Via kajafoglio, a trend in entertainment.

I think the only thing to be said here is DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP.

I heart Banksy

Via cleolinda, this heartwarming story:

Hundreds of Paris Hilton albums have been tampered with in the latest stunt by "guerrilla artist" Banksy. Banksy has replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes and given them titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?...

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."

Possibly the best part is the ambivalent response from a HMV spokesman:

"It's not the type of behaviour you'd want to see happening very often... I guess you can give an individual such as Banksy a little bit of leeway for his own particular brand of artistic engagement. 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. And it might be that there will be some people who agree with his views on the Paris Hilton album."
