new stunt - Guantanamo man in Disneyland, by mido on Sept 8, 2006 12:20:49 GMT 1, Family's visiting Disneyland this week saw a life-size Guantanamo bay inmate standing inside the Rocky Mountain Railroad ride at Disneyland in Anaheim California.
The sculpture, consisting of an inflatable doll dressed in an orange jumpsuit with its hands and feet manacled remained in place for one and a half hours before Disneyland's security staff shut down the ride and removed it amid fears over public safety.

ahhh, nice one Mr B  ;D
This is the sort of thing I like to see ;D
Seems like he's really trying to build up to the LA show, I wonder what it will be like? Live Rats, painted Cows & Pigs? or will he go for a more American theme  Any ideas?

gentรacardi on Sept 8, 2006 18:43:14 GMT 1, Dammit dammit dammit!!! Why must he pull a stunt in some place where we'd have to pay an admission fare to get into? Grrr... argh, it doesn't matter anyway... they've already taken the 'prisoner' away, so no upclose-and-personal banksy appreciation for me. I'm so stoked that he's finally coming to LA... can't wait for his show next week!! I hope he leaves his mark on as many walls as possible while he's here.

Artist Banksy targets Disneyland
The figure appeared in Disneyland over the weekend
A life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee has been placed in Disneyland by "guerrilla artist" Banksy.
The hooded figure was placed inside the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at the California theme park last weekend.
It is understood to have remained in place for 90 minutes before the ride was closed down and the figure removed.
A spokeswoman for Banksy said the stunt was intended to highlight the plight of terror suspects at the controversial detention centre in Cuba.
Banksy is notorious for his secretive and subversive stunts - such as sneaking doctored versions of classic paintings into major art galleries.
In 2005, he embarrassed the British Museum by planting a hoax cave painting of a man pushing a supermarket trolley, which he said went unnoticed for three days.
Last week, he smuggled 500 "alternative" versions of Paris Hilton's album into record shops around the UK.
Topless fake cover
The artist replaced Hilton's songs with his own remixes, which were given titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?
He also changed the artwork to show the US socialite topless and with a dog's head.
Banksy doctored the artwork on 500 Paris Hilton CDs
The Bristolian is most famous for his graffiti artworks, which are often created in prominent public places.
Last year, he produced nine stencil sprays on the Palestinian side of the West Bank barrier.
The satirical images showed images of life on the other side of the barrier.
One depicted a hole in the wall with an idyllic beach, while another showed a mountain landscape.
Earlier this summer, a piece of Banksy's graffiti art on a Bristol building was allowed to remain in place by the city council after the public voiced overwhelming support.
The stencilled image, which showed a naked man hanging onto a window ledge, won a 97% approval rating from residents on an internet discussion forum.
Banksy is due to hold what is billed as a "three day vandalised warehouse extravaganza" in Los Angeles this weekend.

Banksy takes the Mickey with stunt at Disneyland
Last updated at 12:41pm on 11th September 2006
Graffiti artist Banksy has struck again, this time erecting a life-size sculpture of a Guantanamo Bay inmate at Disneyland.
Families visiting the Los Angeles theme park saw a jarring figure โ dressed in an orange jumpsuit with its hands and feet manacled โ beside the Rocky Mountain Railroad ride.
Last week Banksy, who calls himself a "guerrilla artist", hit out at hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
He tampered with hundreds of her new albums in music stores, replacing her CD with his own remixes and giving the tracks titles such as Why Am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?
He also changed pictures of her on the sleeve to show her topless and with a dogโs head. His Disneyland piece was made out of an inflatable doll with a black hood.
It poked fun at the controversial detention of hundreds of terror suspects at the American naval base in Cuba.
Amnesty International has blasted the prison as a "human rights scandal".
The Disneyland sculpture remained in place for one and a half hours before it was spotted.
The ride was then shut down and the doll removed.

it'd be cool if he did this disneyland stunt after the show! ;-)
