Banksy Tags Simpsons

Banksy was invited to do the storyboard for an episode of The Simpsons entitled MoneyBart, screened yesterday on US TV and to be shown in the UK on Thursday 21 October on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1 at 19.30 BST. The above screenshot shows the graffiti artist's tag on a billboard in Springfield, the Simpsons' home town. The controversial closing sequence mocks The Simpsons merchandising with images of Chinese sweatshop workers producing dolls and DVDs (the panda is a dead giveaway).
