Banksy remixes Paris...

Guerilla artist Banksy has tampered with hundreds of copies of Paris Hilton's new album.

Banksy replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes with titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?

He has also changed pictures of the heiress on the CD sleeve to show her topless and with a dog's head.

A spokeswoman for Banksy said he had doctored 500 copies of her debut album Paris in 48 record shops across the UK.

She told the BBC News website: "He switched the CDs in store, so he took the old ones out and put his version in."

But he left the original barcode so people could buy the CD without realising it had been interfered with.

He visited cities including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London, she added.

A spokesman for HMV said the chain had recovered seven CDs from two Brighton shops.

"I guess you can give an individual such as Banksy a little bit of leeway for his own particular brand of artistic engagement.

"And it might be that there will be some people who agree with his views on the Paris Hilton album."

I love Paris Hilton's album

banksy is hype... but i'll still be first inline to see what he does at the baltic

It's my favourite pop shit since the spice girls.

It wasn't a take the piss limp wrist, more one out of respect.

Paris Hiltons videos are the same as meeting her in real life l reckon

Good to look at, but l'd rather not hear it

good to look at !! Shes a fucking stick figured mutt id rather shove my cock in a wasps nest .

I like her based on her artistic merit.

yeh me too. and David Shrigley

banksy, is he fat? he sounds it

He's a bit of a cliche?

In terms of aesthetics I like his work but it could have been done by any guerilla marketing company it's all a bit egocentric..

Still as with the Jew, I'd still be interested to see his stuff..

Banksy's so passé it's cool to diss him now.

Joe's been doing it for ages, you're all behind the times.

now?

I've never particuarly been enamoured by his stencil-u-likes, you prosaic types just lap anything that looks a bit edgy

When is he on ?.

27th along with obey, invader, etc.

Bansky's stuff on the West Bank Security Barrier in Palestine is without a doubt some of the most emotive and poignant art I've ever seen.

Cool he's has got some stuff up in a gallery next to the tanners which my mate is going to selling some of his own work soon.

Is the bansky stuff on at the Baltic.

fuck banksy give me a smashed metro anyday

I just don't think he deserves all his plaudits thats all, I'm sure me and you could do a similar job after a few months messing about..
