Much like with CAD (and friends) mock threads, there is only so much good jokes you can make about a medium that is by design repetitive and obviously flawed.

visceril posted:This is how you fix the thread: zoux posted:It's like how the CD Movie Posters thread gets all mad at new posters of old school movies, which are made for fans of the movies who have seen them a hundred times, and not an intellectual exercise where we pretend the latest Mondo poster is actually going to be used to promote the Ghostbusters and that millions of fans will be utterly confused by an inside baseball reference because they haven't seen the movie yet.  and it is bad and should be somewhat more related to the film itself, rather than just play with the title.

Settled for $20k, and the leaking of that settlement is the only reason we know about it. Unfortunately he cannot be sent to jail for his most heinous crime, which is "being James O'Keefe", but he'd probably rather go to jail then have people not talk about him so let's not talk about him.

so i read perlstein's trilogy, fear and loathing campaign trail 72 and nixon agonistes, which was really great. i need to reread some of the later parts because it was a little over my head but the chapters about nixon and eisenhower's relationship were great (especially the duel of the checkers speech) and the parts about what an american presidential election even means really make u think. he explains that say you have ten issues that you care about, you have a candidate that agrees with four of them, or maybe just two of them but they are very important to you, or maybe his opponent strongly takes the opposite stance on one of your important issues, and in the end after every voter makes these judgments while casting their vote then what kind of mandate does a president really even have? anyway i still want to know more what do i read

R. Mute posted:does the quality of the art matter? No but the subjective nature of art means it should be left out of spheres that are meant for everyone to enjoy. I think the artist's statement is more contingent on the location rather than the content or style of her art. She's trolling basically. America has a unique relationship with the national park system and it's one of the few things in the US that is still cool and good so I'd like to see it remained unfuckedwith.

Wait is the "it" in "it should be left out of spheres that are meant for everyone to enjoy" supposed to be "art"? As in "art should be left out of spheres that are meant for everyone to enjoy"?

Nobody should enjoy anything, because enjoyment leads to fandom and we all know how that turns out.

Trolling and should be incarcerated for defiling Federal property in addition to trespassing along with some other charges I'm sure could be tacked on. She deserves to be locked up for what she did, if only to send a message that it is unacceptable to grafitti national parks.

Duchamp was pretty insistent on the fountain not being art until he realized how much money he could make.
