How about anti-Obama billboards, which moved such dignitaries as Jonah Goldberg to exegesis ("In an academic setting, one could defend at least some of the ideas captured in the billboard; Lord knows I've tried")? No? That's understandable, too.
How about those Miss Me Yet billboards? Come on, they were all over the news and still have a Wikipedia page! They're the reason Obama didn't get re-elected in an alternative universe.
How about those other times when a couple of guys put up some posters about Obama or some other Democrat and it was big news among the belligerati?
Well, guess what:
‘STENCH OF CORRUPTION': ANTI-HILLARY STREET ART HITS L.A. AHEAD OF FUNDRAISERS
Several pieces of artwork critical of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have appeared around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills ahead of a trio of pricey fundraisers the candidate will attend this week...Did you hear that? Breitbart.com says several pieces!
Of course, anti-Hillary street art is nothing new; just last month, an unknown artist posted signs all around Brooklyn that lampooned Clinton supporters for claiming certain words used to describe her were sexist.Everybody to mom's basement for the afterparty! And wait'll the sheeple get a load of the #Benghazi blimp!
Conservatives look at art (and even rudimentary communication) and they are completely baffled. Why is all the art that's acclaimed liberal? Why are all the pop groups liberal? Why can't good conservative movies like American Christmas Carol (or whatever that piece of shit was) be box office smash hits?
ReplyDeleteAnd so it goes with their "street art." Making the politics the primary message produces something that's a cross between hitting people on the head and smearing oatmeal on your own shoes: It's unpleasant for all concerned.
Suuuuuuuure. "Street art." Why, these renegade artists will be tagging train cars next.
ReplyDeleteAll them liberal doubters only be hatin' because they don't understand the nimble, conscious, youth-driven movement that is West Coast Conservatism. Why, rumor has it that Sabo might be involved in this. Oh what, don't know who Sabo is, you New York Times-reading motherfucker? He's only the mastermind behind the "Nancy Pelosi twerking" posted that destroyed the Democrats and took the pop culture by storm. Yeah, maybe you didn't hear about it, but that's only 'cuz you's a bunch of old farts who don't hang with the young OGs on Breitbart.
ReplyDeleteOkay, to keep it real, maybe that poster didn't shake up the public. But that's only the thin edge of the wedge, my man. He followed that up with a campaign to expose that liberal Hollywood phony Gwyneth Paltrow. To quote the master:
You know, it’s kind of like a double or triple entendre in that, I mean, if you listen to one of these celebrities go on, they’re like, droning on and on and on about how they love Obama or the left or the Democrats, or they drone on about how much Republicans suck, and in a way, much the way an unmanned aircraft flies through the air, these people fly through the airwaves.
Hell yeah, bro! You show them fools. Let's hit the streets with that fresh new message that actors be going to fundraisers and rallies and shit. See, we ain't just smoking those liberals, we also slamming those old fuck Republicans who spend all their time bitching about...well, also Hollywood, but they don't have the balls to...uh...
Whatever, douchebag, Breitbart knows the score. And Sabo's latest project is going to crush it. See, he's all about being timely and keeping his finger on the pulse and shit, so he be slamming Clinton with parodies of Shrek. Yeah, you busta-ass liberals think you got a lock on the streets, but now you fucking with the OGs of OC!
So wait - you're saying that a Breitbart ad disguised as a Game of Thrones poster isn't going to accomplish anything?
ReplyDeleteThat's not oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteI hope they try tagging the front of a train car while it's moving.
ReplyDeleteAt 70mph
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a train left in the U.S. that can reach 70 mph, given the general state of the tracks in this country.
ReplyDeleteYou could keep it in the bathroom, to encourage vomiting.

...another, a parody of the HBO hit Game of Thrones, reads, “All Men Must Die.”
ReplyDeleteAfter examining the grifters, god-botherers, larval facists, and fumbletongued neocalvinists that make up the GOP field, I'm beginning to think Valerie Solanas had a valid point.
All those Porter Stansberry ads almost make me miss toe fungus. He's overdue for a second round in court.
ReplyDeleteHmm, "several" "street art" posters against Clinton in L.A., and it's all being heralded by Big BreitFart.
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to think not just collusion, but that Little Ben Shapiro has been thinking, 'if Banksy can do it, so can I!'
I can't wait for him to come to the conclusion that he should be running for office, too.
And it happened in Hollywood, home of all that is liberal and yucky, so that's like a double-dog diss to the Hilldawg!
ReplyDelete"Breitbart knows the score."
ReplyDeleteWell, now that he's being sodomized in Hell by Richard Nixon, for all eternity, he does now.
Okay, okay, time to confess - which of you horrible libturds blastfaxed the brethren convincing then that a bit of piss-poor Banksy could stop Hillary from raising $ from Hollyweird and maybe even turn California red?
ReplyDeleteWho's crazy idea was that?
Why, rumor has it that Sabo might be involved in this.
ReplyDeleteThis Sabo? I thought he retired years ago.
Valerie Solanas had a valid point.
ReplyDeleteAlso.
Yeesh, now I almost feel obligated to leave my bunker & look for these posters, assuming any are left.
ReplyDeleteReactionaries have yearned to be riding the crest of a popular wave for decades, ever since Reagan. How you reconcile antediluvian views with being hip and trendy escapes me, but that's your modern troglodyte for you. Even more pathetic is their extreme willingness to pronounce themselves "all that" on the thinnest possible bases, usually some stunt performed by someone on wingnut welfare that no one else notices or cares about.
ReplyDeleteIn this case in particular, it also reflects a lack of understanding of youth and minority culture. We had this discussion in one of the other threads - the people behind these little stunts don't seem to understand why street art exists or what function it serves to underrepresented groups. It's about frustration and spontaneous expression and evading the strictures of society - things that aren't going to mean much to someone whose idea of "grassroots organizing" is sending an email to a producer at FNC.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same "unknown street artist" who Breitbart.com hired back in April and October to post in our "LA Ghetto"?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the homeys in Beverly Hills will be impressed.
Very likely. They don't have any new tricks, so they talk themselves into believing that even the idiotic old ones are worth another try.
ReplyDeleteA double maybe triple entendre of drone for drone! Ge-fucking-nius, man. And the flying monkeys(get it, she's a witch!) and "Shrew" things, however could anyone find those sexist? It is unpossible.
ReplyDeleteOh I thought it was Sabu, but he's dead.
ReplyDeleteWow! They called her a fat shrew who hates men? Thats gonna leave a mark. Guess its game over.
ReplyDeleteAs always, Poe's Law is a harsh mistress.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteMake no mistake, Obama would love to hold President George W. Bush as his prisoner and try to make him recant his faith in God on national television.
Oh, yeah, nothing says hip and trendy like Big Government's Mike Flynn:
ReplyDeleteThe right wing's idea of grassroots organizing is asking the Kochs for money.
ReplyDelete"Fake, tree-shaped car fresheners with an image of Clinton in the middle have been placed at the corners of Sunset and Amalfi, Sunset and Capri and Sunset and Allenby in the Tony Riviera section of Pacific Palisades, home to Hollywood luminaries like Ben Affleck, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks."
ReplyDeleteTwo points,
1. They trademarked the phrase "Hillary Stinks" ! ?, I guess "Hillary is a big fat poopy-head" was already taken, and;
2. If Hillary is a tree shaped car freshener wouldn't that mean that Hillary has a pine fresh scent. Will someone please tell them air fresheners are what you use to get rid of the stink and therefore not a good metaphor for "stinking corruption". They can't even get their insults right.
Just wait till the emails where she talks about what really happened to Vince Foster see the light of day.
ReplyDeleteGeorge W. Bush? Give up his faith in Money? Never! Why, George Bush is the Jan Hus of capitalism!
ReplyDeleteAlso old and wrinkly, because we all know how awful it is to be forced to look at old women.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that the Range Rovers and Mercedes zoom by those intersections so fast nobody's seeing anything posted except the Latino housemaids waiting for the Metro bus.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who's actually written about art, and politics, this is just sort of counter merchandising..
ReplyDeleteThat site looks AWESOME.

Maybe they'll make a clever joke out of her name. Like "Hitlery" or "Hildebeest."
ReplyDeleteAlas, only available to people in the US
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'd only read excepts before.
ReplyDeleteI live in Hollywood, so I'll keep my ear to the ground and see how quickly this stellar artwork brings the barristas and insane homeless junkies (that's the Hollywood I know) around to the pro-Jeb or -Carson point of view. I am sure my hood will be amped to crush minorities and trash the economy by Monday, Tuesday latest.
ReplyDeleteJust like Breitbart!
ReplyDeleteIn all fairness, the posters are actually not a nightmare. They're readable and attractive and simple--good graphic design. I'm shocked, frankly.
ReplyDelete"It's good to be here among my kind of people: The Haves and the Have Mores."
ReplyDeletePresident George W. Bush
You've been Taboola'd!
ReplyDeleteI actually decided to click on one of those Stansberry ads awhile back, and managed to get though maybe fifteen minutes before giving up. It's a recitation of vaguely ominous economic/market stuff that goes on and on and on never, ever seems to be anywhere close to getting to an actual point. Ironically (or maybe not) the target suckers for this stuff are people who believe that the horribleness of PPACA or Dodd-Frank is self-evident from that fact that they are 907 and 848 pages long.
good graphic design. I'm shocked, frankly.
ReplyDeleteEven a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while.
It's the philosophy that if you just repeat enough awful stuff for long enough, the rubes will start to believe Something Is Going On. I mean, look at all this stuff! (Otherwise known as the 9/11 Truther System)
ReplyDeleteMaybe she was concerned about weight gain and it was supposed to be "All Men Must Diet"?
ReplyDeleteThe "Stench of Corruption" air fresheners are not un-clever, esp. as compared to Sabo's clever themes:
ReplyDeletea parody of the animated film Shrek, calls Clinton “Shrew, a Jeffery Katzenberg Creation,” and another, a parody of the HBO hit Game of Thrones, reads, “All Men Must Die.”
Also:Fake, tree-shaped car fresheners with an image of Clinton in the middle have been placed at the corners of Sunset and Amalfi, Sunset and Capri and Sunset and Allenby in the Tony Riviera section of Pacific Palisades, home to Hollywood luminaries like Ben Affleck, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks.Tony Riviera? The guy w/ the rib restaurants?
When stopped at a light they're on their 'phones ignoring the outside world, also.
ReplyDeleteDamit gocart, get outta what's left in my brain before I even know it's there!
ReplyDeleteConnection?

Too bad the commenters are giving it all away.
ReplyDeleteI really is too bad that the moniker "Wanksy" is already taken.
ReplyDelete... tree-shaped car fresheners with an image of Clinton in the middle ...
ReplyDeleteThere's one in every car.
This one is short for "sad boy".
ReplyDeleteWell, that means Big BreitFart paid for them to be done professionally. And here I was hoping that Little Ben had done them himself.
ReplyDeleteit's obviously not him, because they don't look as if someone handed Windows Paint to an eight-year-old paranoid schizophrenic with religious delusions.
Yeah, because who ever heard of an extreme right-winger with an eye for graphic design?
ReplyDeleteAnd our corporate overlords tent their palms with glee.
ReplyDeleteWell, Albert Speer was sui generis.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cookbook!
ReplyDeleteHey, no fair comparing Republicans to Nazis!
ReplyDeleteBecause comparison to the Fascisti is so much more appropriate...
The text on those graphics is small and hard to read, especially from a moving vehicle.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if I saw this while driving, all I'd have time to recognize is that it's a tree shape with a woman's face on it. I would probably assume that it's an environmental message or something.
You're BOTH "out of it." His name is probably an "homage" to Samo, which was Basquiat's nom de mural when he was scribbling grafitti (sp?) around NYC in the 70s. That's right--even in guerrilla acts of transgressive art, they're second-rate morons.
ReplyDeleteThat's Moochelle Obama's plan.
ReplyDeleteIt might make sense if the fresheners were garbage-can shaped or poop shaped. Tree shaped?
ReplyDeleteSports Illustrated fascism?
ReplyDeleteAmerica tries to cover its stench.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Chief Editor Korir, of the esteemed African Press International, has those. Unfortunately, the Obama thugs' Norway branch has frozen his bank account. If you would all mail him your debit cards, it would be a tremendous blow against tyranny.
ReplyDeleteThe Batshit Craziest Read of the Day
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm taking that as a challenge.
Situationist International. DUH.
ReplyDeleteWow, they went to a lot of creative effort with this anti-Hillary campaign. Here I thought they'd just recycle their dreadful anti-Maxine Waters material.
ReplyDeleteMoney is Free Speech... Money is corruption...
ReplyDeleteIf only there were some simple rule for knowing which rule to apply to a given candidate.
Yeah, it's about as well-designed to be read from a car as those bumper stickers that have a Wall Of Text in tiny font crammed onto them. Because when you want to get your point across, you should do the equivalent of printing War and Peace on a bumper sticker.
ReplyDelete"The visual arts, how do they work?"
Hell naw, fool. It's short for "sabotage" (pronounced thusly, cause that's what he's going to do to Hitlary Cankles' Democrat campaign.
ReplyDeleteInstead of asking for a dollar, the junkies just ask, "did you hear that somebody says Hillary Clinton is corrupt?" The plan is working!
ReplyDeleteThat is, of course, insane but I -would- shell out $30 for the pay per view.
ReplyDeleteMoney to a Republican = Speech
ReplyDeleteMoney to a Democrat = Corruption
The Breitbart 'story' starts out with "Fake, tree-shaped car fresheners... " I guess because their readers can't be trusted to know that real, gigantic, tree-shaped car fresheners don't exist.
ReplyDeleteA simple rule for a simple party.
ReplyDeleteOkay. But I still get extra credit for Art History, right?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I just figure, anybody who thinks hanging giant air fresheners in LA is guerrilla art probably never heard of Basquiat.
ReplyDeleteChange the title to "Twin Towers" and I think you're on to something.
ReplyDeleteMan is THAT true. Meanwhile, is there a clip of Shatner pronouncing the combination of corn and lima beans "SOOK-uh-tosh"?
ReplyDeletewow sabo's changed alot from when i was growing up
ReplyDeleteRandom thought about the Republican presidential candidates: normally you'd have to go to an S & M club to find that many guys looking to get their asses kicked by a blonde.
ReplyDeleteFYI: I will be stealing "fumbletongued neocalvinists" in the near future. Also, "larval facists".
ReplyDeleteI confess. In my defense, I was wicked high and had just come home from my girlfriend's family BBQ. 5 hours of listening to poorly-educated honkies bitching about Cliven Bundy "pussing out" and not shooting any Feds. A man can only take so much before snapping...
ReplyDeleteThe stench of corruption is a minor problem when compared to how Hilary plans to emasculate men: with widespread application of the "genital cuff." Beware, full-blooded American males who have only brought a corked fork to battle...
ReplyDelete"Maybe SHE will give me a dollar. STOLEN FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S TAX MONEY."
ReplyDeleteNo, it's just plain "si," Italian for "yes."
ReplyDeleteOf course, anti-Hillary street art is nothing new
ReplyDeleteThose young hipsters Chuck and Dave were seen riding fixies around Williamsburg, messenger bags full of spray-cans.
I want a car-shaped tree freshener.
ReplyDeleteI can get you freshener-shaped tree cars. Have 'em in, in a couple of weeks.

"Those Are Real Trees Pull Up Pull Up"
OK, this is supposed to be one of those pine-scent car deodorizers you hang from the rearview mirror, but with Hitlery's face, right? People who have time to make the connection will be wondering 1) why anyone would hang a "stench" of anything in their car, and 2) how long before the company that makes those things files suit...
ReplyDeleteYeah, someone else's...

So, when the city takes the guerilla art down and fines the geniuses behind it, it will be just one more example of how the long, long tentacles of the Clinton Conspiracy have reached even unto city hall in order to silence dissent.

ReplyDeleteIt is indeed shocking that an international foundation would accept money from foreign countries. As any true patriot knows, the only real way to have an international charity is to restrict donations to Americans.

ReplyDeleteAnd hyperintelligent shades of the color blue.
ReplyDeleteI think anyone hanging giant air fresheners in LA is going to remind people of actual air pollution (and the people who enable it) a lot more than it will make people think of the alleged metaphorical stink of corruption from Hillary. And given that the state of California has sent people like Darrel Issa to congress, I imagine that noticing the smell of Hillary's alleged corruption will be the olfactory equivalent of smelling the scent of a not particularly dirty sock in the corner of a room that also contains four or five rotting skunks.

ReplyDeleteNO, NOT THAT STUFF, THE OTHER STUFF
THE OTHER OTHER STUFF
DAMNIT, NEVER MIND
I think probably not. During one jaunt to a local indie coffee shop, I was stuck behind someone whose body was plastered with INFOWARS.COM (Alex Jones' bullshit generator) merch, who was monologuing at a barista who looked as if she was busy figuring out how to weaponize the milk steamer.
ReplyDeleteWithhold his bottle, and W will declare jihad on Rick Perry.
ReplyDeleteWell, in comments over there we got "uglyllary", which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue; 'Jellary' which is supposed to be a portmanteau of Jeb and Hillary, and not some connection to Jell-o as I originally thought; they finally settled on 'Jailery'- geddit? geddit?
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, somewhere Sheldon Adelson is rubbing his gnarled hands together and cackling, "This time those liberals will get what's coming to 'em, hee hee!", while consultants scurry away toting satchels stuffed to overflowing with $100 bills.
ReplyDeleteAnother good excuse to feel persecuted!
ReplyDeleteWhat choice do they really have?
ReplyDeleteComing up with new, more effective ideas that replace ones that don't work would be... I don't know... what's the word... PROGRESSIVE.
Well, (oh my God) it certainly is a mirage, given that it's not real or likely to have the effect desired.
ReplyDeleteIf so, that dude's O-face is distinctly disappointing.
ReplyDeleteUh, pro tip, Mr. Mind: The "back from electrocution" bit is good, but you might want to reconsider underscoring your greater evil with "Haw Haw Heee!"
ReplyDeleteWhere? Where? I don't see color.
ReplyDeleteSasquatch Israel ... and fresh.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, how much effort could it possibly take to weaponize a milk steamer?
ReplyDeleteThat's ... not how puns work.
ReplyDeleteI know plenty of commenters have already expressed puzzlement over why these guys are equating "stench" with the air freshener itself, but ... couldn't this go beyond perplexing into backfiring? "There's a stench of corruption, and Hillary the Air Freshener is the cure." If I didn't have any of the background, that's what I might initially think when confronted with the visual. That, or "Hillary Clinton smells like Pine-Sol, the odor of grim hospices where old people wait to be death-paneled. Ideally in light birch."
ReplyDelete"how long before the company that makes those things files suit..." I get it now: the subversive thing about conservative street art is that they're going against their corporate masters.
ReplyDeleteHeh, GMTA. Got in the truck this morning, looked at the pine tree hanging from my mirror, and thought exactly that. That shape, in that context, means air freshener, not air stinker-upper, and few, I think, would make the connection the "artist" was after.

ReplyDeleteTrees cause pollution. St. Ronnie said so.
ReplyDeleteIKR? I'm a little scared of the things regardless.
ReplyDeleteWell--they ripped off someone else's graphic design, didn't they, with the air freshner?
ReplyDeleteCan you fit that on a bumper sticker? Because I think we can totally sell that to the Hillary Campaign.
ReplyDeleteRight, lookingat that picture, to the extent it makes any sense at all visually, the quick viewer is going to assume that its a pro-Hillary advertisement in which Hillary is the cure for corruption. Its just so incredibly dumb. Its a visual own goal.
ReplyDeleteAimai, have I told you lately how much I love you?
ReplyDeleteNo, but its greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThey will have to trade in the lawn car for a clown station wagon (50's vintage, of course!)....
ReplyDeleteMaking politics the primary message of art is something that the Soviets did. The right wing was always envious of the Soviet brand of authoritarianism, and much of its criticism thereof was projection.
ReplyDelete
