Vandals Break In To Boson Museum of Find Art - Attached Arms to Venus de Milo - Put Googly Eyes on Christ


The outraged director of Boson Museum of Find Art has announced that late Saturday night or early Sunday morning miscreants had broken in to the museum's West Wing and spray painted slogans and painted mustaches on a number of paintings, and that the museum's copy of Venus de Milo had arms attached to her.  Because of the COVID-19 crisis the museum has fewer guards. 

Dr. Farid Pazhoohi, who is married to Mayor Welsh's sister, has been Director of the Museum for a decade.  Under his leadership the museum has acquired a number of 'reproductions' of famous art works as a way to fill up the museum and attract more visitors.  Art critics complained that the museum was not showing original works, and a few museums whose works were copied sued for copyright infringement.

"How can you copyright art that has been plundered from other countries?" the director famously said.  "Do imperialist thieves get to 'own' the ideas that steal?"

Boson Museum of Find Art prevail in that case as courts ruled that since the Greek and Roman art from antiquity was not copyrighted at the time the works had entered the public domain.  The case also gave the museum wide publicity.  People sought out the museum because of the vast collection of works that the average person could not tell apart from the 'real' or original work.

Art critics complain that the works can not bring the 'transformation' that art is supposed to bring to a viewer unless they are looking at the original work, not a copy.

"What's the difference, " one museum goer asked.  "The 'experts' have to say things like that or they would be out of their phony baloney snob jobs." 

The irreverent vandals also targeted religiously themed works with 'googly' eyes.


Not only Christian art, but a representation of Mohamed (Peace Be Upon Him).


The Islamic Society of Boson noted that no one should make a representation in graphic form of Mohamed, or, indeed, any living thing that Allah (God) has created. The penalty for such an action in violation of Islamic beliefs is, of course, beheading.

Even the Baby Jesus was not spared the blasphemous desecrations.

Boson Police have pointed out that Massachusetts still has Blasphemy Laws on the books and they may be utilized if the miscreants can be identified from video files from security cameras.

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life. ...

'Trigger Warnings' for 19th Century Art? - Boson Museum of Find Art Features William Blake (Arts Boson) 2 Oct 2019

Image
In Boson's only 'fine art' museum, has reportedly found it necessary to warn visitors about a newly opened exhibition of copies of prints by William Blake.   “The art of William Blake contains strong and sometimes challenging imagery, including some depictions of violence and suffering,” the warning says. The placard advises distressed art lovers to seek out museum staff if they require further explanations . The museum regularly 'mirrors' the world renowned Tate Museum in London by displaying high quality copies of whatever the Tate Museum is featuring.   Museum curator Hugh Tate, who is from the UK and claims his cousin works at The Tate, said that museum goers can't tell the difference between a very expensive original graphic art work, and an accurate copy commissioned by the Museum of Find Art.  "So, why pay all the money for the original?" Hugh Tate said.   "If a painting is going to 'change your life,' a faithf...
