Pet peeve

World renowned outlaw graffiti artist Banksy is turning heads once again in the streets of New York with his "The Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill" installation on Seventh Ave. An example below:



Banksy's outlook on society and culture has moved from his usual spray&stenciled protests in the streets to a faux pet store in Greenwich Village, where you can view chicken nuggets eating BBQ sauce, a monkey watching primate pornography, or a CCTV camera nursing and "watching" its baby CCTV camera pups. without outlandish signage, heavy publicity, or an entry fee, the installation will amuse and provoke passers-by until what I assume to be Bansky's favorite holiday arrives: Halloween.

You've never seen pets like these!
