Banksy Art Work Pokes Fun At Jacko

The piece by Banksy features the King Of Pop standing in the doorway of a cottage trying to coax a young boy and girl into his house with sweets.

The work - which was inspired by the classic fairytale Hansel and Gretel - is apparently a reference to the child abuse charges Jacko was acquitted of in 2005.

Banksy's latest work is going on display at a new urban London art space called Santa's Ghetto. His controversial works have attracted a large celebrity following over the past year.

The elusive artist - who began his career spray painting public walls - refuses to reveal his identity for fear of reproach from the law, as it is illegal to graffiti public property.
