StevaGay A catapult? Looks like a sling shot to me.

It's a slingshot

Banks strikes again!

バンクシー、あの切り刻まれた風船と女の子の絵で初めて知った。プライバシーも情報も溢れる現代に、マジョリティの主義主張に慮ることなく匿名で所在を明らかにせずゲリラ的に自由に表現するパンクな生き方がかっこいい。攻撃的なのに優しさと面白さが内包してる本質をつく違法。予定調和でない芸術。

I am very sure, it means something like: not everybody has a happy valentine

Ummmm, that's a slingshot.

So is the bloody head she is aiming at not part of it?

More colloquially known as a SLING SHOT.

Do Brits use the word slingshot for anything? Or is that strictly an Americanism for that toy? We use catapult only when talking about ancient siege engines, or as a verb.

Wait, you call those 'catapults' in the UK? We use 'slingshot' in the US.

Is the word “slingshot” for the thing she is holding just an American thing? I have never heard anyone refer to one of those as a “catapult.” Just assume American weirdness?

ranjona Long live Banksy ExitThroughTheGiftShop ❤

ok

Super!

Is the dog part of the act tho?

Striking.

Is nobody going to talk about the dog in the red dress

What the hell is this dog doing?

So no one knows what Banksy looks like?

That dog tho

Is this Banksy?

Yawn.

The novelty has really worn off.

That’s a strange looking child

Compare it to his work. It's not a Banksy.

Dog in a dress gets no mention?

The dog is more interesting

Props to the photographer for getting the dog mid dance

Banksy if Boomer-tier cringe.

More vandalism.

I didn't realize we considered property damage art. Low quality stuff indeed, must be something for the impoverished to enjoy.

Banksy has run out of ideas and is just regurgitating the same tired old memes that made him famous in order to stay relevant banksy bringoutthesamestencil
