Gauguin, What a Perv

See the boobs? Gauguin, you skank

S

So I'm back, feeling better, still a bit tired, but what's new about that AAAAAAND there is a funny (sort of) story. Apparently some old lady, (only 53 so not that old, sorry mom) tried to destroy a gorgeous Gauguin last week at the national gallery. According to someone else's sources, the woman began pounding on the protective plexi shield over the painting and tore it from the way. The painting was not damaged and the woman was apprehended. So that part isn't that insane. Actually I seem to recall some crazy man doing something like that here in Milwaukee to a less-important painting...however he actually kick a hole in it. We go all the way in Milwaukee.

The story goes on, however, to a brief statement by the lady, "I feel that Gauguin is evil. He has nudity and is bad for the children. He has two women in the painting and it's very homosexual. I was trying to remove it. I think it should be burned." Someone get this lady an art review job! Wonderful description, spot on analysis, and completely PC. BUT WAIT! there's more. "I am from the American CIA and I have a radio in my head. I am going to kill you." Wait a second, I won't trust you to read that again so here it is, "I am from the American CIA and I have a radio in my head. I am going to kill you." Simply awesome. That's always the first thing I hope to here in any situation. While I don't like to laugh at the unfortunate circumstances of others, this is a gem. Why this isn't the headline is beyond me. My new artistic goal is to offend someone so wholeheartedly that something to this affect is said, and if crazy-museum-goers in the future are as easily offended as this person, I should have a pretty easy time. 


Let's just hope she never gets her eyes on some of the more "indecent" Picasso's or we might have a real situation on our hands.
