Also, it’s strange how the banksy aesthetic is being occupied by both Hollywood (Shoot Em Up: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jlx4n_ibNZE) and by people like Klein and Cuaron. The former isn’t so surprising, but isn’t banksy precisely the kind of culture jamming turn urban marketing that Klein spoke so cautiously about in No Logo? The visual arts still seem to be just a seagull on the progressive radar.

Bansky is the darling of new labour AND David Cameron. So is Naomi Klein. I hate them both.
