Britain’s cultural life is under attack again. The British Museum is hosting this disgusting waste of time and money, as part of an exhibition called “Statuephilia.”

Siren, and its "creator" Mark Quinn

Siren, and its 'creator' Mark Quinn

Mark Quinn, the apparently ill artist, expects this monstrosity to sell for £10 million. Said to be the largest gold statue made since ancient Egypt, it is made from 50kg of 18 carat gold.

It’s Kate Moss, by the way.

Melt it down.

    Now, if that were Gordon Brown or Peter Mandelson then it might be worth something – say 10p !

    Yes, melt it down. It’s the only answer – or, alternatively … we can become energy alchemists and turn it into a lump of sugar that melts instantly in some form of liquid (our imaginations know no bounds so think “The Pisser” by Rembrant). After all, how dare the natural resource gold be a gain from melting down the abomination – when certainly the alchemy of our brain’s capacity to think a better thought than this, is certain. I cannot stand the American art scene since it has only gone from horrible to rotted and dead, it has been sickening since the artists were all basically a Rockefeller money venture.

    But, then, what do we expect when Arthur DOVE was pre-Kandinsky and yet the US has NEVER acknowledged the true “father of abstract” (so weird that Kandinsky saw a show in Germany of ISLAM’s “object only” paintings and this is what inspired him — as well as Cezanne’s work as he developed the object over subject in abstract expressionism, and but of course color). I digress.

    The so-called “rich” people of planet earth have reached critical mass in overindulgence and it is clear what the toxicity is — pond scum. It always rises to the top.

    Now, there are those (Arthur Dove, Vassily Kandinsky, et al.) who are obviously rising stars at the top of our species, shining for all to see how genuinely magnificent creative genius is.

    Therein lies the rub. The so-called “rich leaders” of planet earth do not have even one atomic particle of common sense, let alone creative genius.

    Several answers came to mind when I saw the top half of this ‘thing’ – let alone the bottom half which I just saw at your highly esteemed site:

    1 So that’s who Gordy sold all the gold to.

    2 Statue caption: “Kate Moss about to stick her head up her arse” – where the ptb
    hope the rest of our yoof will stick theirs, as their parents did before them, so they
    don’t realise their futures are being stolen.

    3 Romans 1:25 (KJV) “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
    served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.

    4 “Kate Moss retrieves coke ’stash’ as she manages to clear customs
    undetected.”

    5 Kate Moss listens to her inner voice via the Gordon Brown method…..

    oops – I thought his name read Mark Quim – but on second glance realised it was Mark Quinn. I was right at first glance ehh!

    Cut it in half and place the halves in two separate tanks of formaldehyde and place another tank between the two tanks in the area of her head and attach a vaccum pump to the middle tank. Better still get M Quim and Damien Hirst to drink the formaldehyde and copious amounts of alcohol so they’re both half cut, put them in 2 separate glass tanks seal them and attach the vacuum pumps.

    Sorry I’m drunk!
    I retract everything I have written except the first 2 paragraphs.
