The new Banksy Installation, a sort of anti-theme park in Weston-Super-Mare

Who knew that Weston-Super-Mud could get any more dismal than it already is :P :? :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It has got very run down over the past couple of decades, maybe this will bring in some interest to help regenerate it?

I do not quite get it.

And I would not call it art.

I saw it the other day on Tv; some of it's certainly clever, but I wouldn't want to go, it really is pretty miserable!

When you go on holiday, or go out for a day trip, you want to be entertained and uplifted, not depressed. So no matter how "clever" this so-called attraction is, it does make you wonder what sort of people would want to go and see it.

<muses> Perhaps they are all Aston Villa fans ......
