1. The frame was very thick, so the shredder was probably built into it and ran on batteries.
2. Most likely, remote controlled by someone in the audience. Less likely, audio activated by the sound of the auctioneers gavel (actually much less likely).

I had a chance +-14 years ago to grab a bunch of Banksy stuff that was painted on metal panels and left in a field next to where I worked at the time after a rock video shoot that was supposedly for friends of his in a band.

Those panels were out there, strapped to a fence for months and months while I mused about the…

Every year or so I rewatch Exit Through The Gift Shop and get reminded that Banksy rules. His art has always been pretty good and interesting but that is really his masterpiece. This is funny, too.

Sorry to hear about your experiences, and thanks for sharing them. I’m tired of Jez promoting harmful bullshit just because a woman is involved in it - women are just as capable of sexual abuse or facilitating that abuse as men, including in porn. 

Thank you for telling your story, and reminding the writer of the real-world impact of their cool girl bullshit. This used to be a feminist site, but lately it seems it’s swamped with male commenters and the writers use ‘feminist’ in the marketing sense rather than actually promoting the advancement of women’s rights. …

...I wish I could say something that could at least help alleviate some of your pain.

Fuck this person. What an asshole. As a survivor of incest, fauxcest porn DISGUSTS me because it promotes and normalizes incest. I could barely read this article so I don’t know what sort of shit she’s doing, but a lot of it on the front page of pornhub is like “brother coerces sister to suck his dick so he won’t tell…

I’m a straight woman of color and my dad sexually abused me. Let me spell out to you what incest meant to me. I can remember only a very few moments of my childhood ever being happy. There are no childhood photos of me smiling. I spent much of my childhood in my bed, under a blanket, crying. I was completely…

But but its her “choice”so it must be feminist. You are just kink/body/sex etc. shaming. And you probably have vanilla sex sex too. Because don’t you know jez is a cool girl?

This is not something to be celebrated. She’s not any kind of “empowered woman breaking barriers” in her industry. Rather, she’s exploiting the fact that she’s a woman as some sort of palliative to sell this otherwise unmarketably exploitive trash, which, while it evidently has a market, doesn’t make it any more worth…

As always, when the headline asks a question, the answer is “no”.

She does have a face to go with the vulva, if anyone is curious.

She was lacking both a head and a name, reduced to salacious parts without identity. That doesn’t sound like “dignity” to me.

I’d always hoped it was Joanna Hiffernan, if only because I am perpetually amused by the madonna-whore complex exhibited in how different artists painted that model. For Whistler she was the virginal girl in white, for Courbet she was a naked lesbian. Knowing both those images are the same woman makes them infinitely…

I could not be happier that Slimane is finally getting called out for the derivative poseur he’s always been. If he wants to do the same look he’s known for and only that look, he should just open his own label. Why recycle his greatest hits...at Céline?

Going to be tough in this family.  The shit doesn’t fall far from the bat.

Wow. It’s exactly the same. Why doesn’t he start his own label instead of ruining well established ones? This is a travesty. He keeps designing for MisShapes’ parties of yore, an incredibly niche market/look...

THEN TEACH YOUR SONS TO NOT BE RAPISTS! IT’S THAT FUCKING SIMPLE!

Well thankfully his divorce arrangements (from the ex-wife he cheated on whilst she was pregnant, just like the top bloke he is) should hopefully limit the time he can spend corrupting his children.

After this, and what he said about women needing to stay out of the workplace if they can’t “handle it”, AND basically his entire history...I’m scared for his daughters.
