Weapon of Art

This t-shirt depicts art supplies and tools arranged in the shape of a gun. It's an interesting bit of social commentary.

Yea, verily!

I have a t-shirt that was made to protest the U.S. Forestry Service logging national forests. It has the pine tree sawn down. The USFS sued the artist for making that image. The presiding judge declared the art to be legitimate parody ... and told the USFS that if they didn't want to be parodied in that manner, they hadn't ought to "manage" the forests in a way that would inspire people to such parody.

I actually got a poem on that topic out of a previous fishbowl.

Right up there with "Never anger a bard, for they are not at all subtle and people remember funny songs."

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.
