No it's not Banksy, it looks nothing like a Banksy, this was seen under Wandsworth Town (London, UK) train station a couple of years ago. circa summer 2006.

Ironic that it's selling me on the joy of not being sold anything.

phobie says:

Good stuff, I think I remember seeing this in Wandsworth actually, on the way to school!

Either that or someone showed me a picture of it ;)

almost wandsworth - that was the view from my window in the london bridge days. good times. funny how often it's crept up on the internet. simple is always best i guess.

it would be far cooler if it was not by Banksy, and rather by some random person.

@tha_contrarian

it means selling in a capitalistic sense, obviously. i hope you were joking.

Actually, I prefer someone to offer me something. I'm smart enough to know whether I want it or not. More information and more choices for you = better....don't let them tell you any different!

hbl says:

of course it's not banksy. this is some clever adbusters reading anti-commecial layabout with a spray can.

there are some well to do adbusters in bristol who constantly slogan the billboards by temple meads. When clearchannel (yeah, they invaded the UK) took down the boards to replace them, they just posted a slogan on the wall to the effect of "about fucking time" but the boards reappeared the following week.

This ad is not done very well. Really if you cannot do it right do not do it. I say this is crap and it is crapping up the place worse than a regular ad.

ericanderton says:

*sigh* My first reaction was:

"I don't get it - it's some kind of guerilla marketing thing, but I dunno what they're trying to sell. Man that's ironic."

Then it hit me that it's nothing more than what it is. That said, it really does make me feel nice. Bravo.

Amazing. So amazing.

We're not being sold anything. We're not being sold an idea, either. We're being GIVEN an idea. A beautiful idea to share with others. No Ads.
