what the…?! pt. 3

We’re grinning from ear to ear, we are. UK graffiti legend Banksy teamed up with superproducer Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley and Danger Doom fame to fling a little doo doo on Paris Hilton’s face when they decided to buy 500 copies of her debut album, Paris, and actually replaced them with remixed versions - complete with reworked CD inlay designs (see above) - at 42 record stores across the UK. Authorities aren’t quite sure if the stunt is illegal, since Banksy and Danger did buy the original copies, and the great thing is, no one who mistakenly bought the prank versions of the album has gone back to have them replaced! One record store owner was quoted as being an admirer of the pair’s spunk. Conclusion: everyone hates Paris. Yeah!

  1. Hahaha…. when i heard it over the news i was quite surprised too. But anyway it proves that a lot of people out there, including celebrities, hate Paris. And i guess the outcome of the album is good, since ppl who purchased the CD did not return it back to the store.

  2. I think publicity is pretty much like sugar…. a little bit of it is good but too much..it can kill you… so Paris..do us a favor and stop publicizing urself… :)

  3. well i dont know if paris deserves this, but banksy and danger isnt right altogether. i mean, just mind your own business people! this sort of conduct is so defaming. but sadly, this is the real world, and one can expect this a lot especially in the world of celebrities. you get the limelight, people hate you, they prank you. it’s just as simple as that.
