Three people rang in to nominate Bono as 'Friday fuckwit' and one of the three reasons was simply hysterical: the caller said that he'd been to one of U2's recent Aus concerts and at one point Bono, addressing the masses, starts clapping slowly and says: "everytime I clap a child in Africa dies". Some heckler near the front yelled out: "Stop clapping then!" Bono got really pissed off.<BR/><BR/>If that moment was documented in a Mastercard advert (if RED ever join the ranks alongside Amex) it would surely be worthy of being dubbed "Priceless".<BR/><BR/>Skanky Jane's recent comment regarding the suspected harness and pony shoes. Sounds good - very Helmut Newton (like that classic image of the woman riding a sofa with a riding crop). If indeed the model in the Amex (RED) ad is wearing the harness and pony shoes it suggests she's probably been riding some well-worn cultural cliches: namely the noble savage one that features black men and big cocks. <BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for the amazing comments!Artswipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496402157806129465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162947876762430842006-11-08T12:04:00.000+11:002006-11-08T12:04:00.000+11:00I know my eyesight aint what it used to be ...but ...I know my eyesight aint what it used to be ...but does anyone else see that white model there as wearing a harness under her skirt and pony girl shoes on her feet?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Must just be me...<I>surely</I>.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>SJ xxSkanky Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752592378838760626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162942589868935182006-11-08T10:36:00.000+11:002006-11-08T10:36:00.000+11:00i think symbolism is universal, it just doesn't ha...i think symbolism is universal, it just doesn't have longevity in modern (or god forbid, post modern) times.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926021946906879693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162910082475482642006-11-08T01:34:00.000+11:002006-11-08T01:34:00.000+11:00Great post (again) Artswipe."that Africa is a mono...Great post (again) Artswipe.<BR/><BR/>"that Africa is a monocultural mess waiting for Westerners to come and clean it up"<BR/><BR/>For me that 'bout sums it up! <BR/><BR/>Now, I may be wandering a bit, but seeing as it <I>is</I> colour we are talking about and that colour pertains to race - I just thought I'd throw a bit of tint in the pot with a reminder that the Egyptians, Morrocans, and Libyans (all Africans) are "whites". Dark skinned whites, but "white" nonetheless because they are, racially, 'Caucasian'.<BR/><BR/>The Ethopians too are "gradients" with a lot of "Caucasian" as in "Arab" colouring the racial mix.<BR/><BR/>Up until 1860 or so, in the US, a person who was 1/16th "black" was considered "negroid". <BR/><BR/>Seems there are racial, ethnic, social, cultural, and geographic dimensions to this colour wheel.<BR/><BR/>SJxxSkanky Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752592378838760626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162847967086588452006-11-07T08:19:00.000+11:002006-11-07T08:19:00.000+11:00Pardon me; but as you rightly pointed out charity ...Pardon me; but as you rightly pointed out charity begins at home.

Being an artist who is primarily concerned aesthetically with red, and having researched the psychological theory behing red (not (RED)), i can see why they've jumped on the red wagon (which was obviously started by me and she sees red first, but i'm not going to pout about it). <BR/><BR/>Red is a marketing colour from way back. According to colour psychologists, it's about passion,love, attraction and repulsion. So is addiction. i agree, see under Maccas, Coke and KFC. <BR/><BR/>And as well as that, since pink has become the new black as far as charitable identification goes, red ribbons have had to evolve into a brand experience. A little like the 'i'd rather go naked than wear fur' shirts that all the gals were wearing a while ago.<BR/><BR/>And, unfortunately, like upholding ethical fashion practices on the catwalk, it will all fizzle out in a few year's time when the next new black has come along with a new PR company and a new poster boy/girl.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926021946906879693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162771134271929522006-11-06T10:58:00.000+11:002006-11-06T10:58:00.000+11:00crikey i love how you bought all that together art...crikey i love how you bought all that together artswipe - brilliant - <BR/><BR/>it is the reason why capitalism's phoney platitudes are really just devices to make us go shopping<BR/><BR/>there was an american artist's project i came across on the internet that was responding to george w bush's plea to not let 9/11 effect the american economy because that woudl be letting the enemy win - and to keep spending for strong economic growth - (mmm sounds alot like john howard) - don't let anything stop you from this actitivity of consuming stuff.<BR/><BR/>so this artist just sat in a gallery with his credit card machine and people could pay him whatever they wanted - <BR/><BR/>of course the viewer must have seriously questioned whether an "Artist" deserved to get all this 'free' money but i wonder how many transferred that scepticism onto the shrinking number of global companies that are making billions of dollars profit - for stuff they make you think you should replace in 12 months - i mean the whole thing is horrible<BR/><BR/>when people are really rich - what is there left to buy - art of course!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30033206.post-1162758640060045262006-11-06T07:30:00.000+11:002006-11-06T07:30:00.000+11:00What a marvelous comment, gricegrocers.

Like Coke, Pepsi or Maccas. They're the ultimate brands. <BR/><BR/>Admittedly, for Artswipe, pop culture junk food is more appetising than the kind you're supposed to stick in your mouth.Artswipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496402157806129465noreply@blogger.com
