Paris Spoof
From Boing Boing, this is genius, as a symbol I truly hate Paris and what she stands for, this is a wonderful Brechian attack of its nonsense.
Cory Doctorow:
UK graffiti virtuoso Banksy has smuggled 500 doctored versions of Paris
Hilton’s new CD into stores across the country. The CD contain Banksy’s
remixes and have titles like “Why am I Famous?,” “What Have I Done?”
and “What Am I For?”
His spokeswoman said he had tampered with the CDs in branches of HMV and Virgin as well as independent record stores.
He visited cities including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London, she added.
A spokesman for HMV said the chain had recovered seven CDs from
two Brighton shops but was unaware that other locations were
affected…A spokesman for Virgin Megastores said staff were searching for affected CDs but it was proving hard to find them all.
“I have to take my hat off - it’s a very good stunt,” he added.

It sure would make the CD a little more palatable, that’s for sure. Considering that we haven’t sold but 2 of the 30 we ordered into the store, I’d say it sucks…
