this piece of shit work of "art" is retarded, it means nothing and it belongs in the garbage
It's not even actually offensive or daring because who fucking cares about offending christians
not a single one of these faggots ever do anything that might offend jews or muslims because they're all pussies
have your (you), enjoy your stupid bait thread

>an art connoisseur
>can't see beyond manifest

>Take a classical image
>Paint over it with garish modern symbols
Yup, that's modern art

>>3770129
Much wow.
Now let's see them do it with Mo porking his underage loli and/or goat. That would be groundbreaking. But no, they're too fond of their heads staying attached to their necks.

>>3770132
>make some modern piece that shit on jews and muslims
>wow so good, now this is true art
Such hypocrisy.

>>3770218
Why? The whole point of this kind of modern art is to make some shock statement, but they never actually go for a shock statement.
It would still be shit and not even considered art, but at least it would be a shock statement

If I were one of these hacks and I had to do some christian bashing garbage like the same piece of shit in the OP I'd do, I dunno, a skinhead Jesus Christ with a big swastika tattoo on his chest, at least it would be edgy cause swastikas are inherently offensive
But the fucking mcdonalds clown is fucking nothing

>A sculpture of Ronald McDonald nailed to a cross — a spoof of the crucifixion of Jesus — has sparked violent protests in Israel, with rioters hurling a firebomb at the museum.
>Hundreds of Christians calling for the removal of the sculpture, entitled "McJesus," demonstrated at the museum in the northern city of Haifa last week.
>Israeli police say rioters hurled a firebomb at the museum and threw stones that wounded three police officers.

Convince me that it's meaningful

What about a regular Jesus on a cross, but his loincloth has fallen and he's got a massive, veiny erect cock?

I could sell that as the clash of values in the West, how Christians are actually really promiscuous and everyone consumes pornography or some shit like that

>>3770275
I guess people are more easily offended than I thought, this shit looks so fucking safe and bland to me

The reason people are so angry isn't because it's blasphemous or shocking. It's hard to shock people now, and it usually comes across as ridiculous when you try to. People are angry because it's a declaration of a very common hypocrisy amongst Christians to conflate wealth and corporatism with religion. You never make people this angry unless it's a truth they don't like.

>23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

>25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

>26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The public response actually made it a good artwork. High Art. Beauty of truth and all.

All they did was shittily paint a sculpture they didn’t make. There’s no skill involved. Just a memey idea. This is the reason modern art isn’t respected by artisans.

>>3770518
I'll say this more plainly: the artist told a lot of christians that Jesus himself said they are going to hell and they knew it was true. That made them go apeshit.

>>3770518
This board isn't lost yet.

I see this thread is filled with a whole bunch of atheist faggots, that will find out sooner or later what hell is really like enjoy your eternal hellfire cocksuckers.

>>3770518
fair but its still lazy and derivative. That retard Banksy used Ronald and Micky photoshoped in the famous napalmed girl photo. Piss Christ was a cheap plastic cross in urine. It was tat to fleece the holy yet the it was treated as an insult to the entirety of the religion.

I partly agree. It's a very simply done work. Any of us could have painted it. And it struck a raw nerve amongst viewers, meaning it was poignant and precise for the time and place. My argument is that this relationship between the work and the audience cemented it as being a legitimately significant artwork. This is not the same as contemporary abstract works that have elites sniffing each other's farts. Sometimes simple visual arithmetic is brilliant.

>McJesus
The name sold me.

>secular atheist trying to use scripture to pwn Christians
>passage literally says "God can save anyone, even a rich guy"

1st worlder. Most of humanity are poor, live in failed, shitholes & are in hell. Why do you think religion is so popular? Because everybody is enjoying their lives on this planet? No because they need to believe there will be something better after this life.

I am a holy man. Jesus Christ most definitely had a sense of humor. I think the artwork is great.

> consumerism has eaten our spirituality
It's been done.
