Political Poop ‘08

Published by justlo at 10:54 am under Uncategorized Edit This

As many of you are aware a controversial art exhibit called “The assassination of Hilary Clinton/The Assassination of Brack Obama” was shut down before it could be viewed and the artist Yazmany Arboleda was taken into custody for questioning.
Arboleda had this to say in his defense: “It’s art. It’s not supposed to be harmful. It’s about character assassination — about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.” He added, “It’s about the media.” Source
Before viewing pictures of the exhibit I said to myself, “Self, why are folks all up in arms? It’s art and he has freedom of speech on his side.”

I still believe that freedom of expression should be upheld. But and however, when your expression is or can be widely viewed as hateful or possibly incite violence or riot then you need to reevaluate your message. And that’s all I have to say about that.

In other Political Poop…

SVEDKA Vodka had a full page ad in the New York Times offering Hillary Clinton a coupon to redeem free vodka for the rest of the election season. The ad thanks Hilz for making the election season so exciting and encourages her to sit back and have herself a drank. Source
Yea, that or allow herself to sink into the dark abysmal realm of alcoholism because she’s such a failure.
