Been meaning to post these images (click for slideshow). When I was working in Prato, Italy last week at Montezemelo offices--
Adam Samberg and SNL are the shit!
Oct 11, 2008 at 5:17 PM Saturday Night Live is back with a vengence this year. And it isn't just Tina Fey and her Sarah Palin send-ups that are working. This is classic SNL in rare form--- from the writing to the casting-- to the great musical performances. DVR time...

He's a genius. So simple. So smart. He did this "pop-up" street art installation--- which poses as a innocent pet store on 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City. It is a populist's version of Damien Hirst's exhibition at the Seagrams Building(Lever House) last year. Banks is pushing it to another level! The concept speaks for itself. And the tension of who he is, and how he pulled this off really represents what is in the air for street art....and where it can and will go.
From Banksy:
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."

"Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it" - George Orwell, -quoted in the Associated Press
Now there's something to simmer on after the ups and downs of the last two weeks and the upcoming election. I remember having to read Orwell's "Animal Farm" in eight grade. I admit I only read the Cliff's notes at the time.
