Stupid people shouldn't be allowed on the internet
Once more into the depths of my blog to fish out comments on long-dead blog posts, dear friends!
A while ago I had a whale of a time researching the (sadly now defunct) vanity publisher Protea, publishers of (how could we forget), the truly awesome Off the Hook phrasebook for Japanese wannabe gangstas. In the course of my research I also turned up the some of the other titles that Protea released before it folded, as well as their work on bespoke oil paintings from photographs.
The paintings are stunningly awful, and certainly looked nothing like their subjects, unless their subjects were both boss-eyed and had lips that didn't line up with their noses.
The mistake I made though was not realising that because the pictures were both of American soldiers, any mockery of the artist's skill was actually mocking the looks of the soldiers themselves, and therefore a direct insult to all men fighting for Peace, Justice and the American Way. Ungrateful bastard that I am.
Well, according to the last couple of commentators, anyway.
Enjoy the new depths of imbecility, I'm off to put on a bhurkha. Auf Wiedersehen!

Shame they don't have paragraphs over there in the States.
Or the ability to actually read a post before spouting right-wing knee-jerk reactionary bull-merde
May I suggest that a holiday in Thailand is not for you. :)
'just happened on your site', I dont think so! These people trawl the net for people to have a go at.
As for the burka thing, I know black is slimming, but the cuts just not you Becky. (unless they do a miniskirted version. :o)
Badly executed art doesn’t celebrate bravery; it just belittles and ridicules it. Next month brings Armistice Day and you can bet your bottom dollar that nobody will be looking at shitty painted portraits. Instead they’ll be giving their respects to the dead and serving down at the local war memorial. Public art that has been created by truly talented souls instead of cringe makingly bad fools just in it for making a fast buck.
But obviously I hate freedom.
Had the same experience on a dance music forum, FFS.
best one so far? Complaining that my list of Tranny Clichés was full of stereotypes...
