Man Attempts to Smear Cake on Mona Lisa to Protest Climate Change

Man Attempts to Smear Cake on Mona Lisa to Protest Climate Change

Authorities arrested the man and placed him in psychiatric care.

Shouldn’t the man have targeted a Marie Antoinette painting? You know, cake and all.

A man disguised as an old lady in a wheelchair smeared cake on the Mona Lisa painting after he failed to break the bulletproof glass protecting the priceless art.

The man said in French: “There are people who are destroying the Earth … All artists, think about the Earth. That’s why I did this. Think of the planet.”

“There are people who are destroying the Earth … All artists, think about the Earth.”

If you’re an artist, go paint your own Mona Lisa—and then you can destroy it. Oh I see, you’re not that kind of artist. But you want to destroy that kind of art. Too bad you failed. Now the planet is doomed.

    Shouldn’t we have international laws with “red flag” provisions, prohibiting people, falling within the RF guidelines, from purchasing smearable cake?

Confine him to a wheelchair for 1 year.

Everyone reaches for their phone instead of grabbing the perp and giving him a good whooping.

That’s NOT a man

    My very first thought when I read the title. “It” may be male, but it’s certainly not a man.

Why are they letting him ponticate?
Unbelievable

Think about the planet? In his case planet Zog.

Put him in a straight jacket and give him an enema!

I wonder if he pouts Cica Cola into his gas tank? I see it done in ads on websites, so it can’t be harmful…

“There are people who are destroying the Earth … All artists, think about the Earth.”

I tried writing a song for mother earth once, but this is what came out:

California’s Burnin’ (TTTO: California Dreamin’ by the Mamas and Papas)

All the trees are brown
And the sky is red
Tinder for the flames
Keep the fires fed
Gavin keeps on screamin’
“This is on Trump’s head”
California’s burnin’
And Smokey Bear is dead

Climate fires are real
Crazy Nancy claims
Mother earth is pissed
She torments us with flames
“Vote for us or else
We’ll Burn and Loot and Maim”
California’s burnin’
And Donald Trump’s to blame

So it seems now the climatistas aren’t even going to let us eat cake?

Okay, nutjob….go pour gasoline on yourself and light a match. Otherwise, you are just another “Me! Me! Me!” fruitcake, pun intended.

    The art of protest is devolving. A well-executed protest requires better efforts than that of a random shithead. Today’s protest plans are essentially MadLib results:
    Man/Woman Attempts to Smear/Throw ______ on _________ to Protest _____________.

How is what this fool did any different from when the Islamic State was destroying works of art? The problem with Leftists is they think they are good people.

Fascists know how to exploit the mentally ill and the malcontent, and they work hard at it with success.

The GOPe knows how to exploit productive, loyal voters, stab them in the back, and then continue to successfully exploit them.

So who is mentally ill: the fascist useful idiots or the GOPe useful idiots?

Cargo cults are a first-order forcing of [catastrophic] [anthropogenic] [social] climate change and collateral damage.

Lunatics everywhere. Re-open the mental hospitals.

Maybe next time (if there’s a “next time”) you could just wear a sandwich board. Or perhaps a sign you can jiggle up and down.
Suggested text: “The End Is Near!”

(Of course crazies can’t just wear a sandwich board: because, This Is An Emergency! And Therefore Anything Is Justified to Prevent It!!” [aka BAMN]).

(On second thought, why don’t you just go Save The World in a video game? Satisfy your need-to-be-a-hero, and police won’t haul you off.)

Once upon a time cops and security people carried night stick and knew how to use them to inflict maximum pain with negligible marks.

Somewhere in my files is a Navy Shore Patrol manual which goes into that art in great detail. Perhaps it’s time for a reprint.

    I’d like to see it. perhaps we can peruse the manual while fruitcake roasts in the sun, chained to his chair.

So the man (?) managed to smear cake on the bulletproof glass protecting the Mona Lisa because climate change. Yeah, that makes a whole lotta sense. Once upon a time we put nutcases like this in mental hygiene institutions and treated their mental illnesses. But apparently we no longer do this.

I’m still in Gosport’s files. I wonder if his files include the time a Sailor decided to attack the son of an African diplomat. Sailor didn’t know that.

I don’t doubt Japanese source. It’s just that my files include that.

Then, it turns out the Tokyo cops include in their contingent a police lieutenant. Here’s where it gets good. Or bad, depending on your POV. There aren’t enough black chicks in Tokyo to go around.

Romeo et al decide to take on the cops. You might think Japanese cops are nice and polite. I played Rugby against them. My dad went to war against them. NO! They’re not. They have huge sticks and they have the kendo skills to know how to use them.

And one of our heroes had a baggie full of heroin tucked into his sock. No, I don’t think the Japanese cops planted it on him. I think he was just that stupid.

I’m an environmentalist, so I think I’ll dress up like an old lady in a wheelchair, hide a piece of cake, and smear on the Mona Lisa.

People may think the act is crazy, but it shows a lot of planning.

Marie Antoinette never said “Let them eat cake.” Does France not teach their accurate history either? Bien sur, non!

Rousseau said that a great princess uttered this phrase and Marie Antoinette was too young at that time to have been that person. I confess that I may be mis-remembering the finer details, though although I know plenty more about French history than that moron.

    George Washington never threw a dollar across the Potomac or chopped down a cherry tree, either. But, like “political correctness,” some tales are “culturally correct” and you’ll never get rid of them.
