5th, lighten up already will you? :) Even I, who wouldn't go near a museum even at gunpoint, know that painting. It is the single most famous painting in history. I think that's what David was referring to ;) And I sense BP took it for granted everybody knows as well.

Another issue is BP's spamming in this topic...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mighty Midget @ May 30 2007, 05:58 PM) [snapback]292173[/snapback]</div>Sure ^_^ !
Thanks for your explanation MM, it was difficult for me :ok:

If I can throw in my two cents....I think this is just a misunderstanding. BP's 'entry' was meant as a joke, and it was pretty funny. No harm done.

Great to see we've got such a hard-working and viligent admin, though. Don't know how you do it, Fifth, but you do the work of five men around here. You're well-named. ;)

Maybe 'Horseman's seriousness is phony that is he's joking as well?

Well, it seems BP's posting got suspended. Sounds like a bit of unwinding could do.

i thought BP was funny.
being that serious, seriousely...it sucks.

I'm still not sure whether to vote for BP or Himmler, hm.

Just please don't tell me he got banned cause of the joke. WTF? Somebody should look things up here.

I understand that BP probably meant to make a joke with it, but I think such a kind of joke is not funny or appropriate here, and fully agree with Horseman there. Making fun with historical artwork for a flat joke, instead of trying to create something beautiful or at least trying to, on his own, is anything other than good.

If I would feel "metaphisical" today, I could say that the joke itself can be considered a portrait of BP :wacko:
However that's just a joke and I hope no one is taking it too seriously.

Talking about the contest, today is the last day to post your entry and tomorrow I'll open the votations poll!

To "some of you", get a grip, please. It was a joke and stop taking everything so goddamn seriously. What's the big deal of involving Mona Lisa in a joke? Nothing. Nothing whatsoever! It's not like it's a religious symbol or anything. It's not sacred, it's a good painting yes, but it is not sacred. Ok, so it's not someone's idea of what's funny, but then again, no joke is funny to everyone. EOD.

BTW: Maybe this should be a split topic. This discussion could continue, but not in this topic.
