UN Throws $23 Million at the Ceiling
In case you're wondering what happens to the $billions our government loots from us and turns over to the hostile confederacy of lowlife dictators calling itself the United Nations:
The U.N. Human Rights Council, frequently accused of coddling some of the world's most repressive governments, threw itself a party in Geneva Tuesday that featured the unveiling of a $23 million mural paid for in part with foreign aid funds.
In a ceremony attended by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo told the press that his 16,000-square-foot ceiling artwork reminded him of "an image of the world dripping toward the sky" — but it reminded critics of money slipping out of relief coffers.
Spanish taxpayers are on the hook for most of the bill on this particular outrage, but Americans pay about a quarter of the UN's monstrous budget.
Not to worry though: No doubt Chairman O will put an end to this nonsense, kick these profligate parasites out of our country, and give us our money back. After all, he's a man of the people. Pass the arugula.
Hat tip: Jawa Report. On a tip from Burning Hot.

Ah, modern art.
By inflicting sufficient ugliness upon us, the modern artists believe, they will wear down our capacity to see beauty.
(From Spengler, Admit it - you really hate modern art, page 2)
As far as art goes, that mural is the anti-Sistine chapel. And purposely so.

Hideous, outrageously expensive, and completely useless... you have to admit, the "art" sums up the UN quite effectively.

Wow, my two year old could have done that for half the cost. ;)

Oshit will pass his Global Poverty Act, thereby giving the UN sovereignty over us. Never mind that it's unconstitutional. Oshit believes our Constitution is "flawed" but he'll fix that.

It looks like what would happen if a giant circus clown vomited on the ceiling of a cave.
Hideous.

Camouflage.

Anyone can plainly see that it is vomit sprayed on the ceiling.What I want to know is how did they keep the chinks from clogging the spray nozzle?

Grow your own arugula! Be the first on your block to know what the heck it is!

I think it's really pretty and at only $23 million it sounds like they got a good deal!

HOLY CAVE PAINTINGS BATMAN 23 MILLION DOLLARS FOR KOOKIE STALAGSTICKS

Man, $23 mil for that? I shoulda been an "artist." I could actually see the price tag if it were someone like Jackson Pollock doing (pretty much) the same thing as the splashes of various colors of paint on the ceiling there, but all this idiot did was sling/spray/splash colors at random, call it "the world dripping toward the sky" (how's that work, sir? Ever hear of gravity? Apparently not), and demand payment. Of course it's not the U.N.'s money, it's OUR money, so they're free to waste it however they choose.
"Awful" doesn't cut it -- damn POS looks a lot like the inside of Mammoth Cave, KY. Maybe that's what he was trying for . . .

Hey they finally found my second grade art project!!!

This kind of art work/painting is a freudian extension of MoonBats smearing their poopy on their playpen bars and potty walls. I know this because I was one of them and now I am recovering.
Art is for cowards.
The MoonBat artphag says to himself "mommy gov't puhleez come clean my diaper bottom because why should I learn to do it myself when I can pitch a bitchy fit and get others to do it for me".
Dino will be so disappointed when his ObammyMommy takes his $$$ and leaves him unattended in his bouncy play chair with mondo diaper rash. It's starting now and he's crying here now as a troll trying to get us to tend to him.
Dino just needs to know ObammyMommy needs all the $$$ for the inauguration.

Speechless. I think I'll go to the bathroom now.

Just wait til it starts peeling. Gravity's a bitch.

Looks more like inside a cavern with the stalagmites abd stalagtights now all they need is a few spooky creatures like voracious man eating flu-birds and sabertooth bumblebees

Looks like Carlsbad Caverns on acid!
Like.....wow, man!

Yes, it is outrageously priced. I wouldn't give you 23 cents for it. It can be compared to the Sistine Chapel, however. The style of painting, where it looks like it is coming off the canvas, or ceiling, is the same style that Michelangelo used for part of the Sistine. I think that's about the only comparison, though. I wouldn't have that thing in my home if they paid me to take it, unless they offered the 23 million.

That thing looks dangerous. What's keeping it stuck to the ceiling? Not a good room to be in if there's an earthquake or something.
Posted by: Mr Evilwrench at November 20, 2008 7:39 AM
No, this isn't the same style as Michelangelo at all. This is a 3-D POS. Photos of the Sistine ceiling don't do it justice, it's truly amazing.
And what do the Spanish think of this crap?
