Banksy on advertising: "Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head."

Banksy is my all time most very favorite artist. A very, very close second is Michael Stipe.

Excellent! This is exactly why I canceled cable and killed my TV a few years ago. I was paying to be shouted at, to be hit in head. I don't know why it too me so long.
