Today in monkey news
A portrait of President Bush using monkeys to form his image led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests on Monday over freedom of expression....
"We had tons of people, like more than 2,000 people show up for the opening on Thursday night," said show organizer Bucky Turco. "Then this manager saw the piece and the guy just kind of flipped out. 'The show is over. Get this work down or I'm gonna arrest you,' he said. It's been kind of wild."
Things would be so much better if people would stick to making Conservative Art.

Posted by: the drunken cheerleader at December 14, 2004 01:39 PMAre there prints of that painting for sale? Because I would totally buy one.
the mistake made here was that Bush's face didn't magically appear in a random collection of monkeys. if it had, the front doors to this gallery would have been overrun with people comparing the image to Jesus on their tortillas. no one knows how to incite proper fanaticism anymore.
