Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.
These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone. Artist to the B ship, please! |

Okay, okay. You all are laughing now, but you just wait. You're going to have to live without seeing things like a crucifix submerged in urine, or some chick shoot a banana out of her vag. THEN, you'll appreciate artists.

Art. There's this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/John_William_Waterhouse_The_Lady_of_Shalott.jpg/1020px-John_William_Waterhouse_The_Lady_of_Shalott.jpg and then there's this: https://uploads2.wikiart.org/images/piero-manzoni/artist-s-shit-1961.jpg View Quote Ugh. What's the difference? They're both shit. At least the second one admits it's shit. |

Which artists? Artists, entertainment artists, context man!
Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave... |

Don't forget all those Hollywood artists too who think we listen to and care about them.

You are aware that that is a snarky condemnation of America? I don't read this crap before I post it View Quote He intends it to be. Where he makes his mistake is in his implicit assumption that the arts should be important to the majority of Americans. Art is inevitable...which is what makes artists unessential. The fool fails to realize that. |

Back in my younger days, there was an old codger at a place I worked, who liked to drop an occasional pearl of wisdom to the younger employees.
One of those was "Never give management a solid opportunity to see just what they have to do to get by without you." |

i kind of like the simplicity of richard serra's architecture but he's clearly just got too much time and money on his hands and not too much inspiration. cindy sherman's work is dog shit.

I read your thread title too quickly, and I got;
Trump orders Inauguration Day, airstrike on artists." |

Well I guess you are only punishing the cultured Hillary supporters with your strike, not only did they loose the election they will be deprived of your edgy statements on the human condition or some such tripe. I'm waiting for all these Hillary shill celebs to strike next because I won't miss Miley Cyrus's farting in the microphone or Seth Meyer's asinine banter either.

No new modern art?
No new Hollywood propaganda? No new retarded pop music? The Horror! |
|
Some of them are artists but all of them are bullshit artists

I'll look at my '22 "House of Art" Maxfield Parrish prints and feel good about it

Ummm, Don't you have to have a JOB, or actually WORK , to go on strike ? ? ?

|
|

If this infects attractive female pornhub performers I will NOT consider it winning .

I am broken heart by this news; really, I am broken hearted. Okay, honestly, I am broken hearted.

This. Artists go on strike? The only thing it will accomplish is to maybe show them the difference between things that are expendible and things that aren't. I think they'll be surprised when they realize which side of that isle they are actually on. i admire good art as much as the next guy. But art is a luxury. View Quote You can get reproductions that are nice and affordable. I have a degas and a Salvador Dali. Also icons. |

They call them starving artists for a reason. I say, LET THEM STARVE!

Just more fear and hate mongering from our friends on the left. They were however kind enough to ask me to complete a survey for feedback. I left them this:
"I am deeply disturbed by the rhetoric espouged by some of your authors. It makes little use of facts and largely caters to fear and hate mongering. The news media should be fact based and objective instead of focusing on political hit pieces. If the Guardian continues this trend it will consign itself to being fake news like many other MSM outlets." |

Unfortunately, it'll be just like their promises to move to Canada, all talk and no action. Bunch of pussies.

Outstanding!
Hopefully this will include that crazy feminist "artist" who paints with her menstrual flow. |
|
These pathetic elitists just cant help dig themselves into an ever larger hole in the ground, I'll gladly lend them the shovel
|
|
Each and every one of them are welcome to eat my ass like a breakfast buffet.
|
