    Hmm. And Bansky, like the Simpsons, was once relevant and original. Alas.

    Banksey has never been relevant.

    "Let's make political statements whilst never actually revealing who i am".

    He's either a celeb wannabe, a coward, an annoying teenager who has now become an annoying 30 something or all of the above!

    Isn't actually doing the intro for The Simpsons and believing what he believes kinda perverse?

    Its not really that big a deal since the simpsons have already made similar jokes themselves before (although they were funnier and not so long winded).

    If he was a celeb wannabe, wouldn't he reveal himself?

    No, since the fact he doesn't reveal himself is a large part of his fame.

    Ah, but do you not think that this is part of his plan?

    HAven't you ever heard of The Stig? of course you have! Because everyone wanted to know who he was! Even though the chances of ever having been aware of the person in the Stig suit beforehand anyway were very small.

    Still didn't stop people from wanting to know.

    Ben Collins, who the f*ck is he? He wa smuch more interesting as "The Stig"

    Is that not the point? I actually think it is one of the most ironic statements made. But I think he knows the irony is there.

    The Stig is completely different, that was a person hired to do a job under contract, part of the contract was not revealing his identity the the stig character was never associated with anyone other than top gear and the BBC.

    Why should he reveal his identity and become someone who is selling their own celebrity rather than making artistic pieces. I'd much more respect for someone who wants to be judged solely on what he has made rather than using his talent to become some one who milks their celebrity to make money.
