I don't really know how to introduce this

[Jeff Lebowski]

Did you see the official title of the painting? "One Nation Under Socialism"

[hostile]

I saw this posted on Facebook over the weekend and my first reaction was to share it here. My theory is that if you're going to put this kind of crap on Facebook, you have to accept any and all pushback that comes.

Can you imagine being in McNaught's Elder's quorum? I'd troll that EVERY Sunday!

You should take a picture of you burning the painting of Obama burning the constitution and post that on facebook.

This work cries out for inclusion in the online Museum of Bad Art. (Look it up - some outstanding efforts therein).

For some reason this discussion reminds me of visiting my grandma, whose house was about 2 miles from Disneyland. She had nude paintings all over the house, really well put together models, blondes, brunettes, all with remarkable posture and abundant child bearing potential. Majestic.

Anyway, one summer the neighbors came down to Disneyland while we were at grandma's, and we invited them over. As a 12 year old, I invited 10 year old Mike to tour the house with me, show the collection.

"You have the coolest grandma anyone could ever have."

The artist my grandma was enamored with was lost at sea for 2 months on his sailboat, his hair went white and he became a religious fundamentalist after being rescued.

After that, he wouldn't paint nudes anymore and my grandma tried to buy up all his work she didn't already own.

As for this painting, it's like a 3 hour Glenn Beck show condensed into 5 minutes of vomit. If a picture is worth a 1000 words, I'll take one of the nudes over this, any day.

Jesus holding the Constitution in front of the Great and Spacious Building (the Supreme Court) is still the best.

This is even better than the painting!

I've been to the MOBA. Take a look at the pictures online. They are laughably horrendous. But to see them in person elevates their horrendousness to a new level.

That is pure awesomeness. McNaughton is so subtle with his messaging I would expect no less with his brainstorming session.

I'm a former patron of MOBA. Among my favorites was a pointillist-style painting of a guy apparently taking a crap, lovingly entitled by the MOBA curators as "Sunday on the Pot with George."

Awesome. Reminds me of the guys I used to sit by in my old job.

That is a good one. But for my part, the first one of the collection is still the best.



I suppose McNaughton is a better painter than those exhibited at the MOBA. But I'd rather have this on my wall than his stuff.

No kidding. It's just like those guys that insist that if Obama is elected, it is only a matter of time until Iran blows up a nuclear bomb on US soil.

Zing!

Speaking of bad art...

This disturbing work "makes an offer you can't refuse". The chilling, matter-of-fact manner in which the subject presents the severed head to us is a poignant reminder of just how numb we have become. The understated violence implicit in the scene speaks volumes on our own desensitization, our society's reflexive use of force, and the artist's inability to deal with the hindquarters of the animal.
