Banksy's Christmas Wish Granted, by NoLionsInEngland on Dec 27, 2006 20:12:01 GMT 1, Remember Banksy's concern about Christmas becoming increasingly un-commercialised and more and more about religon?
Well boy his wish was granted, the venue for Santa's Ghetto has immediately turned into one of those pile-em-high-rip-em-off joints with a barker up on a podium and a crowd of stooges waving their hands and clammouring to buy consumer products from brand names such as Tosheeba, Sonee, and addadaz. Don't worry, everyfings guaranteed mate, take the product to any legitimate dealer.
And they even still have the SG sign in the window, Banksy - your dream is fulfilled!!!!!!!

I am completely with you on this but that of course is what a philistine would say about people buying from POW and the Ghetto!!
I thought they woud have at least taken the Ghetto sign with them as it was also used last year as far as I can remember

but its incredible what these people do, they set up a stall and make it look like they are selling goods which have "fallen off the back of a truck" and everyone is thinking they will get an ipod for £50.
They have staff in the crowd making it look genuine.
Con con con - people walk out with rubbish goods they dont even want.
I have been in before but left after 5 minutes - DONT GO
