Petition: Permaban Rickrollers

[cmlancas]

The more time I spend on the internet, the more flabbergasted I am at what passes for amusing. I mean, someone puts a stupid slang term on an animal photo and it's high art. What a weird place.

There was an artist in Maryland and DC who was argued to the point of high art for using vaginal blood in her paintings.

You want to know something? The internet has raised the bar, imo.

Schild, I know a girl IRL who does this for a living. She's the psycho new-age hippie that everyone will learn to hate:

NSFW: This Art.

[schild]

Yes, she is a psycho cunt. Please make her stop. She's in my museums ruining my arts.

[cmlancas]

To be fair, there was an exhibit in the fifth floor of San Francisco's MoMA that was incredible even if it was female excretion art. It was tastefully well done. It was done by a woman out of New York that had African ties or something like that. It had chairs and wine bottles and blood strewn across walls with holes in them. At first I was shocked, but then I really enjoyed it.

I see what you did there.

[schild]

You know what's funny about thecuntshop.com girl?

She's a bad artist.

[cmlancas]

Sir, it is menstrual art. How the fuck could one do it well? I could possibly drown her in it and take a picture. Would that garner a "Le Art" from Haemish?

[schild]

I don't know, maybe she could like, draw. I mean shit, put some thickener in the blood and make actual paint out of it. For reals. It looks like children's art. In blood.

[Strazos]

Rickrolling s kinda funny and ironic because just lke when you click the link and get something you were not expecting, You see Rick Astley and don't expect him to sing like a black guy.


Just in case someone missed that in their Nerd Fury.

[cmlancas]

I see what you did there.

I can't find my photoshop install discs. I would be infinitely grateful if someone would tack on a text of "I see what you did there" on this photo of my cat.

[Strazos]

Dude. mspaint. Seriously.

[CmdrSlack]

I prefer this version of O RLY:

[cmlancas]

Dude. mspaint. Seriously.

I have paint. I suck with it.

"Piss Christ" and "Tale" disagree with you.

[Tale]

I what?

[Chimpy]

I see what you did there.

And in green in case you are scared of the sarchasm:



Enjoy!

Those pictures.

You sir, are a knight sent from heaven. <3

[Chimpy]

For some reason, I had a moment of inspiration :

I like the Rickroll because that song is the token Demo song for Casio Keyboards in the 80s and early 90s.

The demosong on my Casio SA-20
(not a rickroll)

Man, the 80's sucked. :P

You jackass.  I'm going to be singing this all day.

Sir, are you trying to suggest that http://icanhascheezburger.com/ is not high art? For shame.

[Nevermore]

There's too much drama in this thread!

For some reason certain songs get stuck in my head and won't go away easily.  Unfortunately, I have the urge to dance around when songs are stuck in my head.  I was once stuck in robot mode for four days after Righ played Pocket Calculator on a whim.  Tom Sawyer by Rush is another song that sticks.  He loves Rush.

She's in my museums ruining my arts.

I blame this asshole:

also this asshole:


Modern art and architecture is fucking garbage.

[schild]

Warhol and Pollack. Good call. I blamed them in college. Now I blame lesbians.

[Sky]

Don't forget the crystal-huggers centered in energy vortexes. Isn't that shit all based in AZ and NM, anyway? 

[MrHat]

So, Rickrolling is just another way to grief pic someone?  Like, you send your friend a bunch of "click me" links that lead to hot chicks, then put tubgirl in there?

[cmlancas]

Yes. But less offensive. It'd be more like putting a picture of Gollum in a dress or Condy in there instead. Rickrolling is not NSFW.

Btw, ICHC is hilarious. Thanks for sharing that with me :)


What's so wrong with Andy Warhol? I don't think Cambell's Soup is his best, but I at least like Race Riot.

[Yegolev]

I like Warhol because he was ruining things on purpose, and I appreciate that.  He makes me chuckle.

As for missing Photoshop discs, and hating MSPAINT.EXE, try Paint.NET, which is what put tophats on all of my avatars.  I actually have Photoshop CS but I use Paint.NET because of the Baby Jesus tears making spots on my clothes.

[Sky]

Warhol just made shitty prints, did a lot of drugs and conned a lot of people. You can respect that, but it doesn't make it art. Art takes artistic talent, Warhol's talent was more in the trendy bullshitting realm. I did drugs, painted shitty paintings and hung out with trendy and beautiful people, too. I'm no goddamned artist though. I guess because I never conned people. It bothers me he is considered one of the most influential artists of the last century (at least they don't say 'best'), when his talent was as a con-man.

And calling them paintings is really fucking stretching the definition. They're mostly photo prints that have been silkscreened. Race Riot? Give me a fucking break. Pick up a coffee table book and it has better photos. "Hey, if we make half the canvas blank, it'll be twice as big and worth twice as much!" Artist my anus.

Also, if you have to 'explain' your 'painting', it's not art. Art speaks for itself. Now you have toilet bowls and shit in museums. Some influence, there. Bunch of mindless twats trying to be trendy and accepting a bunch of shit as art, more money than sense. Meanwhile, incredibly talented artists can't sell for beans...and Race Riot, a silkscreen (half-canvas, even) in monotone, something I learned to do in jr high school, goes for $15M.

Seriously, fuck that asshole. I won't even address Pollack's paint dripping that an elephant could do (and does...and sells). There needs to be an art class that explains that art is about conning trendy rich people out of their money, I would've stuck with it. Instead I thought art was Leonardo and Michaelangelo and Raphael and whatnot. You, know, amazing paintings.

I see his prints as just a means toward his true work of art, which was himself as a satire of the artistic scene.  He is the pinnacle of "I'm cool because I say I am".  I give the man perhaps-undue credit when I believe he did this on purpose.  I might be way off here, but I like my mental version better, the one where Warhol is the Kaiser Soze of the art community.

It bothers me he is considered one of the most influential artists of the last century (at least they don't say 'best'), when his talent was as a con-man.

That is why he makes me chuckle.  People are still falling for his shit.  I agree with the rest of your rant as well.

To my brother's credit, he doesn't explain any of his paintings.  He will instead just ask you what you think.

[cmlancas]

I think a lot of this is delving into the post-modern condition and the question of what is postmodern art.


But if you feel that post-modern art sucks, then I suppose there's no discussion to be had.

[Yegolev]

I don't know if it sucks because I just don't get it.

[cmlancas]

Well, there is a lot of discussion in academia about what the post-modern condition truly entails. More or less it is just people living their lives and noting that things suck and there isn't too much they can do about it. See Timequake for a slap-to-the-face analysis, or more subtly (and with a better critical reception) Slaughterhouse-Five or DeLillo's White Noise.
