[UK] New Piccadilly Circus sign hailed as BRILLIANT (it's not)

kruis

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Actually it's £8 mil, it'll cost an extra mil for hiring a diversity team to put it up, plus the health and safety meetings before and after, oh then theres the safe spaces we'll need to book

It's a big job.

I'm sort of glad the new sign was made by an eighty year old white guy. Now we're at least allowed to savagely criticize it. Imagine if this crap design was made by a non binary PoC n his/her/their/its twenties. Every valid piece of criticism would have been interpreted as harassment, an attack on transgender artists,, hate speech, etc...

If it was made by a nonbinaryliquidfluidtransgenderpreopdeeronweekendsbutmostlyjustintergalacticsexuallynotinterestedinwhitemen-person, the painter would be on Opera and Ellen and probably even get a shoutout from the president on how amazing the art is, how it really shows "the man" to fuck off and how brave one must be to take this stand against the tyranny of evil white men. Probably looking at a nobel prize or two.

The sign is ugly as hell, 7mil is a fucking joke and anyone being on the board of approving this shit should be "spaced" (like they do to people in The Expanse).

I flit between finding the idea of an ‘independent’ Scotland hilarious, to wanting the North of England to join them and become one country. I’m deadly serious. If Sturgeon wasn’t such a mad cow, determined to run in to the arms of the EU, I’d fully back the latter idea. The South may as well be on a different planet as far as I’m concerned.

Hmm

Too much effort, wasted time on "commercialism"

Not simplistic enough, doesn't convey the message that "anyone can do an art"

Ugh, talent, and attention to detail blech...where is the "I shat it out in 5 seconds" appeal?

After evaluating...no it is not art and you should feel ashamed for even putting yourself in the presence of this "brilliant masterwork" shame...and shame again.
