Presidential non-contender Barack Obama poses with his newly-appointed Porn Czar/Minister of Depravity, Terry Richardson…

Wow, BARACK, really? A photo with TERRY RICHARDSON? For reals? Never mind it was shot in 2007 for Vibe Magazine, isn’t it funny how it’s making the rounds right now?!? Doesn’t he, like, take photos of people with baseball bats up their asses and naked girls in every state of disgustitude known to man? Did your people REALLY not know who he was when you shot this? Don’t you have two young daughters and a family-values gameplan that the Republicans will shred you to pieces over if they put 2 + 2 together on this one? Besides, hasn’t everyone and their underage cousin been photographed by/with T-Bone at this point? Aren’t you already behind in the polls because of a born-again, right wing Alaskan Hockey Mom’s pro-family, anti-abortion stance? Isn’t the mind of a Middle American voter scary enough without giving them this to figure out? Aren’t you already trailing McCain in the polls after an amazingly advantageous six months in the lead? Isn’t admitting you listen to Jay-Z on a regular basis dangerous enough in a country where the White House could easily double as a church pulpit? Well, it was fun while it lasted, bro. Hope you frame this 8 x 10 for the family piano. Every time you look at it you’ll be reminded of that year you tried to run for president…

NYC///ART HYPE///MR BRAINWASH PERFECTS THE ART OF TURD POLISHING WITH THE OPENING OF “ICONS”

What has to be the final nail in the “Street Art” coffin was driven in last weekend by none other than MR. BRAINWASH (aka: “The Christian Audigier of Street Art”) when he opened his massive, self-produced “Icons” show in a rented space (which, ironically, was once a real art gallery, pre-recession) in the heart of Chelsea. As the subject of Brit Street Art king Banksy’s recent docu-parody film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop,” MBW has been the focus of much hype and speculation as his presence finally seeps into the fairly muddy stream of mainstream consciousness. Last week’s Wall Street Journal article articulated this particularly well:
