Visual Art Bad Man of the Day
Posted by Jen Graves on Wed, May 5, 2010 at 11:30 AM
Griffin gets the Hitleresque mug-with-shotgun-shell-handle treatment from Seattle artist Charlie Krafft, whose works—in a collaborative show with fellow Seattle artist Mike Leavitt—will be on display at London's Stolen Space Gallery starting May 13.
Plenty of images of what'll be in the show are here.
Notify Western Europe! Krafft and Leavitt are coming!
If you're looking for Krafft's uzis, bullets, hand grenades, and stabbed bunnies in Seattle, you will—in a retail experience of serious cognitive dissonance—find them at the upscale, well-heeled Far4 home decor store on First Avenue downtown.

As a descendent of the original inhabitants of Britain (Welsh/Scottish and German Celt) I'd like to pay him to move back to the Ukraine where his people came from.
It's only fair.
It's only fair.

First they should send off all the art treasures from other countries back to the place of origin, then return all the money they profited off of Africa, India, the Caribbean, and Asia. Then return all the hard assets, the precious metals & stones, back to their countries of origin. Then close every restaurant that serves any type of foreign dish & allow only the four B's of Britain: Beef, Bread, Butter & Beer. Then get rid of any other cultural instrument or literature that isn't British, everything from the sitar to the Rubbyiat.
Then, once they've cleansed themselves of truly everything foreign, then they can ask the "brown people" to leave.
Of course, they wouldn't really have to. Who would want to live in Britain after they pushed everything good out?

Thank you for informing me that it is a Hitleresque mug-with-shotgun-shell-handle. I had been thinking Kevin Nealon.

@1, the "Welsh/Scottish and German Celts" are not even remotely the "original inhabitants of Britain".

The best thing about Will @1's comment is that it is in fact word-for-word the text of Griffin's typical speech. Celts OK (Griffin is Welsh), nig nogs and Pakis out. Which just goes to show how thin Will's veneer of faux-lib is.

@5 yeah, but that was after we forced the Irish Picts across the sea, for their murderous rampages that destroyed the Cro-Magnons.
Filthy buggers.
Filthy buggers.

I don't know that this is such a bad thing. I mean seriously 50k pounds is enough money that I'd be willing to leave the US by this weekend.

You naive white-guilt Seattle "progressives" are obviously ignorant of the fact that at least fully 95% of the murders and other violent assaults in London and other suitably "diverse" cities in GB are committed by Africans, pakistanis, and other Arab Muslims. Wake the fuck up to reality you naive do-gooders.
