Banksy Donuts Print, by bigwilly on Aug 3, 2009 19:09:37 GMT 1, I think it´s a great image and if by a miracle I manage to win one in the lottery...I will happily hang it on my wall. In terms of a Banksy image having to have a deep political and significant meaning...I don´t agree. This is classic Banksy humour and executed perfectly. It makes me smile every time I look at it and I guess that´s the most important thing. Or if you´re looking for a deeper message...how about the idea it´s about the police having misplaced priorities and instead of doing basic policing they waste their time on trivial matters such as spending hour after hour completing red tape [or in this case protecting their own interests...symbolised by the doughnut]. Or if you want to go even deeper...what does the doughnut represent? How about the American dream? From the outside it´s sugar coated and alluring. But somewhat flawed with a massive hole in it and needs to be protected from attack [perhaps foreign]. I like the fact that you can read into the image as much as you want...rather than having the message rammed home.. I hope all the people who don´t like the image won´t be entering the lottery...but I doubt that. Fingers crossed i´ll finally get lucky....but I also doubt that! Best of luck to everyone...hopefully a lot of forum members will end up with one.

Banksy Donuts Print, by Deleted on Aug 3, 2009 19:11:22 GMT 1, Forgot to mention...
... I happened to be walking by the new POW gaff today and they were unloading a van full of print tubes. I couldn't resist asking one of the guys if they had 'a spare Donuts going'.
I recieved a very polite 'No, I'm afraid not'.
Oh well, I'd have regretted not asking!

Banksy Donuts Print, by Stinky Pete on Aug 3, 2009 19:44:04 GMT 1, speaking from 15000 kilometres from POW without a lottery there is no chance of landing a print in the primary market so one chance in a 100 is better than none at all

Quite refreshing!.....Snakes post unhelpful, these (or any subsequent releases) won't be popping up on POW any time soon...
I don't blame the flippers and lay the blame quite squarely at the point of release, these should have been sold at £1000 sorting the men from the boys. Dont accept the 'art to the masses' argument otherwise we'd all have dead sheep in formaldahide on the wall....

Banksy Donuts Print, by ricardob on Aug 3, 2009 20:34:35 GMT 1, I really want to keep this as a place to discuss about the image.
What I think about it?
Cops love donuts. Cops protecting donuts. Cops protecting what they love (own interestings?).
I would love to know Banksy's real motivation when he created this image.

Banksy Donuts Print, by antmusic on Aug 3, 2009 22:36:22 GMT 1, (found this posted on one of the 'other' forums)
"i think everyone is underestimating the depth of this image ..
some may say that it represents a 'tired' stereotype of the old 'highway patrol love affair with their doughnuts' ..
i say it goes a little further :
"unexpected patterns in the cosmic microwave background – the relic radiation left behind by the Big Bang points to the fact that the universe is doughnut shaped and finite .... scientists are now convinced that the universe is finite, doughnut shaped and spinning about a central axis of quantum singularity. The quantum singularity keeps the universe stable.
It is floating in the Hyperspace in the zero quantum state. Zero point energies dominate the temporal energy variations across the universe." (quote from ScienceToday)
This image by Banksy blatantly references the United States desire (and aim) to be not only in total control of our planet ( the New World order ) but to use this as a stepping stone to place themselves in the position of 'policing' the universe itself ! the US has spent alot of time and energy implanting this idea into the consciousness of our planet through the media and is most obvious when looking at films and television from yesteryear eg Star Wars, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon etc
The van in the image represents the closed and highly protected secret societies who work towards this New Universe Totalitarian State (ie the illuminarty, Skull and Bones, Bilderburg Group etc ) .. the outriders are representing the human 'slaves' indoctrinated to actually physically apply and enforce this order for these 'societies' ... and the universe (represented by the doughnut) is what these societies hold up and carry forward into the future , driven upon a vehicle under their control and in a direction of their choice!
We 'the people' are of course represented by the hundreds and thousands - note - not millions and billions as the current population stands , but the hundreds and thousands that 'they' wish to reduce the earth population down to, through pre-planned starvation and population control mechanisms, currently being implemented across the globe..
lastly (it may be worth mentioning) the whole universe is being carried forward upon the shoulders of the oil industry .. the petrol driven van .. the bikes.. the rubber tyres etc .. obviously a reference to the money and power and might of these industries and the fact that the ultimate owners of these industries are indeed the main players in the secret societies mentioned (and the ones unnamed in this explanation)
So , all you winners out there ... enjoy your print .. and remember to think its just about fat doughnut guzzling pigs is to do the artist a disservice."
