Is there any way to complain about the complainers?
You know, to be able to tell em to STFU without getting a summons for
grevious butthurt?

If people get to choose what they find offensive, then no-one has the right not to be offended.

[Nexus Icon]

Painting on walls is offensive.
Passing off stencil work as art is offensive.
Spending the price of a hospital wing on said stencil work is offensive.

There are many reasons to destroy a Banksy but racism isn't one of them.

It seems as though the "offended" are too busy being offended, so busy in fact they missed the message!

Same thing happened here, a couple of weeks ago:-

Human Zoo at the Barbican

So certain they were going to be "offended" they missed the bigger picture, FFS!

It's a picture that shows something that is truly absurd, yet also very real.

It's not remotely racist. The race card is just an excuse to remove it with slightly more justification than giving the real reason for being offended.

So what's the message? We're all pigeons?

[Skudd]

Pigeons are racist, There is an old Non PC joke about an african man complaining about working with racists to the point his employer gave him a job at the end of a dock pier, but he still complained about the racist pigeons who kept saying "look at the c%%n, look at the c%%n." (said quickly it sounds like a pigeon said slowly it sounds racist)

Banksy does make me laugh from time to time and you can see how people can miss the point.

So Brits are represented by grey dour pigeons, and Banksy's a wanker as well as a vandal.

Banksy is offensive and talentless.

[Ribenapigeon]

I think Banksy`s stuff is quite amusing but its all the "street artist" wannabees that fuck me off. Like any so called Graffiti arstists most of them are just shit. If your going to make shit art just do it in the privacy of your own home and dont inflict the shit on the rest of us.

Using a stencil is considered art?

I hear he went to Eton with David (call me Dave) Cameron.

(I might have just made that up but it's not completely impossible)

A drunk octopus in a public toilet?

I can't post pictures of what happened next but it's more artistic than anything Banksy has done and it involves Japanese people.
