Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't think the original poster is taking any credit for what is shown in the picture, in fact he doesn't even claim credit for taking the snap itself (but I'm pretty sure he did) and a third party has verified that this indeed happened, unless someone was just waving a cd with a doctored photoshop image on it (with loads of pixels) in front of his eyes.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 It's probably the same studenty types who staged a not very impressive anti-war protest by sitting on the pavement and playing Risk when the Gordon Highlanders were being given the freedom of the city.

Teabags Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah, I can totally see the similarity between "Ministry of Death MOD" and a 6 foot high dual colour stencil of two coppers kissing. or between "Death R US" and a 20 foot long apache attack helicopter with a pink ribbon tied round the blades.

KimyReizeger Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 you think so? i really thought it took great influence from banksy's work.A statement like that would suggest that you identify genuine artistic talent or political reasoning behind this 'work'?

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Personally, I still think my picture is more expressive of the feelings and passion many of us have when we think about military service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
