It's crazy how critiques of commodification and consumerism almost always become commodified.

IMO Banksy's art loses it's meaning now that it's being sold and mass produced. A huge part of the art was it's form. The art is subversive and anti-establishment. It was best when it was graffiti - an illegal art form that was free for everyone to enjoy.

I suppose it's still possible this may end up being some elaborate art piece, but I'm not sure how.
