Always Wear Protection with a Prostitute - BanksyNY's Geisha Gets Plexiglassed


Banksy's Geisha piece got covered by some makeshift plexiglass.  Its only held in place at this time by duct tape, but sometimes that's all it takes to keep it safe.

What do folks think?  After all the Banksy pieces (including THIS one!) that have been destroyed almost immediately, is it better or worse to cover the art?

Most might say yes but some purists would yell no.  After all, it is a good idea to always wear protection with a prostitute, but covering exterior walls in plexiglass can seem like an injustice to the streets.

Scandal - Banksy Bombed by BTM, or Not?


Another Banksy gets bombed over in New York.  While this is not surprising, this time the tag was supposedly by legendary New York graffiti crew BTM, or Bomb the Metro.

If its from BTM, then why does this guy's tag look like its his first time holding a spray can?

M&F calls bullshit on this being from BTM.  And why does it look like this dude shit his pants?  Shit pantsed vandal?
