Banksy Takes on Michael Jackson

British graffiti artist Banksy unveiled his most recent piece and, as usual, the media drooled all over it. Banksy’s latest target: child lover and protector, Michael Jackson. The creation featured Jackson in a Christmas-themed scene inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel.
Jackson is seen trying to coax a little girl and a boy with a sweet in one of four works displayed in Santa’s Ghetto, an amusement arcade that opens in Central London.

The 3,000sq ft space showcases the best in graffiti, art and sculpture from around the world. There is also a chance to win works of art by playing fairground attractions.

“I felt the spirit of Christmas was being lost,” Banksy said. “It was becoming increasingly un-commercialized and more and more.”
Although one would assume this Banksy’s attempt to rip off his clients for a quick buck, the Santa’s Ghetto project may actually do some good; the gallery will be open for 23 days, offering affordable art to consumers.
