Banksy's Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill

Last night I checked out Banksy's installation, the Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill.  It's an art piece that comments on pets and factory farms, and it features some very well done animatronic characters.  They had little McNuggets feeding and bobbing up and down, swimming fish sticks, and a cheetah in the window that, well, you'll have to see for yourself.  More info here, and comments from Banksy here.  I definitely recommend checking this out in person, but if you can't make it to NYC before halloween when the store closes, more detailed videos are available here. Below are some crappy cameraphone pictures I took, and here's a youtube overview:
