Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
I can’t say legally since I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think much of people who suggest you do (crime) because (crime) occurred. I consider it a low-end mentality to view that as a resolution or justice of some kind.
I don’t think that it’s a resolution or justice, I think it’s funny ^^
Not as funny as a person adept at using stencils to paint on other people’s property getting upset someone used his stenciling on their property, IMHO.
I support people painting on gray walls in cities!
I support it if it’s what the people want.
As I support a company’s right to use the likeness of illegal graffiti on their clothing.
So you’re a bootlicker? A fascist? You honestly prioritize corporate profits over public art? Fuck you.
Well that escalated quickly
Ok.
fair
Or maybe the ultimate troll artist, is fucking trolling. Perhaps making a joke about stealing their stuff because they stole his.
Perhaps. He’s super-clever like that.
Imagine obliquely calling someone basic when you had to have their point explained
Jesus Christ you are a moron.
Ok.
Yep, quacks like a Nazi.
Ok.
