Banksy's "Dismaland"
i really want to go see Banksy's latest exhibition!!!!! . http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/theater-arts/banksy-dismaland-mauled-world-article-1.2333340 . CALL IT the unhappiest place on Earth. A walk through “Dismaland” in Somerset, England — a sinister take on a theme park by elusive guerrilla street artist Banksy — reveals that the staffers are just as unpleasant as the attractions. “Piss off,” shouted one staffer, hired to look miserable and serve as an anti-guide for guests. When a reporter put on a cheesy smile in a bid to break her concentration, she looked him up and down and shot back her dismissal. Their attitude suits their surroundings. The park — housed in an abandoned swimming pool complex in a county that borders Bristol, where Banksy spends a lot of time — is packed with pieces taking pot-shots at governments, corporations, celebrities, the paparazzi and the selfie-obsessed.

An anti-guide, what do they say, find it yourself? | |

Yup, Banksy's Dismaland pretty much sums up my response to Jay-Z's "Tidal" being all about artists getting paid and not about free energy from the sun and moon!

I'm not generally a fan of modern art but I do think Banksy is a great artist and makes some brilliant political points through his work. I'd love to go see this. | |

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

There's a few buildings with his art on them near where i live.
Both have been here a long time. They have tried 2 remove them a few times over the years. Esp the oldest one. I like em, they make me smile. I like him.

That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

i got a letter from the gobe'ment!
No i just got an automatic call from Solar central that says
"You can save money by attaching solar panels to your roof"
Now what I think the call is suggesting, is, even though we pay money to yo' sorry pensioner ass, is we have free reign to do what we mofu'un like to this house, yo jus gon pay is the same
Inspector was nice, why not:
"Hello Inspector, yes we have replaced all the carpets and stuck Solar Panels on the roof, any chance of a rebate? You are profitting from this ultimately?"
The guy works in Solar and fixes up the house next door and I totally forget to ask him about how his job affects his work!!!!!!!!!!
Man, that's black hole solar spastic skills right there, I need a word.
