Banksy Santas Ghetto Christ Shopping

Banksy – Christ with Shopping Bags

Santa’s Ghetto store, Banksy Christ and shopping.  “The Ghetto is partly a shameless commercial enterprise, and partly about promoting art. But basically it is a piss_take on Christmas…it’s also a great place to buy presents” said Banksy in the Independent.

The articles on sale range from forty odd quid screen prints and five pound stickers to the four figure bracket. It’s either ridiculously cheap or ridiculously expensive depending on where you are coming from. But remember, you don’t have to buy any of it.

I’ve got more of a problem with the fukker who went in and bought a load of stuff on the opening day and then slapped it on Ebay within 24 hours at three times the price….
