dolphin

British graffiti artist and political activist Banksy has created an anti-BP statement where you’d least expect one, both ordinarily and for Banksy. A coin-operated Dolphin kiddie ride adorned with a fishing net jumps over a leaking BP oil barrel in Brighton, England. Two girls seen in a video riding the dolphin don’t pay any attention to the subliminal messaging, even as someone who seems to be their mother snaps a photo of them and the dolphin on her cell phone. Perhaps that’s the point, to make people take a second look when there seems to be something weird with the dolphin. Banksy (who’s true identity is still unknown) has been known for environmental commentary through his art, but this veers from his traditional style of urban graffiti.
