It’s enough to wipe the smile off her face.

A pair of climate-change activists hurled pumpkin soup at the Mona Lisa on Sunday at the Louvre Museum in Paris as onlookers gasped, shocking new video shows.

“What is more important?” the crazed activists shouted in French. “Art or the right to have a healthy and sustainable food system?”

The two nuts are members of the activist group called “Riposte Alimetaire,” or Food Response, which issued a statement saying the stunt was meant to highlight the need to protect the environment.

It seems so obvious, doesn’t it.

Some people just look for a reason to destroy…

Absolutely nothing.

“with cans of soup.”

No cans ...

Ditto to what you posted.

"SOME people should do SOMEthing."

I suggest tying to a post and caning. I think it would at lease get their attention.

[Bullish]

This type of ‘activism’ does nothing to help their so-called cause. They just like to act like stupid little pricks flipping the bird to society, I guess.

This is a crime against humanity, in the most literal sense. There’s no hyperbole in saying so.

well that’s what they are ...

...Then a phantom voice within the museum could be heard saying “Ha, ha, I made you blink!”

They choose famous art so people will pay attention to them. They would not bother with vandalizing Joe Schmoe’s art, or, for that matter, graffiti in Harlem.

Pumpkin soup??? Mona Lisa always struck me as a beef and barley kinda gal.

Minestrone....

I remember decades ago when some nut threw a bottle of India Ink at the Mona Lisa. He missed.

Remember the nutcase who took a hammer to Michelangelo’s Pieta? Should have hung him on the spot.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Surely there is an art lover out there somewhere who would be willing to slap the piss out of these two homos.

Let’s all settle down.
If we lose the Mona Lisa and the other works of da Vinci and those of Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Cezanne and the rest, we will still have today’s masters like Hunter Biden.

Fair point, that’s probably more like it.
