I don't understand the whole Banksy thing. It just seems so, so pretentious, particularly the "we don't know who he is" farce. Seriously, in this day and age?

So if it was made years ago, and no one knew about it, where did it get it's power from?

Banksy posted a video of it being made. He says he put it in in case it was ever auctioned. It is believed it was activated by someone he sent to the auction using a mobile phone.

I don't believe for a minute that an auction house of that nature would expose themselves to this sort of publicity, they weren't even sure of the legal status of the bid once the item was snafu'd
