Clowns, mimes, jugglers, Thomas Kinkade paintings - Which is the worst?

[GoneOffShore]

Poll question: Clowns, mimes, jugglers, Thomas Kinkade paintings - Which is the worst?

Actually there are going to be more categories than that, but in the interest of getting people to actually read the poll, I thought I'd headline the most provocative topics.

All of these are cultural phenomena that annoy the crap out of me - Well, except for the accordion players and Robb (did I spell his name right?).
I just put the accordion players in because I knew someone would complain if I didn't. Same with Robb.

So, have at it Loungers.

1. 8 views, 4 votes - should I have put Smoking, breast feeding SUV drivers

in the headline?

2. A Kinkade painting of clowns, mimes, and jugglers

Something that tacky would suck so hard it might create a black hole.

3. Oooohhhhh, nasty!!!!

I don't think it would be possible to look at something like that, especially if it was accompanied by any "music" played by Yanni.

4. If it were accompanied by Yanni, the universe would collapse on itself

out of sheer embarrassment.

10. I'm kind of loving all the Kinkade haters out there

It would seem that there are more real artists here than one would have expected.

I'll bet if this was a question over at Freep land or that other place , the Kinkade question would have gotten flamed.

11. Clowns 4 Sure!

although the others are bad, clowns are scary

:shrug:

12. I'm with you on that one

[deucemagnet]

13. I can't believe that Kinkade is getting 3x the votes of clowns & mimes combined.

Kinkade paintings are easier to ignore than either clowns or mimes. They're not as much fun to beat with a big stick, tho.

19. Ever tried passing one of those "Galleries"

Where they sell Kinkades?

There's this horrid fascination that seems to draw you in. And then your eyes start bleeding.

14. Worst of all: a clown juggling Kinkade paintings, silently. n/t

[Throd]

15. Slam poets

16. A Thomas Kinkade painting of a Weird Al video

Then you'd have all of the above rolled into one - accordion players, jugglers, mimes, clowns, and everything else!

17. Clowns...

...are ultimate EVIL...

18. Thomas Kinkaide is to painting what...

...Paris Hilton is to culture and refinement.
...ChickTracts are to literature.
...Bill O'Reilly is to journalism.
