Now they are just itching to display a portrait of Mohammed made of condoms.

wheres the one of Mohammad ???

[DoodleDawg]

But it’s OK because the artist assures us it’s not meant to be offensive. </sarcasm>

Heading over to ebay to see if all the Confederate flags are banned.

They are.

But I'm sure you can purchase a really nice ISIS or Hamas flag; and there's plenty of Nazi regalia for sell; and a whole lot of Joseph Stalin and Che Guevara merchandise available; and...

You wonder why so many people regard homosexuals as creepy?

[GraceG]

So when do we start beheading the non believers?

Oh wait, I forgot that Christians don’t do that...

So when do we start beheading the non believers?

Oh wait, I forgot that Christians don’t do that........................... Cheer up, there is always the rope, burning at the stake, the rack, and horse drawn.

When will someone do a rendition of Obama and Moodhelle with dildos and butt plugs?

If the museum honchos charge a special admission charge for the special exhibit, which they undoubtedly will do, think of the money to be raked in from the sickos, the curious, the Christian-haters, the liberals/commies/Democrats, the easily sexually-tittilated, scores of well-to-do Milwaukee League of Women Voters members, scads of bored housewives.....plus hordes of tabloid-loving, sensation-seeking cheese-heads.

Always follow the money trail....the low-lifes and brain-dead dummies flocking to see this exhibit will pay enough en masse to fund a goodly part of this amoral museum's budget for the coming year.

How about one each of Mohammad, Obama and Hillary?

"It’s actually not a bad portrait. Wish you hadn’t told me what it was made of."

It's a competent portrait, about what you would expect from a college art major. But - contrary to the claims of the museum director - it is NOT great art or even particularly good art.

And the ONLY reason it was done with condoms was to be offensive and controversial and to get attention. It's highly unlikely the museum would be displaying this piece if it were NOT made of condoms.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Maybe they can make one of Obama.Constructed of all used condoms from San Francisco."

If someone did a portrait of Obama made of deliberately offensive materials - take your pick - there is no way this museum would put it on display.

[Steve_Seattle]

"How about one each of Mohammad, Obama and Hillary?"

Won't happen. Remember the rodeo clown who was fired for wearing an Obama mask? And any disrespectful portrayal of Hillary would be denounced as "sexist" or "anti-woman." As for Mohammed, it's a combination of cowardice and political correctness that would prevent that.

Perfect timing on this. I go to MAM every year, and this year I was planning on going in the coming few days. Will gladly skip it.

[Secret Agent Man]

Takes real guts to hang art offensive to Christians.

It’s been done to death. Cliche to the hilt. Real original.

I’d do a photo pictorial of all the old 50 year old muslim guys sitting next to their 8 and 9 year-old scared wide-eyed “wives” under the title Life Imitates Mohammed.

[Lopeover]

So it is okay to provoke Catholics & Christians but
not Moslems? Sorry, I want to see more Mohammad
cartoon contests!!!!

[West Texas Chuck]

Wait just a cotton pickin’ minute. That is the other Pope, the daid one. They should have made that of Francis.
