Guerrilla Artist Hits Paris Hilton CDs
Paris Hilton is the latest victim a British guerrilla artist known only as Banksy.
The prankster swapped 500 copies of Hilton’s new album with altered versions, hitting 48 record stores across the U.K.
According to the BBC, Banksy’s version of the disc includes his own remixes — given titles like “Why am I Famous?,” “What Have I Done?,” and “What Am I For?”.
The artist also altered the picture of Hilton on the CD’s cover to show her topless and with the head of a dog.
One thing that Banksy didn’t change, however, was the CD’s barcode, allowing customers to buy the album without noticing the switch.
Banksy’s stunts have received much media coverage in the past, especially when he snuck altered versions of classic paintings into top art galleries.
