When I grow up I want to have as much money as Ban, by gbh on Dec 27, 2006 4:04:01 GMT 1, Not sure if this has been brought up, but whoever did it should own up. It's certainly good for a laugh.
Here's the story so far as I understand it, feel free to add or correct.
100 of these numbered flyers were handed out to ppl in the queue for flags.
These are not from POW, no stamp, etc.
The text reads "When I grow up I want to have as much money as Banksy"
When the red letters are assembled from the text it reads "I want a Banksy"
lower right corner has I (heart) MWY
so, who is MWY
everyone assumes this is a banksy print, bloddy hell one is one the bay right now at $200 USD

tom, my partner was in the first 10 in the queue and was given 2. They are nice "souvenirs" of the event, but this ebay listing was a tad misleading methinks. I reckon someone thinks they've just bought a banksy.......going to be very disapointed.......

It's described as a 'flyer from the 2006 Santa's Ghetto Exhibition'. I suppose the connection with Santas Ghetto is a bit tenuous but people are still bidding ยฃ250 for a flyer- doesn't worry me though- I have two! :-)

When I grow up I want to have as much money as Ban, by ยฎat on Dec 27, 2006 13:04:12 GMT 1, I was in the first 10 in line and have one.
All numbered in pencil.
Was a young (20's i would say) girl with black hair who handed them out, and said 'good luck' to a few people as she did so.
She then crossed the road, walked back past the line on the opposite side, and went up tott ct. road.
She definitely only had a very small pile of them and was there literally only a few minutes so yes they are limited.
We all thought it was something to do with the print- wondered if perhaps it was entitling us to a signed one (numbered out of 100) for being first in line, or for a lottery for them or something.
It was only when someone asked that we discovered that it was nothing officially to do with it.
Guy from POW (don't know his name) was trying to get one from someone as he liked it!
he also said to me that 'maybe it is a bonus from Banksy' and that 'maybe Banksy is a she' with a wink  ;D
Personally I love it.

Ah....Tom was the one behind me in the line. He looked very cold!
He did say that he had been sent by the other half to get one ;D

When I grow up I want to have as much money as Ban, by gbh on Dec 27, 2006 13:22:46 GMT 1, holy crap sold for USD $526!
I suppose you really have to ask yourself...
if the buyer found out it wasn't a Banksy, would they like the image any less?
I mean, people do buy the art because they like it ..no?
I think I've just gotten the point of what the creator of this flyer set out to do.

When I grow up I want to have as much money as Ban, by gbh on Dec 27, 2006 13:26:58 GMT 1, oh and by the way, what an excellent way to make money.
print up some of these, hand them out in the queue at SG, watch everyone get swept away with the hype and see them sell on ebay for $526 USD.
Drip feed them into ebay and sell the stash you have in reserve from the original print run you did.
minted.
fuck, I'm in the wrong business

About as much chance of hell freezing over and her wishing us luck in the new chilly atmosphere, maybe she wanted us to survive burning the prints?

When I grow up I want to have as much money as Ban, by RBK on Dec 27, 2006 17:16:41 GMT 1, I think the flyer is great - that is why I was after one so aggressively last week. It was obviously an artist who just wanted to be part of the fun. It is a great image despite who made it (Banksy or an unknown artist). As you can see from past threads, I was more after that flyer than the Flag print
But now that I've secured one - who wants to sell me their Flag print for 300 GBP?

I think more a playful dig at the people that lined up to get a Banksy print ('I Want A Banksy' in the red lettering); and also a dig at those that were buying the prints only to sell on Ebay.

People who buy for resale give people like you (out of london) a chance of owning one, the more people who buy for resale the cheaper you will be able to get it for.
You ae lucky people lined up from 6 am - now you have a chance.
if 1000 people lines up all with the intention of putting on their walls you would miss out!!!
hurts but the truth
deal with it

Now that is a gift indeed, being able to talk out your ass in such a clear fashion. Aimless if it wasn't for arseholes queuing from 6 in the morning to buy the prints for resale, then they wouldn't have sold out at all, and been readily available on POW / electric sheep etc.... and at the price they were ment to be sold at rather than the jumped up extortion that passes for resale prices. Please dont be too shocked when true fans and collectors dont get down on bended knee and and kiss the ground you walk on due to your ability to go to a shop, buy something then sell it to someone who will appreciate it for 5 times the price.

Even if the flyer was by banksy!!! 
Same with the paris hilton cd!! people were paying stupid amounts for something that will be worthless as you have no way of proving whether it is by me or Banksy!!! 
Maybe it was me !!!!!
