Have you ever thought about walking into a Jewish Synagogue wearing a Swastika Armband while spewing Anti-Semitic exclamations? How about walking into a bear den wrapped in a fresh fish jacket with raspberry pants while banging some pots and pans to get their attention? In a move as bold as these examples (artistically at least), it is believed that the famous British street artist Banksy trekked down to Birmingham, Alabama to put a piece on a wall that confirms that he (or the Banksy imitator) has cojones the size of Texas. Knowing how supersized the artist’s gonads are (they clearly have to be visible from a distance, right?), let’s hope he’s not spotted before he gets a chance to jump on a plane and make a quick exit.

Let’s cross our fingers that the offended viewers that spray painted over his work don’t attempt to make life imitate his art, directed his way. As it stands now, Banksy or whoever imitated him, managed to put up one of the most powerful images I’ve ever seen, in an arena that seems to be far from accepting…Talk about walking the line!
