Banksy Thoughts
Whilst sniffing around some Banksy images (yay to Google Images, really is great) I found this tidbit on why you shouldn't mess with graffiti writers:
The longest recorded piece of graffiti was painted by a student in the toilets of his college at Changsha, Chain, in 1915. It consisted of over 4000 characters criticizing his teachers and the state of Chinese society. After completing his materpiece the student handed himself in and was paraded in front of the school and threatened with expulsion. The sutdent was a 22 year old Chairman Mao. A grafitting artist who later founded the People's Republic of China and was responsible for the deaths of over 300 million.
....and for a totally unrelat
ed Banksy image, the right side I liked cos of the Nihon-jin feel to it
