Why Is Banksy So Rad?

Once again, Banksy's genius has made us jealous. This time by snatching 500 copies of Paris Hilton's new cd, doctoring the artwork and placing his own special remixes inside. Then he put them back in 48 different record shops in the UK. Oh yeah, and he made sure to leave the barcode on so they could be purchased.

It also seems that Danger Mouse has coped to helping out with the mix...

Oh, and the BBC chimed in as well:

Thanks Banksy, now can you do something funny to the jerk who stole my bike.
