View Article  Artist Sets Up Obama/Clinton ‘Assassination’ Show
by Riley Jones on Wed 04 Jun 2008 03:18 PM EDT


NY Times: This morning, a Boston-born performance artist, Yazmany Arboleda, tried to set up a provocative art exhibition in a vacant storefront on West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan with the title, “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama,” in neatly stenciled letters on the plate glass windows at street level. By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape. (See "Related Links" for more images from each of the exhibits.)

Art? ok, its art. But talking about the assassination of political candidates is illegal and I would guess everyone is touchy when the words 'Obama' and 'assassination' appear in the same sentence these days. Anyway, the attached video is captivating in a morbid way, vulgar and completely unsafe for work.- Riley

But surely just plain common sense and good manners will save you, right?

Wrong.

So the only person in France who was man enough to speak out, is a 73 year old woman? And then the frogs fine her for telling the truth? France is doomed.
