Banksy Directs Simpsons Opening
[Video removed by Fox.]
From the streets to Fox, with meta commentary yeah? Seems less subversive than just mostly, mmkay dude. It’s definitely blowing up twitter, though, which is kind of like the graffiti shithole of the internet, if easily addictive. How many more sites like this can we have that become a new daily tab in the refresh bin. My Firefox at all times does Gmail, iGoogle, Facebook, Twitter, and at least 1-2 other tabs of whatever I am trying to remember to look at again or buy something from, or just something I’m reading. Does it end? What else are you going to do? I like to sometimes login to Myspace and walk around like I’m in a bombzone. Deleted profiles, weird spam thugs talking to no one, desperate new features by the machine trying to catch up & keep alive. I like the people who are still there spinning out things as if to no one and the people who used to be there. The smartest thing Banksy ever did aesthetically I guess is keep his head out of the light.

myspace is like the beetlejuice afterlife waiting room. i signed up for it with an old email account i can’t access anymore, feel trapped in a permanent way.
How exactly is Banksy keeping his “head out of the light”? It’s not like he did this Simpsons thing anonymously (I saw his name on the sequence at least twice, and I doubt the news that he did the storyboard made its way to Twitter without a push from Fox’s PR machine). Just because Banksy does not allow himself to be photographed does not mean he’s not a publicity monster.
wasn’t saying he wasn’t a publicity monster: that’s kind of the whole thing, right? hiding his face is more a part of that, and it seems his smartest move to me.
this sums up how i feel about my workplace.
i still hand type every website i visit.

reup for the post’s sake: http://www.hulu.com/watch/184048/the-simpsons-moneybart#s-p1-so-i0
It’s being pulled from various YouTube channels as we speak.
Which seems fitting, like a bombzone.

“Seems less subversive than just mostly, mmkay dude.”
Yeah, kinda of looks like Banksy did the opening for The Simpsons.
