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

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

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.

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.

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

Santas Ghetto = Bethlehem, by insite on Dec 3, 2007 9:55:02 GMT 1, Just saw all this on the BBC breakfast news, there's 5 or 6 new pieces on the wall as well as the Ghetto.
How cool is this, nice one Banksy and POW.

i dont nessacarily think that announcing it on the boards the day before reading it in the nationals would have detracted from the message though pez, do you?

Personally I think that Banksy or POW does owe you or me or this board a shit. I think is the other way around. Just enjoy being part of this mind-blowing journey.
