Sorry for the short diary, but I have to be off to work and caught this on BBC. It appears that underground graffiti artists Banksy has hit at the heart of Disneyland by planting a life-sized replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee inside the Thunder Mountain ride. Check it out HERE. This is beautiful. On the heels on “The Path to 9/11” and all the crap that it spewed forth Disneyland gets hit in the shorts. They love to maintain their squeaky clean image and press like this is not welcomed in the least. They are real fascists over there. I know because I got arrested there as a teenager for drinking Old Crow from a half pint while picking up girls. Admittedly, I was underage. But what’s a little drinky-poo gonna hurt, especially if it’s an appetizer to some hot, teenage sex. But I digress. Banksy is supposed to be doing something i Los Angeles this weekend. I urge all located in or around the area to check it out…if you can. I’ll post anything else I find out. I have a few way inside tracks that may lead to something.
Artist Banksy targets Disneyland
The figure appeared in Disneyland over the weekend
A life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee has been placed in Disneyland by “guerrilla artist” Banksy.
The hooded figure was placed inside the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at the California theme park last weekend.It is understood to have remained in place for 90 minutes before the ride was closed down and the figure removed.
A spokeswoman for Banksy said the stunt was intended to highlight the plight of terror suspects at the controversial detention centre in Cuba.
Banksy is notorious for his secretive and subversive stunts – such as sneaking doctored versions of classic paintings into major art galleries.
In 2005, he embarrassed the British Museum by planting a hoax cave painting of a man pushing a supermarket trolley, which he said went unnoticed for three days.
Last week, he smuggled 500 “alternative” versions of Paris Hilton’s album into record shops around the UK.
