Given the whole comparison being made between Obama "poor black man from Chicago" (Yeah, I get it, he is quite wealthy) and Joseph Stalin, I figured that the original post was some sort of swipe against an artist for supporting a politician that mayne emperor jim didnt agree, and then projecting all of his…

I live in East LA. Ask anyone around here if they'd rather stare at the side of an abandoned building with a bunch of gang shit scrawled all over it or one of Fairey's pieces; and I can assure you that they'd rather see Fairey. When you own no property and have to see urban blight and gang tagging everyday, everywhere…

OBEY!
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass; and I'm all out of bubblegum!

Good idea, Jim! Everybody knows that the true value of an artist is how coherent of an economic plan they can formulate! Its totally reasonable to expect Fairey to be very knowledgable about macro-economics. As we all know, the real reason way Picasso is remembered as a genius is not for his silly pictures, but for…

Oh yeah, I cant stand bastards who attempt to artistically reach to the majority of the urban populis who cannot afford either the time or money to go visit an art gallery, where they would be looked down on by snooty no-it-all, know-nothing, scenesters, by printing his art on public spaces! How dare he mar our…

He looks more like a Billy Corgan with hair.

Dude!
Where the fuck is the ZMF!

@Jimmy- Well, you clearly know your stuff, and if I'm anything, its certainly not nuanced (and I must admit, I could have been clearer, but I was supposed to be working at the time). Ultimately, my problem with getting hung-up on "counter-culture" is exactly what you eluded to; counter-cultures inevitably get subsumed…

Ha Ha! Thats sooo funny! Confusing Farely with that hack Will Saso! Hi-larious!

Damn That Farley!
What an asshole for dealing with his childhood low self esteem by honing his natural gift for making people laugh into a successful comedy career! I so resent people like that! What a frat boy!

To Farley's credit, he did alot more funny shit on SNL then Chris Rock ever did:
Matt Foley
The Chris Farley Show (genius stuff, especially the Scorsese interview)
Stormin' Norman Schwrazkopf
Schmidt Gay Beer
The Herlihy Brothers

Dont you idiots realize that there is no such thing as a counterculture? Everybody fancies themselves as indiviualists outside of the "mainstream", but its the mainstream American culture which encourages everbody to be faux-rebels. Theres no political domension to it; both Hannity and Olberman claim to rail against a…

What About "Kramer vs. Kramer"
A death-match between Cosmo Kramer and the MC5's Wayne Kramer.

Anne Frank? But she was deaf and blind. How can she beat Lizzie Borden in a fight? You must be talking about Hellen Keller.

Video game geeks need to get over themselves. Who gives a shit about the story line of a fuckin' fighting game! MVC is about one thing: Wolverine vs. Ken. Thats it! And its fucking fun as hell!

Holy Shit! I've been waiting for someone to mention Deadliest Warrior! Fuckin' Apache vs. Galdiator was balls out awesome! But what the fuck was up with Pirate vs. Knight? The Pirtate's flintlock barely dented the Knights armour, and the other stupid shotgun thing misfired the first time! The Knight's weapns were way…

You know who's pissed- Carson Daly. I'm sure he's wondering why he isnt getting a better time-slot, not that he really deserves it. Still, I remember when I heard that Fallon was going to take Conan's slot and thinking that thats really embaressing for Daly.

Gee, wasnt Conan funny on the Simpsons? And that was all in LA, right?

Pet Shop Boys Announce U.S. Tour-
U.S. Shrugs Shoulders

Well, looking at all of these reviews this seems like a pretty mediocre weekend at the movies.
