The Punking Of Paris Hilton: Prank by Banksy. With the help of Danger Mouse, they created 500 CDs containing a 40-minute remix. The 500 CDs were then replaced with Paris Hilton's album in 42 music stores.
The mysterious graffiti commando and social satirist (who does not reveal his name or show his face in photographs) tampered with 500 copies of Hilton's album, altering its sleeve photos and text and replacing her CD with a 'remix.' Then he surreptitiously put them into circulation, slipping the discs onto shelves at 48 record stores across Britain where shoppers might purchase them, unaware they were part of the joke.
