This was on Breakfast News and DS2 and DS3 both did this involuntary recoiling in horror thing when the Tweety Pie thing was shown - was hilarious

Wow how interesting .

I do get torn about this. I mean graffitti is a crime and yet.. and yet.. some of it is so darn excellent.

I'll try to decribe:

A roundabout, with thin railings all around it.

As you drive past, the railings do a thing like a zoetrope

There are bits of black and white tape attached to the leading edge of each railing spelling out BANKSY. Well currently it spells out BANKS

But you can only read it when driving past, if you are static then the word is not apparent.

Clever clever clever.

MAy not be his work, but I liked it anyway.

Sorry for essay. Took me ages to rememeber zoetrope, so a round of applause please !!

ILikeToScareYouScareYou · 10/10/2008 10:26

clap clap clap

I didn't know they were called zoetrope's!

Tn0g · 10/10/2008 10:26

very clever

TsarChasm · 10/10/2008 10:33

That sounds brilliant. Very clever.

And yes! Well done for knowing the correct word. I didn't even know that's what those things were called. Spinney/ twirly thing with pictures in would have been my description

I was pacing up and down trying to recall the word.

Ten minutes it took.

I am v sad.
