Artists pimps random cars at night with fantastic results

last time i claybarred, polished, waxed and detailed my car it took about ten hours of manual labour. no power tools just elbow grease and love. then some twatty hipster thinks he's gonna stick his grubby mits, let alone fucking tape and cardboard all over my love, my dove, my undefiled? i don't think so.
i have never seen a situation in my life where stabbing someone would be more appropriate.

Sorry to hear about your small penis :(
 
It's kind of funny in a 'traffic cone on statues' way, but I'm not having it called art.
Picasso was an artist. Rodin was an artist...

this is more Jeremy Beadle than Rolf Harris.

I'd say it's more Duchamp. Shifting the manifestation of the art from the craft to intellectual interpretation.

Illustrating how people can fetishize intermediate objects to such a degree that one spends, let's say, ten hours, buffing, polishing and servicing that ideal form. An ideal where form exists on a separate level from the original function.

We see the artist challenging these ideal head on. In parodying the elements of form over function we see a revealing how the motor car has morphed from a tool of personal freedom to a high maintenance mistress.

Or maybe they are just taking the piss.

And I sincerely hope you'd get fucking arrested and fucking locked away for a fucking long time.

It's stuck on with bits of tape. Takes seconds to remove.

Depends what tape it is, gaffer tape for example will damage the paint work.... (although granted it doesn't look like gaffer tape).


Although I think calling the person doing this an "artist" is a bit of a stretch
 
You can tell that it's that piss-weak paper tape.

Yeah I thought so..... but you can get white gaffer tape, and I was surprised masking tape is strong enough to hold it..... gaffer tape is notoriously weak.

edit : I mean masking tape is notoriously weak

Oh, if it was gaffer tape - or that fucking tape that leaves a horrible sticky residue that's almost impossible to get off - then I'd be angry too. But this stuff comes off in seconds without a trace and only the serially unhinged would want to go on a stabbing spree over it.
 
It is rather shit tbf... Perhaps it'd be better received in Japan, where they like that kind of oversized spoilers better. Waste of time, tape and trees.
 
This isn't the new jokes thread. You can't expect a media mogul to rework his clickbaitish title until it reads "artist pimps random cars at night with mixed, possibly counterproductive, results and some unanswered questions about cardboard disposal".
Wow. You've certainly hit the nail on the head here. Massive point, delivered with panache, without even the slightest hint of having to resort to ad hominems. Sterling work. This is what made Britain great!
 
It's in Holland, but the second car on the OP is right hand drive. Obviously an anti-Irish thing going on there.
 
I'm glad the issue of littering is now something of the past :) I've got a basement full of junk that's been bothering me for years, and the streets of Brixton are ripe for some seeding tonight :cool:
