Welcome to Dismaland

[GunnyGene]

A new theme park just opened in England. A obvious take off of Disney Land. It might catch on.

But it's clearly not just Disney being criticized here. One of Banksy's new works on display, ostensibly a game, has visitors navigating boats of migrants surrounding by floating bodies. Elsewhere, artworks from Sami Musa and Amir Schiby confront the conflict in Palestine.

Behind the Ferris wheel and the high interest loan shop for kids seeking allowance advances, there's the activist corner. After taking in the art, visitors can explore geodome covered in protest posters and the anarchist bookstore, or receive advice about collective bargaining and unions. A girl with cropped hair and a defiant smirk offers tips and kits for hacking bus stop billboard displays.

I like it ..... Saw a documentary on Banksy when he was doing his NY city thing a while back and he knows how to jerk the media's chain... really hard.
