Dear Mr. Andon,
You know what, forget the lawsuit. We’re having too much fun dealing with your situation the way we already are. In fact, until you bow down to the true kings of capitalism, we are going to continue our reign of terror on your rep.
If you want to make it stop, here’s what we now want as restitution:
1) Take all the money you made of our copyrighted image and use it to create a scholarship for down-on-their-luck trust fund kids. We want to make sure the next generation of robber barons have all the opportunities their privilege entitles them to.
2) Stop wearing that mask. You ain’t hard, son. Instead, if you want to be “Mr. Monopoly” we demand you wear a monocle to every public appearance. If you are going to be a fake fuck, at least get the costume right.
3) Admit that your entire career is secretly a Banksy-created performance art piece. That’s right, the jig is up. We have it on good authority from several prominent insiders that Alec Monopoly is actually a paid actor being used to parody the kind of mindless commodification and watering down of “urban” trends that run rampant in fine-art circles. Although our intel makes us 1000% sure, obviously, we know @Banksy wont fess up. That’s why you have to.
Money isn’t everything. Using it to crush your enemies is. Until our demands are met, we’ll see you on the streets, chump.
