As usual, Banksy is able to stir up controversy through his imagery, this time via the opening credits for the Simpsons. Banksy  takes shots by showing “Asian” workers laboring over Simpsons merchandise, a nod to the reports stating the producers outsource a lot of the animation to a company in South Korea. You judge for yourself, either way, congrats to Banksy, a UK  artist, making his mark on the Simpsons.

Controversial Street Artist Banksy, has traveled all the way from the UK to NYC to spread a little bit of colorful love, to the grungy town. Known for his infamous ironic pieces he uses the spots of the streets to express the unspoken problems of our society. He first hits Greenwich, DUMBO, Soho, and Chinatown, check out the photos for the spots he hit up in order. Photos from High Snobiety.

It was announced this morning that Banksy’s first film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, will hit theaters in the United States beginning on Friday, April 16th in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Dates for additional cities across the country - including Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Atlanta - will be announced soon.

Over the weekend Banksy also released the official “one sheet” poster for the film. New Yorkers and street art fans will recognize the building in the image (and the street art and tags) as the iconic old bank building at Spring and Bowery in Soho.
