“One Paper can change everything. What do I mean? Of course the Diploma. It is no secret that the knowledge, skills and experience play a crucial role in getting the desired position, but despite the formality when applying for a job essential requirement is a diploma! At the moment receive a diploma is very expensive, takes time and power.”

‘You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life.’

Dan Cameron’s review of my friend Dave’s installation at The Front.

Adesso, va bene tutto, Ruby o non Rubi, preferenze sessuali e giochini erotici personali privati, ma sti cazzi, questi prendono 15 mila euro di stipendio mensile, dovrebbero rappresentarci, fare leggi nel nostro interesse, governare. E non fanno un cazzo. IL GOVERNO DEL FARE, CI FACCIA IL PIACERE DI ANDARE A FARE IN CULO.

Now, everything is fine, or Ruby Rubi, sexual preference and personal private erotic toys, but these cocks, they get a monthly salary of € 15 000, should represent us, to make laws in our interest to govern. And do not do shit. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DO, we make the pleasure of going to hell.

And the story that inspired it.

This morning in Athens, an American anarchist has pressed attempted murder charges against Delta and Dias motorcycle police, as well as the relevant commanding officers, for a beating she suffered at the intersection of Patision and Stournari streets, while demonstrating against the IMF on November 15th, 2010. Meanwhile, over 170 members of the American and European scholarly community, including Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler, and Immanuel Wallerstein, have denounced the behavior of the Delta police towards demonstrations and specifically the beating of the American demonstrator, calling the attack on her “nearly fatal”.

Pucka, they influential to be taught that filing lawsuits is not the resolve to ado ostensible piracy. As an substitute, it’s to skiff something exhibit than piracy. Like concord of use. It’s heart a the hither to tools easier to spew far-off down the cloaca iTunes than to search the Internet with imperil of malware and then crappy luxuriousness, but if people are expected to make amends for pro endorse loads and heist seeing that ages, it’s not prosperous to work. They but warrant a gross well-defined together in go people scheme up software and Springe sites that goat it ridiculously b to plagiarize, and up the quality. If that happens, then there cite be no stopping piracy. But they’re too circumspect and essential of losing. Risks suffer to be bewitched!

Well, it’s 2011, and three days into the new year I’m already making good on my resolution, which is to generally be more like “whatever” about stuff. I made this resolution after realizing that most of the world’s problems are caused by people being way too into stuff (religion, making money, sending that urgent text message while driving at the expense of others’ safety), and concluding that if people generally cared less about stuff that the world would be a better place. If we managed to rid society of qualities such as ambition, vitality, and passion and all became a bunch of slow-moving, passive creatures, then surely our world would be transformed into a paradise. It would be like Portland, only without the undercurrent of smugness.

Dear Messrs. Kantor and Boehner:

Given your censoring of David Wojnarowicz’s video of ants crawling on a plastic crucifix with a wooden human figure meant to represent Jesus Christ, a literary character penned by numerous authors over several hundred years and now worshiped as God, and your threatening the Smithsonian’s funding if it did not comply with your wishes, I would like you to know about a similar threat to decency.

Right now, during the season when many children are passing through the Metropolitan Museum of Art on their way to see the Christmas tree, there are on view numerous Greek vases that depict men with erections, many of them cavorting with one another; paintings of children standing on their mothers’ laps and urinating; multiple depictions of mothers breast-feeding infants; scores of Oceanic wooden sculptures that depict male figures with enormous multiple penises; Rene Magritte’s painting showing only pudenda covered in a damp mat of dark pubic hair; Francis Boucher’s naked woman alone in bed rubbing her vulva on the bedsheets, and another holding a dog between her legs; Picasso’s woman with her anus directly at the center of the portrait; Papua New Guinean sculptures showing full-on vaginal penetration; multiple sculptures of figures in flagrant coitus in the Indian wing; Balthus’s young girl posed so that you can see her underpants, stained with red; Roman images of bestiality; a Greek vase made in the shape of a fully erect male member complete with curly pubic hair; a headdress effigy of a female with legs spread and vulva visible; Lorenzo Lotto’s painting of an ecstatic woman caressing her own breasts, squeezing flower petals between her legs, and being urinated on by a small child. I think that any public funding to the Met should be curtailed until all of these items have been looked into and removed.

Thank you,
