You can't smoke ashes, dipshiat. You can snort them but you can't smoke them.

Shhhhh. Let her find out when she tries to make a point, and it won't actually light.

sure she isnt smoking someone else?

Do it before the mormons baptize him. Once he's baptized mormon, he can't smoke.

well done sir.

FTFA: "She said smoking them would symbolically set Cobain "free" from the media circus."

Thanks for the second installment of said circus, dumbass.

Sounds like she's making up a big pile of bullshiat just to get her name in the news...

Yeah, nothing says "free from the media circus" like a press release about a publicity stunt trying to cash in on somebody else's fame.

FTA -She said smoking them would symbolically set Cobain "free" from the media circus.

Even better, mix it in milk and drink up.

FTFA: "She said smoking them would symbolically set Cobain "free" from the media circus."

Because who needs a circus when you have a perfectly good freak show?

Wow, I like Kurt Cobain and his music as much as I enjoy setting fire to my balls, but that is seriously farked up. I don't believe in afterlife or anything like that, but come on....sick sick world

Never mind (no pun intended) that she's admitting to being in possession of stolen property. I don't know how that works across international borders... Either way, it's stupid.

Mugato: You can't smoke ashes, dipshiat. You can snort them but you can't smoke them.

Just FYI, everywhere but the US a joint means tobacco + addition-of-choice (weed, cocaine, ashes, you name it). The thing would burn sure enough but the added ashes would just become, er, ashier and drop off the end. But it's doable.

Artists like this make the term "Artist" a joke. This lady needs to go get a job at the local Kangaroomart and leave art to those that want to make beauty.

i've enjoyed Foo Fighters more than Nirvana. i think Nirvana receives so much attention because they sort shattered the late 80's pop nightmare, and because Kurt capped his own ass. Their (read:his) lyrics made very little sense. They were what music needed at the time.

/it's hard to barglenoudlezowse

Kurt Cobain died for my sins.

That is all.

That doorbell. It's Courtney, and she's pissed.

If this means we'll never have to hear about Cobain again, I'm all for it.

/Nirvana sucked

Pus Gut: That doorbell. It's Courtney, and she's pissed.

You are assuming she is sober enough to push the doorbell button.

Why is this kind of crap called art? "I'm gonna wear a monocle and take a dump on a phonebook. I call this piece 'Taking a Dump on a Phonebook While Wearing a Monocle.'" Voila, art!

Pus Gut: That doorbell. It's Courtney, and she's pissed.

Yeah, and Courtney's pissed because she had planned to smoke Kurt's ashes on the 20th anniversary of his death.

And artist? This person is supposed to be an artist? *sigh*

Smoke them, snort them, bake them into a yummy cobbler for all I care... Just don't get them near me as they reek of courtney love's festering, diseased pickle parlor...

I hope that she accidentally smokes a piece of lead from the shotgun that Courtney fired into his brain. That ought to get her all choked up.

KHITBASH

True story. I had to introduce Hole at a show here in town years ago. Courtney was actually very nice. She smelled like raw sewage, her breath could've knocked a buzzard off a crapwagon, but she was quite friendly. Anyway, the show starts and I'm up front. She tends to put her foot up on the monitor when she plays. Courtney chose not to wear underwear. I had to leave after 20 minutes of staring at this wadded up grilled cheese sandwich. For some reason, I could not look away. Therapy helped.

I hop she gets a police raid on her house for admitting to owning stolen property. Dumbass.

Grandstanding art is one thing, but desecrating someone's ashes is farked up, celebrity or no. It's pretty sick that his ashes were stolen in the first place.

Wouldn't that be like smoking cigarette ashes? You can't re-smoke a cigarette...it's already been smoked. That's why its ash. Am I missing something here? Has nobody explained to her that you can't smoke ashes? Anyone? Hello? Maybe she could load the ashes in a shotgun shell like rock-salt and get Courtney to blast her in the face...you know...for art, unlike when she blasted Kurt in the face. That wasn't salt.

Thank Jebus she's here to set him free (symbolically) from the media circus. Where's the "Hero" tag?
Once he's been set free I'll bet we never ever hear about him again.

1. Don't acquire the ashes of Kurt Cobain
2. Say you did
3. Profit!

kurt cobain is not from seattle.

please stop associating him with it.

thank you,
the management

I'm so happy because today I found my friends.

I shouldn't ...but..can't help myself.

Heh... (new window)

Kurt Cobain causes cancer.

Empty Signal Gray: Why is this kind of crap called art? "I'm gonna wear a monocle and take a dump on a phonebook. I call this piece 'Taking a Dump on a Phonebook While Wearing a Monocle.'" Voila, art!

yay for performance art.

FTA:The ashes went missing during a burglary at Courtney Love's home in May.

I call shenanigans. Courtney Love's career has pretty much dried up, but last I saw her drug habbit hadn't. Funny how things go "missing" around druggies with no money. The "artist" in question probably just bought the ashes off ebay or found them in a pawn shop. Artist gets to smoke Kurt and Courtney gets to smoke meth. Everyone wins!

/well except for the insurance company that had to pay for the "burgled" items.

Yeah, we all know they can't be re-smoked. The whole concept is you take his cremains, the last physical component of this guy, wrap them with something smoke-able, then smoke it, and it all turns to ash and blows away. Yes, the Cobain contribution is already ash, but the end result is the same -- it gets used up, that is consumed.

Yeah, it's dumb on many levels -- stolen, disrespectful of human remains, and no, none of Cobain's creativity is in his cremains. It's a stupid way of trying to mock creativity, by a synthetic mock creativity, of the remains of a creative guy.

But really, do we need a dozen Farkers to explain to us that the cremains are not smoke-able?

JesterGirl: Approves

i would like to announce right here and now that i will eat kurt vonnegut's remains like jerky by the zoo in central park on christmas eve

then he will be free$12 a pound

tell your friends

Holy shiat was that funny. Hats off to you.

Mix it in Chinese milk and drink up.

An Australian artist wants to smoke the stolen ashes of Kurt Cobain as part of an exhibition she claims will set the late Nirvana singer "free".

I think she's had plenty enough to smoke already.

Arkcon: But really, do we need a dozen Farkers to explain to us that the cremains are not smoke-able?

Yes, yes we do. We like to call out pretentious douchebags. Especially the high-art ones: easy targets.

The fact is her press release- her own words apparently uses the term "smoke". If she said "put them in a cigarette and smoke it", or "blow them away", "inhaling them" or anything to that effect, fine. But the fact remains, she will not be smoking them.

The best thing Cobain did for music was put that shotgun in his mouth.

ErgosumDominati:

Is that Guitar An Hero?

Farkin' "artists" get a job and stop being a drain on the real art world.

gigamortis: Farkin' "artists" get a job and stop being a drain on the real art world.

Unfortunately, this is what the art world considers real art.
