RIP Thomas Kinkade

[fnord]

I can see his work actually being worth something now

Same thing was probably said about Dali, that didn't happen obviously.

ISO cheap dali OG?

exploiting the weakness of the misinformed in the name of profit.

embodiment of how people aren't healthy.

C'mon meow. You know I meant Lithos not OGs.

My gf's parents have a few of his works. They know I collect art so I fear the awkwardness when they ask me how much they'll be worth now and I have to say something like, "a bag of doorknobs."

Hey, watch it. I'm here to tell you that depending on the contents of the bag, those doorknobs could be worth a LOT more than a Kinkade or two. The collector's market for nineteenth century bronze figural pieces is insane. I started collecting at swap meets as a kid, got priced out of the hobby, and got into prints instead.

So, how'd he die?

why do you feel compelled to defend the capitalist system ?

Same reason you won't miss a chance to bash it. I'm an asshole!

while that was funny....it didn't work. it's flawed logic and my circuits reject such nonsense.

now watch me as i troll myself into wasting time.

you assume the reason i bash capitalism is because i'm an asshole, but you're mistaken. it's because i'm tired of assholes being assholes via the accepted method of assholery: capitalism.

in context, substituting "people" in place of "capitalism" is like substituting a computer for an operating system.

we need a new operating system, even assholes would agree.

[fredo]

It is not mine but YOUR logic that is faulty! You assumed that I was calling you an asshole when I was actually calling me an asshole in both contexts.
I believe they call that a triple Lindy.

So, how'd he die?

he sucked down on too many farts.
