another proof how dumb people are...

[flexy]

stupidity x 10

a library (!) paid her $40000 for an artwork which includes 175 names of famous people in world's history.
Turns out that 11 of the names are spelled UTTERLY wrong, eg. "shakespeere", spelling errors in "Einstein", "Michelangelo", etc..etc..

Again...this is an artwork in front of a LIBRARY..which is supposed to serve for public education, right ?

Now she wants another $6000 to fly from FL to CA for 'expenses' to fix these errors....but ultimately declined because 'there are so many haters around'...

Amazing stupidity

Ah. I read the link - she spelled it with the contemporary "michael" part. Yeah, that is sad.

They charge a mint for over due books and if you don't pay they send the books after you

This is why government shouldn't pay for art.

"The people that are into humanities, and are into Blake's concept of enlightenment, they are not looking at the words," she told The AP.

:roll:

Yet another example of how your tax dollars get put to use.

<---in the worst tax bracket

Can't believe she's demanding more money to fix it...

If she comes back to SF.. I say we go cuss her out.

 

[Kelvrick]

Ok, we need some contact information. I'm all for sending her more hatemail in this one.

 

[CraigRT]

haha.. sucks to be her

They should set the museum on fire. And throw the homeless into the flames. Two birds with one stone, eh?

 

[Gurck]

That's really sad, people like that (not just her spelling, but for wanting $$ to fix it, then deciding not to entirely) should be shot. That or be sterilized and have "IDIOT" tattooed on their foreheads :frown:

LOL! I like the way you think!!

Send hatemail to the library for wasting public money like that.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

now see, when there places that could really benefit from that money, these guys just use it on a damn painting for the library

40K is nothing compare to the cool $1.76 CAD million the National Gallery of Canada paid for red/blue stripes.

Canada's biggest art scandal

They continuously look for a scapegoat. I guess I am the sacrificial goat."

Umm, she IS the one who misspelled the words.
