where are the pics.?
ReplyThe first one is a wall outside a pub where people throw their bubble gum on, the second one is suppose to be the art. But in this day and age anything could be construed art. Like Bird poop on window
ReplyIt must be the ones we can't see, maybe they were stolen!
ReplyIf there is any question whether the "art" was created by a "master" or by a child, then it's not good art. The only people impressed with this foolishness are art afficianados, and they are among the dumbest people on earth.
ReplyWhere's the beef??
ReplyActually, these works of art are eerily similar to those lithographs
Replythat were once popular in our malls... you know, the ones that if you
squinted your eyes and stared at them forever, you might see a
hidden image.( Such as a ship, a unicorn, or Jimmy Hoffa.)

ReplyHey, DLM, Don't spoil our fun by giving us facts or useful information, we're used to this kind of stuff on A.O.L. , and for
Replysome of us it's our only outlet for clever sarcasm!
I didn't see any pictures either !!! I'm strarting to thing we've been duped ...flim-flammed ..horn-swaggled ...well i won't go that far ...i didn't feel like anything was swaggled ..but i'm starting to feel ostracized ..that might not be too bad either !!
ReplyIf it is something anyone could do then I don't consider that art. Some of the expensive stuff that passes for "art" looks like a kindergartener threw different colors of paint on a canvas.
ReplyWhere's the pic??? This comment place has turned into a ad area with people posting the same thing everyday...lonly wealthyconnect.co....and now a dual cleanse product etc etc....come one aol....stop the same posts, its annoying and has nothing to do with topics. Even though this time there is nothing to comment on aside from saying WHERES THE PICCSS? lol
ReplyFound the paintings the Obamas are having a yard sale.
ReplyI'm the most famous painter that lived so far. Those look like De Kooning rip offs (both are fakes). I'm the only painter in history able
Replyto paint like Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh, like me, or anyone. You can see some of my canvasas in the 24 carat collection in Orlando, Fl. Alfred
Schrader....You sound like a wannabe copyist......
By now it should be obvious, Susan: AOL has all the technology it needs, and can certainly afford to hire someone who can censor and even reject our posts, and who can flatout bar any of us from all of their sites. Obviously, they don't care about their customers, because they're making big bucks off us (their theory: if one quits, another signs up - they ain't losing anything, and if they don't make enough, they just raise our rates, like they did a while back - $2 X how many million subscribers?),

Reply(part 3.): and blogs be proofread/edited, and all news reporters follow the simple "five Ws and an H, for the first paragraph of every article). Therefore, it becomes clear to me that the reason these spammers are advertising (AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY ARTICLE/BLOG! ! !), is that they actually WORK FOR AOL! They are probably working right out of AOL offices!
ReplyAnd have you noticed how some of their sites (such as this one) limit you as to how long your comment can be? But they don't tell you how long - if you go over, they just delete your post, without even giving you the simple courtesy of telling you that they are doing so! Then you have to do it over. Always make sure that you copy your comment onto another document before you post it, so you don't have to do it over!
