Politics / Visual Art Iran Sends A Little Pink Fuck-You Sculpture to Obama
Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 1:12 PM
NO, IRAN DI'IN'T!
In response to the American "Beast of Kandahar" stealth drone that came down in Iran in December, the Iranian government is making a little pink scale model, and sending it to the Obama administration.
It's also making 70,000 copies of that miniature and selling them as toys, for the equivalent of four bucks each.
Yes they can!
In what also seems like a parody, Artinfo columnist Kyle Chayka compares Ahmadinejad to the artists Paul McCarthy, Charles Ray, and Chris "Shot in the Arm and Neutron Bomb" Burden.
The world is officially bonkers.

Oh yeah, and as Eric Grandy points out to me on FB, hasn't pink fighter planes already been done?!

#3 - Agreed. I'm surprised Iran came up with such a clever insult. Seems more like something the Yippies might have done.
