Excerpt:
Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
What a fucking idiot. He / she could have sued them if he felt aggrieved instead of encouraging people to commit crimes.
Yet companies stealing people’s art and selling it for a profit doesn’t seem to bother you.
Did I say that? Or did you just jump to that conclusion?
You’re more upset by shoplifting than by the unethical theft and exploitation of someone else’s artistic work, so yes, you did say that.
You seem to be making things up again. 😥
I don’t like people breaking the law, and I said I don’t think it was a good idea to encourage law breaking. Where in that did you take it to understand that I support theft or exploitation of artwork?
But where’s the fun in that?
Sure! If you’re a clown 🤡.
Why is there a shoplifting community on here 😂
Because there are shops out there.
The people that will be affected most are the front line staff who is already working on minimum wages…not the multinational corp
They won’t, they are encouraged to let the shoplifters shoplift, because it’s just collateral.
