When the acid wears off she'll no longer be beside herself.

I have no idea what she's talking about, so instead here's Art Garfunkel's moustache:

Proves the old saying-- A bird in a box is worth two in a band.

It's almost like one man's art is another man's garbage. Or something.

This really made the news? I mean, really?
Hell, I guess i'm news worthy too:

"Courtney is beside herself"

and that is not a nice place to be.

Can we taxidermize Courtney Love and stuff her in a box? Everybody wins.

Was it a heart-shaped box?

 
HoneyDog 2009-04-05 08:22:47 AM  
So dead critters in boxes is trendy art. I am definitely in the wrong farking business. By the way, what was that god awful looking thing Courtney was wearing?

How did the animals die...If she "helped them" then I hope the artist gets slapped with animal abuse.

I started reading that, and then realized that it was too stupid to continue.

Looks like she's had one too-many plastic surgeries on her face.

I think its time to go look under trees for baby birds that have fallen to their deaths and sell them as "art".

Don't forget the roadkill too. Easy money, just laying there waiting to be shoveled up!

/Leave the skunks though, they stink.

I used to be a mover. Let me just take this opportunity to say that as a mover, you don't throw away anything that belongs to the shipper.

You say "How about this? Does this go?" and follow their instructions.

(OTOH, Ms. Love did fire her assistant, who was supervising, so who knows, maybe the movers did their due diligence.)

Hey, that gives me an idea. My dogs are experts at killing rabbits that are stupid enough get through the fence and come into my back yard. I'll just have to be fast and get to the rabbit before the boys make it lunch. Maybe Courtney would like a decapitated bunny in a box.

I bet the mover sold it to a blind kid...

In a related story, Andy Dick and Courtney have teamed up.
In future, they will be known as A. Hole and Courtney Love-Dick.

Beside is probably better than inside though

 
Slappy Kincaid 2009-04-05 09:17:54 AM  
there is justice in this world: bimbo pisses money away on what 95% of us would say, "that's crap" and the movers oblige us.

That's one point for the common man.

sorry to see the personal assistant get 86'ed - I'm sure she'll be much better off

courtney love is a has been never was coont

I think I'd have blown my brains out to get away from that slag too.

"Work of art?"

Is Art the cat?

'"ART"!? Mate, this bird wouldn't be "art" if you spent 8,000 pounds on it! 'E's bleedin' demised!'

 
eggrolls [TotalFark] 2009-04-05 10:19:26 AM  
I'll go in the back yard right now an build her a new 'work of art'. And I'll only charge her a grand.

/Idiot.

Does GIS search for Courtney Love

You know I'm getting fat, but I still look a helluva lot better than this rich skaggy blonde.

Thanks Fark for making me feel good about myself, again.

GoldDude 2009-04-05 10:31:34 AM  
I'm not going to get into the debate about what is or isn't "art", but let me suggest to Courtney's next assistant that:

1. you have a bat-sh*t crazy boss
2. if you're in charge of moving her stuff, take everything right down to the used tampons in the garbage and the turd floating in the toilet, cause they might be "art".

 
firefly212 2009-04-05 10:38:15 AM  
Eh, the question of what constitutes art is immaterial to the problem. Movers don't get to decide what is or is not trash, and shouldn't throw anything away. If I pay you several thousand dollars to move stuff, it isn't really your place to decide what's trash or not... if I paid you to move abused and torn newspapers from random days of the week... you do it, you don't just throw them out. They were paid to move stuff, they chose to throw stuff out instead, and now they are going to pay for it... as they rightly should.

Yes I call shenanigans too. It may be repellant but it definitely looks like a keepsake. Movers throwing away old MacDonald's wrappers I could understand, but something not something as "unusual" as that.

Then again, it has brought the artist a whole big bunch of publicity which is nice for the value of her artworks......

You said it firefly212. Dumb thread.

 
Gregosaurus 2009-04-05 10:59:45 AM  
Understandable. The both the bird and her career have a lot in common...

/Bereft of life, it rests in peace

 
quisph 2009-04-05 11:29:04 AM  
Oh, yay, another thread where tiresome Philistines try to lecture the rest of us about what is and is not allowed to be called art. I love these.

 
EyeballKid 2009-04-05 11:39:28 AM  
And the bird's death was made to look like a suicide.

 
JWideman 2009-04-05 12:05:17 PM  
Something's not right. Movers don't throw ANYTHING out. They'll load your trash on the truck, and bill you for the weight.
