What's with these idiots who don't know how to pronounce his name?


Why are they following around these morons who want to pronounce it "ban-skee"?

Good question. Are they idiots, or are they wryly referencing the daily recordings by Banksy that purposely mis-pronounce his name sarcastically? Either way I think the point is to show the perspective of two pseudo-experts who think they are insiders, but really are just garden variety hangers-on.

Good points. I however don't believe they were saying the name "ironically", I really just think that is how they thought it was pronounced. Either way, framing the film around them was a bad call.

That really pissed me off, too.

THANK YOU! It's driving me nuts, too!
