Banksy Goes To Springfield

When I found out that English graffiti artist Banksy was doing the pre title sequence to Sunday's Simpsons episode I thought it was going to be a typically lame celebrity cameo or something. It wasn't.

Hmmm I thought this vid would be safe because I cut and paste it from Banksy's youtube channel. However after I went to bed Fox initiated a breach of copyright claim. The best I can do for now is a kid who taped it off his TV here.

Wednesday update - the YouTube seems to be working again. Does that mean Fox's copyright claim failed?

MORE ABOUT ME:

I'm an author with The Story Factory. My literary and film agent is Shane Salerno.

I was born and grew up in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. After studying philosophy at Oxford University I emigrated to New York City where I lived in Harlem for 7 years working in bars, bookstores, building sites. In 2001 I moved to Denver, Colorado where I taught high school English and started writing fiction. I lived in Oz for 10 years from 2008 - 2018 in the beautiful suburb of St Kilda. In 2019 I moved back to NYC.

My first full length novel Dead I Well May Be was shortlisted for the 2004 Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award, was optioned by Universal Pictures and appeared on several best of the year lists.

I'm probably best known for my Sean Duffy series of detective novel set in Belfast during the Troubles. Those books have won the Edgar Award, Ned Kelly Award, Barry Award, Anthony Award, Audie Award etc.

I have a new standalone coming out in 2019 called The Chain...
