This man asks his wife:

How long would it take to travel 80 miles if I’m driving 80 miles per hour.

Listen to her math and reasoning..

Like I said earlier, I fucking hate people.

This guy is kind of a douche. Either this is scripted, or he is an asshole for making this video.

Not cool dude. I am also sad at her confusion, but I am more pissed at his assholery.

What an asshole

I’m apparently the only one that thinks idiocy shouldn’t be placated.  He didn’t trick her with a question about quantum physics for fucks sake. 

Holy fucking retard batman.

Dance, dance, dance

Bathroom Graffiti Critique of the Day: A random tag in the bathroom of an art co-op elicits precisely the sort of response you’d expect. (Embiggen.)

[reddit.]

I have a problem with the title on this, especially coming from an art co-op. Condescending a non-traditional artform? Why, because that person isn’t a pompous fuck who spends a shit ton on supplies and kisses co-op ass? It could’ve been some idiot scratching a dick joke on the wall, but instead they got a pretty sweet handstyle tag that reminds me of Islamic calligraphy. So, really, they can shove that title card up their tight asshole.

True the tagged did create something that was not there previously. But this is a base form of creativity, like me saying I am creative when I piss. Yeah, I created water.

I think the critique writer probably meant, ‘I lack innovation’ and this would be spot on. I mean I’m all for minimal supplies, look what Picasso did with an art marker. But this is nothing new, nor particularly inspired. The medium, context/placement and style are all derivative and do nothing to provoke thought. Before I get tagged troll, I’ll say graffiti and street art are most definitely legit art forms. This tag is just a poor example of either. At least the “docent” showed the wit to bring a gallery practice to a new place.

1. To say this is a base form of “innovation” shows an extreme ignorance of street art. This is called handstyling, and while it may be a bit toy (possibly due to being rushed) it’s not easy to do. I have ten years of formal art training and two portfolios worth of work and I can’t do a good sig handstyle.

2. Duchamp signed toilets. To say placement invalidates an artform is pretty much the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, not to mention disregarding of most street art.

3. All art is derivative. All of it. To say valid art is only the uniquely innovative rules out everything but archaic fucking cave paintings (which, technically, was graffiti).

Saying this tag lacks innovation doesn’t logically equal my ignorance about street art, but thanks for the assumption. In fact, my knowledge of street art is what leads me to this conclusion. Handstyling is difficult but so is writing a fugue. The thing about fugues is, no one writes them en masse anymore because they lack any sort of innovation. That and they’re boring for us to listen to given the type of music to which we have all become accustomed. And before you call me musically challenged, I enjoy a good fugue as much as the next classical music aficionado but I haven’t heard one by a new artist that I would call innovative.

Your comment about Duchamp just proves my point. I said there was nothing innovative about the placement, this is exactly what I meant. Duchamp did this years ago. Creative placement is as much a part of a street art piece as the content of the piece itself. Case in point are banksy’s museum pieces, genius placement.

And I am not calling this work derivative, I’m calling it a blatant copy. More akin to museum shop poster than an original piece of art. Derivation assumes something is a slight deviation from a previous collective pool. This changes nothing, style, medium, placement nor content. Thus, my opinion, lacking innovation. Thanks for the ad hominem arguments.

Does anyone else out there ever want to sign a contract G. F. Yourself?

I’d love to have that guy employed at my company for times such as now. The legal department of an investment just asked us to sign a non-disclosure to receive documents detailing the financial performance of said venture. Not that this part is the real issue, the big problem is the managers’ desire to indemnify themselves against release of this info to other, previous investors.

“WTF?! You guys didn’t do a fantastic job of dealing with these people and now you’d like me to agree to pay you for your troubles if one of these disgruntled individuals should get ahold of info that confirms they were fucked? “
