Banksy Hits Disney
On the heels of his well-publicized Paris Hilton remix, street artist/prankster Banksy has made his mark in Southern California where he is to have a show this month.
The stunt in Anaheim was more political than pop. Tourists at Disneyland passing by an iron fence at the Rocky Mountain Railroad ride saw a hooded and chained Guantanamo Bay detainee (an inflatable doll in an orange jumpsuit) standing behind the fence for more than an hour before Disney officials removed it.
One more shot after the jump...

Fantastic!
But in the future, I don't think Banksy won't need to go to Disneyland. After ABC/Disney aired the "Path to 9-11" LIES, with no commercials and paid by right wing wackos for $40m, no one is planning to buy any ABC/Disney shit anymore!

Oh Banksy.. Will you ever stop making me want to find you and love you and hold you until we both die?

"no one is planning to buy any ABC/Disney shit anymore!"
