No one beheaded though?
good!
So they’ve taken a page out of the Muzzie playbook, eh? I’m sure they weren’t expecting passive Christians to do something like this.
There is no loss here. Besides, this is France ~ if somebody needs a replacement piece they've got a lot of that.
Sounds like they enhanced the exhibit.
They didn’t smash it, they ‘broke it down into its alloidal components to unlock the subtext of the piece’.
Give them a grant.
I suppose the “artist” can always make another one
Awesome !!
Finally! God Bless them for standing up for an important part of our civilization.
Good. We need these types of people for the Crusades.
The bishops and the avant garde art world need to forget their quarrel and join forces against this common enemy! [/sarcasm]
So basically, they broke open the glass and let the piss spill out? Sounds like they knew their upcoming holiday, also known as Easter, pretty well. It’s about time someone liberated s symbol of Christ from the filth of this world.
Message to the museum: We’re still here, and we’re still kickin’.
Vive La France! Charles Martel would be proud.
I like this news. About time.
Further, the notion that the proper function of artistic expression is to shock, disorient, and deconstruct rather than to ennoble, explain and elevate is a product not of artistic aspiration, but of political theory.
I am not a great fan of anyone destroying anyone else's personal property for any reason (aside from what occurs during war waged against an aggressor). But in this instance, it is at least arguable that the object in question contains little or no intrinsic value, and further constitutes the expression of nothing more than "fighting words" - an intentional insult with no deeper meaning or purpose than what is obvious to an objective viewer.
Good job, I say, and way to show Christian restraint. If it had been "P*** Mohammed", jihad whack jobs would have beheaded everyone, burned the joint to the ground, and built a mosque over it.

The so-called “intellectual elites” praise Serrano’s work and call it “art,” and then everyone wonders why a troubled young man can stand in front of a small crowd at a coffee shop in Bend Oregon for Open Mic Night and stab himself to death while the audience cheers the “performance art.” Only too late did they realize that they were actually witnessing a suicide. “Intellectualism” is in a very sad state, indeed.
Not destroyed.
Deconstructed.
Bien. Bien. Merci.
