The world-famous prankster and stencil graffiti artist extraordinaire Banksy paid a long-overdue visit to Disneyland this past weekend, leaving a life-size replica of a hooded and shackled Guantanamo Bay "detainee" in his wake.
Complete with orange jumpsuit, the mock terror suspect stood in the enclosure containing the Thunder Mountain roller coaster for 90 minutes before being removed by mice.
Banksy's home is Bristol, England, but he travels the world leaving his pungently political graffiti, paintings, and sculpture in heavily frequented public places. Those not familiar with his work should check this profile which appeared in the May 5-19 issue of the L.A. Free Press on page 15 (PDF).
