What do the surveys say about that?

Are they bringing back Richard Dawson for this one???
He was great in The running man wasnt he.

Couldn't they just give me... say.... 1 million bucks?? No problem for them.

Daggum it all.

Hey, und dummkopf! Watch out for the CD-changer in my trunk, eh? Idiot.

Surely the price of a painting is based on the ability or desire of the market to pay for it. I wonder whether there's 10 billion euros out there ready to be blown on this shiate?

Looks like this group of people have more money than brains.

/Wishes I did too.

SquirrelWithLargeNuts: God bless you. This ones for you.

feh

Mansell,

I'd buy that for a dollar.

/The machine took your dullar!
//Worst. Commercial. Ever.
///KFC sucketh.

Mansell: I wonder whether there's 10 billion euros out there ready to be blown on this shiate?

Oh, there is. You split the collection up and museums around the world would be bidding for pieces of it.

Just the idea of being able to see parts of this art collection makes me want to cry with joy. After the Bach aria, it's been a good week for hidden beauty.

/Snoopy dance

10 BILLION!?!

I just broke my monacle again. I simply must stop being so shocked.

I think that might have been "forthright", not "shocked".

/can nitpick with the best of 'em. :)

Fragonard and a Bouchet? Oh man. Thats some serious shiat.

That being said, death to all neo-fascist art nazi's that hoard shiat like this away from public view. Do a GIS for Wildenstien. That's the woman who tried to turn her face into a cats, and failed.

Survey says!

A GIS for "survey says" reveals this "quaint" image:

Good answer!

I read the headline as "Family freud".

/crazy

There ya go. Jocelyn Wildenstien

They told their dear stepmom to stuff it
"Give up out loot? No! We love it!"
One thing seems sure
'bout this family de jour:
They're loaded with Monet and tons of it!

I think that might have been "forthright", not "shocked".
/can nitpick with the best of 'em. :)


It is actually:
"Good lord, what has become of the sport of kings?"
"Get bent"
"Thats my third monocle this week; I simply must stop being so horified"


When in doubt, ask the guy that has every episode on his computer ;)

faethe: There ya go. Jocelyn Wildenstien


Are you sure thay's not a Picasso of her?

I mean, with the eyes floating off the face an' everything...

/obligatory

Circle gets the square! Oh wait, wrong show.

I can't believe no one's picked up on the names in this story yet......Wildenstein.......Alec has quite the ex-wife.....

Museums?

You'd need 100 museums willing to spank 10 million on a painting. That gets you only 10% of the way.

I don't disagree that it's possible, especially with individuals wading in, just saying that the more 'rare' paintings on the market, the less rare, and expensive, they become.

/Qualified by virtue of my one-time relationship with an auctioneer. Once kissed her hard against the side of a Bueller ferrari, arms pinned along the roof. 250 GTO. Went for $5 million if I recall. The car, not the girl. She was priceless.

/The days...

Beat me to the punch....(couldn't get a linkable image on awfulplasticsurgery.com).

[pedant]Bueller drove a (replica of a) 250GT California, which doesn't actually have a roof[/pedant]

Dang you, kokomo61

I was eating a McDonald's hamburger when I was reading these comments and then saw that picture. I literally rushed to the toilet and vomited. No kidding. Thanks a lot.

Not quite sure why you would want to lock your art up in a vault, where even you could not enjoy it. Don't owners often permanently loan them out to museums, or hang them in their own homes or offices?

It seems really selfish and perverse to buy an expensive, artistically acclaimed, historically significant masterpiece and then consciously hide it from the world.

/where have you gone, Andrew Carnegie?

From article...
will challenge a French court ruling in favour of their 71-year-old stepmother Sylvia to break up the huge private collection, believed to include Renoirs, Monets and Manets

While you can never get enough pics of Jocelyn, it is a DIFFERENT angry Wildenstein from the article.

I think Jocelyn became a cat woman when she was a cuckold by her husband. She lost her marbles because he left her for a younger woman, so now she is blowing all his cash on turning into Cheetarah (sp?)

/Thundercast, Ho!

Surrrrr-vey SAYS!

Ender_kg: Who is that hottie? Ananova doesn't tell me shiat.

Same family, and it's said that Alec encouraged her absolute batshiat insanity striking look.

In addition to all the other toys, they lived on a 66,000 acre private estate in Kenya, surrounded by the cats whose appearance she's trying to emulate (as you do).

You've destroyed my memory of that car, that girl, that moment.

Nahhhhhhh

/'Our' one looked a bit like this...

/Pale skin, black hair, pure fire. I swear, the car had nothing on her.

Was it from the pictures, or from eating a McD's burger?

How can you judge me, when you don't even know me?

I threw up a little in my mouth
thanks for the pic

You're kidding, right ?

Mansell:

And what happened after she called the cops? Did you serve time for sexual assault?
