"We are AK47. We have captured Rodin's Drinker - a conceptual statue by art terrorist Banksy. Is it art or is it kidnap?"

Banksy's back in the news and now it's because of something that's been done to his artwork. It's been stolen... or "kidnapped" since the sculpture is a copy of Rodin's Thinker and the nappers have it blindfolded. This is just too funny.

Banksy's also been in the news recently for placing a dead rat in a display box inside the Natural History Museum wearing rat-sized sunglasses with a rat-sized spraycan with the following display text:

"Attributed to an increase in junk food waste, ambient radiation and hardcore urban rap music these creatures have evolved at an unprecedented rate."
