When Bart met Banksy

Happy Monday everyone! More from my weekend coming up but before that, here's some comic relief to get us back into the weekly groove. It was only inevitable that Bart Simpson would run into art vandal extraordinaire Banksy on the streets of Springfield one of these days and this is what happened when they did. Using the opening sequence of The Simpsons as his surface, Banksy directs an altered version of this now classic hallmark, painting a dark and satirical view of the corporate machine that has become this world famous animated television series now in its twenty-second season. Throw in few tags on the streets of Springfield, a sprinkle of Banksy's trademark rats and Bart's 'I must not write all over the walls' detention scene and you have the perfect recipe of art and culture that reflects no longer solely American culture but a Western lifestyle that feeds the supply and demand markets while fuelling an underground anarchy. So if this is all a bit too deep on a Monday morning, sit back, roll the titles and imagine what Homer would say about all of this...
