Money in the Banksy (a followup)

You can read more about Banksy's work on an opening to The Simpsons as reported by the NY Times.
It's an interview with the producer.
I liked this:

Even compared to how “The Simpsons” has mocked Fox in the past, this seemed to push things to a different level. Are you sure there’s no one higher up than you on the corporate ladder who’s displeased with this?

I think that we should always be able to say the holes in our DVDs are poked by unhappy unicorns.

You can view the video in the last post on this subject (updated to HD).
Because...SD?...pshyah...don't even talk to me.

Laughing all the way to the Banksy

Ironically, the creators of The Simpsons outsourced artwork for the show's introduction to street artist Banksy, who highlighted conditions often found in outsourced sweatshops...perhaps not unlike the one in South Korea where much of The Simpsons artwork is produced?



Love the the use of a captive unicorn to poke holes in the DVD discs.

Best contrast.


Note the installation's border on right...


The models move.


And my favorite:
