Climate protesters throw tomato soup on Van Gogh painting

Arutz Sheva ^

Idiotic posturing, non-sequitur nonsense masquerading as compassion. Couldn't they just buy someone a hot meal that needs it? But no. They gotta give poor old Van Gogh an earful.

Did the protesters mess up the painting/artist they were against? Would have thunk for soup, would be Andy Warhol.

The gallery statement contradicts the Israeli National News headline:

"Two anti-oil activists deface priceless Van Gogh "Sunflowers" painting at London's National Gallery with tomato soup."

"According to the gallery, the painting was under glass and not damaged."

What needs to be happened is that somebody does a pile drive on them and then somebody on a jury refuses to convict.

“They gotta give poor old Van Gogh an earful.”

Given the facts about Van Gogh that is very funny.

[Eleutheria5]

They meant to deface it, but it was under glass. Even if it wasn’t, Tomato Soup is water-based, so cannot penetrate an oil painting.

What needs to happen is a thorough thrashing, and ambulances to clean up the mess.

Those worthlrss scum will be getting a visit from the Doctor and Amy...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Oh...that Van Gogh. He was such a bad example with his SUV and private jet wreaking so much havoc on...no...wait. Nevermind.

No

Their ashes need to be dumped at sea

What is it with these people gluing themselves to walls and street surfaces?

Would it not be better to just add more glue to them and leave them for about a week or so?

[PortugeeJoe]

I would cut their hands off to free them from the wall - that’s the least they deserve for being morons.

[Huskrrrr]

Obviously their parents failed to give the protestors a swift kick in the pants when they were kids.

[Hyman Roth]

But no. They gotta give poor old Van Gogh an earful.

I see what you did there.

BTTT

[Eleutheria5]

Give them a sex change operation and then hang them up by their new cojones?

[Eleutheria5]

Did you confuse him with John Kerry again?

[volunbeer]

Yep.

Stunts like this, tearing down statues, blocking highways, burning down businesses, and conducting sit-ins to disrupt offices will not change opinion on their “issue” but it certainly influences opinions about them.
