In August/September 2006, Banksy replaced 500 copies of Paris Hilton's debut album in 48 different UK record stores with his own parodical remixes and cover art. Music tracks were given titles such as "Why am I Famous?", "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?" The cover art depicted Paris Hilton digitally altered to appear topless. Other pictures feature her with a dog's head replacing her own, and one of her stepping out of a luxury car, edited to include a group of homeless people, this include the caption "90% of success is just showing up."

Shop-dropping is all the rage. (droplifters had no bar codes)

My favorite is Bric-a-brac placed at Walmart with no valid UPC. http://centennialsociety.com/bricabrac.html

What did they do with all the real copies? Did they buy them up or steal them?

This kind of thing should be encouraged.

My impression, sly, was that Banksy bought one copy himself at the beginning, made the 500 altered copies and *added* those to the stores, not switched them out.
They have got to be all over eBay by now.
