Setting The President in The Art World

Setting The President In The Art World
Or Chasing the American Dream All The Way To The Banksy
03/11/08

Is it me or does this election seem like the battle of who could care less?

I think most of the people feel that whoever the winner will be, all will be the same. The world will not suddenly change, it won't be like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, people wont suddenly stop being turned to stone and come to life.If anything it will be like Bob Roberts. It seems every time there is an American election, in my life time anyway, the greater of the 2 evils wins the day.
I have resisted making any of the oh so easy jokes about McCain and oven chips, also, I won't mention that Obama sounds like, "Abummer", that would be lazy. But they are fine chips.

Obviously the idea of a weird old guy who has a running mate who is a gun toting bear killing maniac sounds like the worst person to be in charge. Which probably means they will win and the world will be plunged into financial crisis, with Le Crunch Bunch ruining the worlds economy, as usual. Next you will have an Austrian body builder in politics, ha, imagine that. This really is biting satire in the extreme, I hope Rory Bremner is reading this. I could carry on pretending that I know what is going on over there, but you can clearly see that I dont. The truth is that whoever wins, we lose. Again, no sense in that, but I do like saying that with a dramatic pause.

The more important issue today is surely a Banksy painting meaning that an old run down pub is now going to sell for 1 million pounds. I am so sick of this Banksy wank, he turns up somewhere and just does a rubbish stencilled spray painting and the world goes mad. He is like the Scarlet Pimpernel for idiots. I may start my own wave of this. Going by the name "The Ant" I will travel the length and breadth of the country daubing my terribly witty pictures on walls. My ideas are as such, a fireman on fire, a traffic warden getting a ticket from a car, a policeman being arrested by a dog whilst kissing a man and a flag being raised by a clown, or something. If I just give it a few months and make sure I keep my identity top secret, I will be rolling in money in no time. Then I can laugh at you all like Banksy does, openly and out loud as no one knows who he is. I do, a gimp. I may even take a more covert strategy, I will simply find out who Banksy is, follow him on his little missions, wait until he has gone and sign them, "With Satirical Regards, The Ant"
Next time you see a Banksy picture, make sure you sign it, "The Ant" and I will get some cash this way.
