      Firebirds Crashing?

      This is just wrong!

      http://oppositionart.com/FULL%20SCALE%20CAR%20CRASH.htm

      WTF? What is this trying to prove? It really doesn't say if it's trying to say if this is an effort to make people aware of the slow death of classic cars for good or evil.

      Not only is it an odd thing to do, it's completely inaccurate in it's design if the true goal is to "simulate a head on automobile collision" as they say.

      I guess because he uses the word "art" on the page it makes it all ok.

      Yeah, this thing's been around a while.


      Some artsy-fartsy dork in NYC or somewhere put on a skinny black outfit, grew himself a goattee, and talked someone into paying for him to smash two muscle cars together in an art gallery.

      Since everyone knows old muscle cars are all that is evil in the American landscape, this makes what he did "creative and thought-provoking" instead of stupid.

      I had seen the Firebirds, but not the Camaro and Monte.

      I'd like to build a traveling display for the summer car show circuit that slowly smashes two Priuses together.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      It's art. You obviously don't understand.


      Honestly, it sucks but I can live with this. In South/Central America, there was this "artist" that tied up a dog in the corner of a gallery and put food and water just outside of its reach. He'd leave the dog there tied up until it died. He did this to more than one dog. Gave some BS line about the struggle of the poor or some worthless nonsense. Not a single person, not even the curators of the galleries stopped him. They even defended him. What's worse, not a single visitor tried to free the dogs. Try that around me. The dog would be freed and everyone in my way would get hurt badly. The "artist" would be wise to run from me after that as well.

      Is it too harsh to suggest we find the one thing dear to these "artist" and do what we can to rip their hearts out by destroying their most prized and treasured item? There is art and then there is this. It serves no one. Hope his pecker rots off.

      Hey WS6, as for that south American "artist" with the dogs?


      If I could get ahold of him, I wouldn't put a scratch on him.

      In fact, I'd give him decent clothes, give him a bed, a sink & crapper, give him a table of great food . . . and then chain him just out of reach of the table.

      This "artist" is just a bored loser with some liberal crack heads for an audience. There is no artistic quality to this display. He didnt even do the "work" if you can call it that. LOSER.
