Paris Hilton 'punked' by Banksy

Paris Hilton's album "Paris" has only sold 75,000 copies in its first week on the shelves and British guerrilla artist Banksy decided to add insult to injury.

Banksy managed to tamper with 500 copies of "Paris," changing out the sleeve photos and text and replacing her CD with a "remix," which he then put into circulation on shelves at 48 record stores across Britain where they might be purchased, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

In the altered photo, Hilton's head appears on top of a mannequin body above the words "Thou shalt not worship false idols."

"Life wasn't meant to be fair" also appears next to another photo of Hilton and a sticker on the front of the album previews several fictional songs, "Why Am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?" Banksy also got help from Danger Mouse, the producer behind Gnarls Barkley, for a 40-minute "remix" of "Paris."

Banksy is known for his use of stenciled graffiti critiquing pollution, police brutality and pro-war political policies.
