Swedish police explode over 'incendiary' artwork

I get it. I get jokes. Good to see the Swedes are as dumb as Bostoners.

Should be "What's up, döc", not "What's up, døc", as ø doesn't occur in Swedish.

people thought they looked like bombs

ppfffft everyone knows that bombs are black and round like a bowlingball with a fuse

and bank robbers always hold canvas bags with "$$$" on them

a hillbilly has a straw pointed hat and a clay jug with "XXX" on it

and people only die in NYC by having a piano dropped on themfarkwits

What if they had been real carrot bombs?

We can't let the terrorists win!

Some Idiot: It was hard to tell if they were real or not.
Artist: It is just carrots with an alarm clock and nothing else

There has to be a name for this syndrome by now -- seeing a clearly innocuous object and assuming it is a bomb because it resembles a Hollywood caricature of a bomb.

Headline could read "What's up Dag?"

 
Nick Nostril 2009-06-14 10:40:26 AM  
I've left some real bombs of my own, but they usually require deviled eggs and draft beer the day before. Will have to try carrots next time.

This isn't art.

Lock the uncreative attention whore up.

The ø is Norwegian. The two languages are similar, however.

For instance, if I wanted to tell you that your mother sucks bear penis in the forest in Norwegian, I would probably say Din mamma suger bjørnkuk i skogen. If I wanted to say the same in Swedish, it would become Din mamma suger björnkuk i skogen.

It's Art because it drew attention to a relevant issue and prompted thought while being displayed. The problem was the types of thought it attracted (eg: omg terrorists are everywhere).
It's not art, which is typically tasteful or decorative. It's Art.

It's not either.

Gluing a bunch of shiat together isn't art. It's nice to tell you kindergartener, but the little snowflake needs to grow up at some point.

Tell that tø the Majestic Møøse, the øne that bit my sister.

kleppe: The ø is Norwegian. The two languages are similar, however.

The letter ø is also found in Danish, as are the letters æ and å. And the three languages (Swedish, Norwegian and Dansk) are so similar that they are really more like dialects of the same language. Icelandic, although similar generally, diverged much earlier than the "big three", and as a result is unintelligible). No idea about Faroe (another related language).

For anyone who is interested, Finnish is entirely different than Swedish, Norwegian and Dansk; it's a "Finno-Ugric" language. It's closer to Estonian (maybe intuitive if you look at the geography) and Hungarian (probably not intuitive).

Yeah, since that Monty Python bit, everyone says that. :)

But then again, they weren't right about the Judean People's Front, either. (Splitters!)
