Genius Moment: Banksy’s BP Oil-spill boardwalk ride
Posted by Miss Info under genius moment , good for humanity , laugh with , life beyond rap , videos[6] Comments
Do any of the holiday tourists at the Brighton Marine Pier in Brighton, England grasp the irony of that dolphin leaping over a BP oil drum and sludge spill? I wonder if “statement” artist Banksy built this ride and just dropped it on the boardwalk or if he went through all the proper channels to have it installed in secret. That reminds me, must put Banksy’s “Exit Through the Gift Shop” documentary on my Netflix queue.
Subversion is fun. (spotted via Vulture)

Banky’s a cornchip that smashes over real writers cus he believe’s he’s wittier and cooler. Maybe he is, but that’s bad politics. Call me a hater cus I am baby.
