So I get my copies of Science magazine about a month late for some reason. Anyway, was looking at the one I got today and Banksy’s art was on the cover.

It was there because of an article titled, "Antisocial Punishment Across Societies."

They said it was from November 2007.
So I read the article and I’m not really sure how the two are related.

He is on the cover to sell the magazine.
I went to Banksy’s first ever 'show' in
london and apparently I spoke to him but
he didn’t tell me who he was. My friend is
good friends with him.

Right, because people who read Science really know about Banksy.

Well Banksy images sell well to the masses.

Science has a cover price of $10. Don’t know how much it helps. The reason it makes the cover beyond being pleasing to the eye is:
"Human behavior that would be characterized as antisocial punishment can also be called art; prosocial institutions, most notably the campaign Keep Britain Tidy, refer to Banksy’s work as vandalism."
Then the article is all game theory.
(I’m a big fucking nerd.)

The dude’s art is (in my eyes) boring, trite and shallow. But as a businessman and marketer I can only take my hat off to him. He’s got it down.
