Banksy gets Paris Hilton hahah hilarious

Watch the video HERE


The so-called guerrilla artist Banksy has had his way, creatively, with Paris Hilton, below. He has doctored her records, sneaking tampered albums into stores around Britain. The BBC reported that some British buyers of her CD, “Paris,” are getting not only remixes with titles like “Why Am I Famous?,” “What Have I Done?” and “What Am I For?” but also an altered picture on the album sleeve that shows Ms. Hilton topless and with a dog’s head. A spokeswoman for Banksy, a Briton whose pranks have included sneaking altered versions of classic paintings into major art galleries, said he put 500 copies of his version in 48 record shops in cities that include Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Glasgow and London, although he left the original bar code intact so people could buy the recording unaware that it had been tampered with. Among the stores were branches of HMV and Virgin Megastores. A spokesman for HMV said no customers had complained or returned one of the Banksy versions. He added, “Often people might have a view on something but feel they can’t always express it, but it’s down to the likes of Banksy to say often what people think about things.” A spokesman for Virgin said: “I have to take my hat off. It’s a very good stunt.”
