Area Grandmother Comes Forward As ‘Banksy’

July 22nd, 2010

via the Onion

LONDON—At a press conference Tuesday, 89-year-old Rose Biggin, a grandmother from the Camden Town neighborhood of North London, announced that she was in fact the internationally renowned graffiti artist known only as Banksy. “Those drawings? Oh, yes, those are mine,” said the diminutive octogenarian, who admitted to scaling buildings and climbing fences in order to put up life-sized stenciled images that satirize modern society’s mores and its inherent political power structures. “It sure does help to pass the time.” Biggin then returned home, where along with some of her “dearest friends,” she sipped tea, sampled some nice ginger cake, and planned the necessary destruction of dominant capitalist paradigms.

If Jacko didn’t drop dead yesterday, Bruno’s Conan appearance would’ve been very newsworthy. It’s on Hulu and it’s fucking hilarious (segments 3 and 4).

good morning world! the fluorescent office lights say hello! (celebrity britches, bitches…)

March 25th, 2009

something to artificially sweeten your morning coffee. buying used underwear is cool again! this English guy has somehow convinced a bunch of  celebrities to give him their skivvies so he can raise money for some charity for destitute synagogue people or something. below is an original SIGNED (that’s crazy, he doesn’t sign shit) Banksy for the auction, and other highlights include Alison Goldfrapp’s “butt warmers”, a dick drawing from Daniel Day-Lewis, Fergie’s gold panties (of course they are), a Robert Crumb self-portrait, and Sacha Baron Cohen who also signed it as Borat and Ali G, which is pretty awesome if you’re into that sort of thing. which i am. there are also undies from Ray Winstone, Ricky Gervais, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp, Tilda Swinton and a ton more. you can find them all here for the six or so days left in the auction.
