ago) link

For a bit. Then it was Tony Jamesy Out Of Sigue Sigue Sputniky.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 25 September 2006 11:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I went to see the Kandinsky exhibitaion at Tate Modern on Saturday. That was wicked.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Much better, and much more genuinely wicked, than boring old Banksyy, I must say.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

omg i went to tate modern yesterday!

i don't like art though, and was glad to be out of it.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

didn't go to kandinsky, not made of money.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

You'd get in for much cheaper if you registered as a trusteey!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm joking, of course; but i hadn't been to the re-hang n.e.way so wanted to do that.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Henry did you go in the minimalism bit on the top floor? I fucking LOVE those cube mirrors. I love Tate Modern. I know piss-all about art but I love Kandinsky and I love sculptures that toy with perception and texture. My girlfriend's got a year to go of an art history degree.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

But yeah, my girlfriend's little brother is due to appear before magistrates this Friday for doing what Banksy does.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:59 (seventeen years ago) link

What, giving a false name?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i did go in the minimalism bit. i think i recall a big bronze box thing... i think i prefer design, kind of real-world applied shit, to art. they had some magazines in one display and i wanted to just look at them. anyhoo i'm no good at it/talking about it.

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

also i read all the blurbs (they're TERRIBLE).

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

wait, N0rmski = B4nksy?
