[KurtNYC]

2. Are they sure that is his? Doesn't seem pink enough

[BurtWorm]

3. If only Matisse were still alive to give teleflora his vision of Christmas

in plastic. If only Marcel DuChamps were still here.

Thank you for sharing that awe-inspiring pile of art, crispini. :wow:

5. We are SOOOOO Lost!

I wonder how many of those things they will sell, while our forests and lakes are devestated by the corporatocracy.

[Coventina]

6. I wonder what Clement Greenberg would have to say

about our friend Thomas Kinkade(trademark)?

7. Ooh that was the first thing I saw when I brought up Yahoo. this

morning, big banner ad over my log in


EWWWWWWWW

[flygal]

9. Oh he is just ...... words fail me

I remember NPR did a story on the town in CA modeled after his paintings and the reporter pretty much sounded nauseous the entire segment. His work reminds me of little old ladies with candy dishes on doilies and Jesus art all over the house :puke:

[prole_for_peace]

10. I do NOT like Thomas Kinkade...

The people I work with ohh and ahh over his stuff. It is "art" for people who like to pretend they like "art".

[Coventina]

11. Have them read the excellent essay "Avant-Garde and Kitsch"

by Clement Greenberg.

[Debbi801]

13. Oooh, and you can enter to win a contest and meet him too...

:puke:

Does anyone seriously buy his stuff? Is there anything his name isn't on?

Gross.

[crispini]

15. No WAY! I missed that.

Where's the contest? I HAVE to enter and get the chance to tell Mr. Kinkade about my undying worship of his fine art! :loveya:







Ok, now I feel sick. :puke:

[motely36]

16. Cool! I can win a trip to meet Thomas Kincade

Then can tell him what a no-talent asswhore I think he is!

[GOPisEvil]

17. Oh, good grief! I just ate!

[Lady Effingbroke]

18. Official Thomas Kinkaide™ TP!

A couple more...

[AlCzervik]

19. I'm going to put that in the crapper along side

the glade Thomas Kincaid candle.
