Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by arcam on Dec 3, 2007 2:23:41 GMT 1, Well it is a massive PR stunt as the ghetto is all about raising awareness, which ultimately make them much more famous, just think how many people are gonna go on the ghetto/pow website, and just how many more people are gonna be after prints which they make next year. Oxford street is a great location in the retail biz as it has incredible footflow, i would not be suprised if this makes international press. Just consider how much an advert on CH4 costs, free advertising on the CH4 news, sky etc.. is definetly cheaper than the cost of the show. I am not being a hater, but POW and all the artists will be laughing all the way to the bank next year!
You're talking bollocks.....they've done it for one reason and one reason only, to highlight the plight of those living Bethlehem. It's already made the Times.
www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2988367.ece
I for one commend POW, Banksy and all the artists involved for doing this. It can't have been easy to organise.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by adamdavis on Dec 3, 2007 2:34:03 GMT 1, I am not denying that its a good thing etc...
But it is a brilliant PR stunt which has taken a lot of planning and will make all these artists alot more popular, which means they make more money. At the end of the day, POW and LAZ and all these galleries are in it to make money as they are businesses.
Even Branson has not done something on this level.

remember, its not a load of artists throwing there name behind a chairty, they actually went there

Exactly.
Wherever it was held it would have gotten coverage. But they sought to use the publicity in a positive manner.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ricosg11 on Dec 3, 2007 2:51:54 GMT 1, This is Banksy's best piece of art yet, the ultimate commentary on the messed up situation of our world. A living, evolving, piece of art anyone can unwittingly participate in. Something no one could ever own. A living social experiment. My faith has been throuroughly restored and I am sorry for ever doubting the man. F'ing genius.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by wimpy on Dec 3, 2007 4:50:30 GMT 1, I was wondering why the countdown was ending on the first night of Channukah.
And, like they say on the site, if you go there just ignore the Santa's Ghetto crap and go to the Dead Sea and other spots. Been a few years since I've been there, but there are a ton more interesting and meaningful things than 30 different versions of people goofing with Mickey Mouse faces.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by nombei on Dec 3, 2007 8:01:19 GMT 1, guess i shouldn't have bailed out on a company training deal i was gonna go to in Israel this week... though to be honest, heading into Bethlehem isn't my idea of a fun side trip.
will be interesting to see how much business they actually get at the store. i doubt i could even get any of the israelis i work with to pick anything up for me.

if Pow wants to raise money , online is their best choice .. I am not worried about if there will be anything .. I am worried if I am at the computer at that time .. .. actually I'm not worried about that either as I have no cash to spend ..

This isn't really about us though is it. Banksy wants to highlight the palestine issue and the best way of doing this is through the press and amazing stunts like this.

BOGUS -1 for POW.
yep!
couldn't have said it better myself
