Do you think Banksy is happy?, by threenine on Oct 25, 2010 17:05:48 GMT 1, I mean genuinely happy. When you think about it he can't enjoy the freedom that you and I take for granted and must be constantly worrying about trails leading back to him. For all the fame & notoriety it must be a life of constant paranoia.
Your thoughts?

Do you think Banksy is happy?, by mmmike on Oct 25, 2010 18:06:41 GMT 1, I don't think the secret identity thing is making him unhappy. If it was he would just stop. It isn't like he is hiding for his life. It seems like a lot of people know who he is and where to find him. I'm guessing most are very respectful of his wish to hide his identity. At the end of the day if he starts getting hounded and losses his mystery status, the world will go on and people will continue to like his work. So I'm not loosing any sleep over his happiness. And I'm sure he isn't loosing any sleep over trying to keep his identity a secret.

That is pure bull! I can't believe that. I mean I can understand marking down bread but 2/3 off the same day? No way. Check your facts. If that were true why would anyone buy during the day. Day old loaf then I could see 50% off, maybe 2/3 off but not same day.
Why do people insist on making up these crazy lies?
PS i hope Banksy's toe nail gets better soon.

Do you think Banksy is happy?, by twist65 on Oct 25, 2010 22:33:03 GMT 1, they used to do it with the plastic boxes of mini-donuts etc too at my supermarket of choice, but now it's a 2 for 1 job. I can deal with the gluttonous self-loathing after putting away one of those bad-boys, but taking on 2 makes me feel like Mr Creosote...
