Art Show in LA closed by Police

Seriously. Unless someone out there can disprove this as urban legend, this is utterly unbelievable. Wait, not unbelievable... in fact, what a perfect conclusion to such a show. Thanks for the heads-up on this to [livejournal.com profile] supergee.

Read all about it:
Art Show in LA closed by Police.

The art show page is here.

Y'know that stuff I occasionally spout about not being afraid of governments but the corporations, instead? Well, I was wrong. Once corporations take over our governments, we are in a world of hurt. And this is Bush/Cheney's agenda. Take a look at our future, folks. Scary. You better be working for the right company when corporate control of our government becomes blatant and widely accepted. Wear your corporate logo tattoo plainly and proudly!

G'damn.

I will keep my ear to the ground out here in the OC for more on this. As of yet there is nothing about it in the local papers.

BTW--have you read Jennifer Government by Max Barry? It is right along these lines as well. Very fast paced and more surface than interior--like Stephenson without the info dumps.

Oh, yeah, and I voted for it as one of my faves of the year for last year's Campbell Award (http://www.ku.edu/~sfcenter/campbell.htm).

Is there any wonder I grind my teeth in my sleep and swear far too much?

Where is your iconic hero when we need him?

Well, I'm confident that once I find the telepathic twins, we'll be well on our way to the crushing, fire-breathing, and general all-around Payback Timeyness.

Artists are terrorists. Didn't you know?

Oh, that's right! Stalin used to say that all the time, but did the Americans listen? Noooooo! They just ignored the big commie bastahd. If only they'd listened, we'd be safe from the dangers of Art.

Artists are also commies.
