Paris Hilton had enough trouble moving units of her debut album, Paris, and a prank by Banksy wouldn't help the cause... or would it? During the first week of the album release, Hilton became the target of Banksy's latest prank-work. Banksy replaced the singer's CD with an alternate version featuring remixes produced by himself and Danger Mouse. The tracklist featured satire song titles such as, "Why am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"
Keeping with his visual forte, the Bristol artist also changed the CD booklet to display pictures of the singer topless. Another version showed her with a dog's head. What made this prank go over so smoothly was the fact that he left the barcode, allowing the fakes to be sold. Hundreds of CDs were altered in cities such as Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Glasgow and of course London.
