I have criticized such art to lovers of such art and always get the question — “Well, could you do it?” I am not an artist but, yes, I probably could do it, but I wouldn’t.
One of my favorites is in the St. Louis Art Museum. It’s five nails hammered into the wall and wire strung between them in the shape of home plate. I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and you can imagine the dirty looks I got.
Don't know how, but I must have missed that episode for some reason. 8>)
Yeah but you have to do the “voice”
That’s a classic Episode.
Kramer and his intern .
Geeze I’m busting a gut just thinking of it
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
If they did, I’d watch.
They should have the Mueller device from Alias season 4 episode 22 - Before the Flood
Now THAT was a giant evil red ball.

Is anything made like they used to be made? I can’t think of anything.
I remember seeing that movie in grammar school. I was so sad when the balloon died. I still get a twinge thinking about it after all these years.
Modern Art:
The product of the untalented,
Sold by the unscrupulous,
To the unknowing!
One of the goofier but fun hire ones. Kramerika.


Can't believe that one, they paid someone to make it and two, that it's been allowed to stay there for decades
People were talking about the show, but I had never watched it. So, perhaps I missed it before that show aired. But even on reruns I never saw that one.
Great toy for the sea lions.
Ripped off from Target.
