I just went over there on my lunch break (got five guys...yea!) and it most certainly didn't suck. the hot dogs were really cool, the fish sticks actually moved kinda real, but coolest of all was the monkey watching monkey porn! i recommend.

What's with the "Caddyshack" reference to the Baby Ruth bar in the pool? Oh, wait, those are fish sticks.

I like how this is a very obscure art installation. I don't like how it sucks. C'mon banksy, you are really starting to suck. Can you jump the shark in the art world? or because it's art is jumping the shark post ironic and then therfore more arty?

Itis a commentary on how much meat is processed beyond recognition- salamis, hot dogs, chicken and fish nuggets. We need to back to days of grilling up bloody meat, pulling the feathers from live chickens and tasty rabbits. The monkey porn has thrown me for a loop.

No. It's a commentary on the commentary on how fucked up the whole factory-farming industry and meat-eating society is. This is interesting while it was devoid of meaning and completely asinine. Now it's just stupid. The true artist is the one feasting on chicken nuggets outside the store.

It appears that this might be commentary on how fucked up the whole factory-farming industry and meat-eating society is. At least I hope. If so, cheers!!

I do like those fish sticks in the fish bowl, but they also remind me of mozarella sticks.
