A painting of a merry go round isn't an interactive, cheeky comment on modern theme parks

His 2D theme park
Says more than Banksy has ever said or ever will. That's a truly great painting right there.
And if he hates being the darling of the world art establishment, as you suspect, why doesn't he hang up his fucking stencil.

Why should he quit a well paying job making vaguely funny pictures and stuff?
There are worse cartoonists out there

Cartoonists don't have pretensions.
They're good at what they do and rightly proud of it. Banksy - I'm sorry to spoil your illusions about what a good bloke he is - thinks, or has been convinced, that he's fucking Hogarth. When in fact he's got less talent than a gluer-sniffer and his CDC.
