So was Paris Hilton a successful culture hacker? I'd be very interested in an article on her strategy, assuming it consisted of more than just being in the right place at the right time - or even a piece like this one, on someone who was influenced by contact with her fame.

The porn tape that gets "accidentally" released is the perfect example of something that appears outside the mainstream but actually very mainstream. Guerrilla marketing is culture hacking? I don't think so. It's advertising. Watch the second film mentioned here called "Bomb It." It's clear what everyone thinks about putting the art in galleries and selling it for big money. The power is lost and it become sterile out of context. Banksy leaves me feeling empty, like Paris Hilton. There's no there there.
