New York London Paris Munich

Our favorite guerilla artist Banksy has pulled off a stunt with Paris Hilton's first album. He switched 500 copies of the original album (ha, there's a joke in there somewhere) for a cd with his own remixes and given them titles such as Why Am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For? in stores throughout the UK, as well as making his own album artwork for it. Hilarious.

Paris Hilton probably wonders now where UK is, and in which country that lies. Meanwhile, have a look at Banksy's site. One great quote:

The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.

Notice the link between shit and fame, ladies and gentlemen.

Update: Thanks to someone i call Straight Erik i've got the goods here, an example of what Banksy did. If i had one of these in my hands... oh boy!
