I don't see the connection either, but I was curious if they chose Heinz tomato sauce for a reason...other than it was what mommy had in the pantry.

Well they did glue themselves to the wall afterward... Try to get some meaning out of that action too....  :shrug:

They should have left the little turds glued to the wall, hell they should have added glue and left them there as a new exhibit 'Two Stupid Asses'.

Did they super glue themselves to the wall? Seems to me that super glue is dissolved with acetone and acetone is made from petroleum products I would love to be the one telling them the only way to become unglued is by using...oil!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
While I am not a Van Gough fan - Really, a decently inspired 10 year old could do as well - But that aside, what does Van Gough or sunflowers have to do with oil companies?

I fail to see the connection here.  :shrug:

Just a**holes being a**holes, says here.
Well, it IS an oil painting....

but Van Gogh used cottonseed and linseed oils to make his paints.

The duo were supporters of the activist group Just Stop Oil, which engages in publicity stunts to bring the public’s attention to climate change.

But my bet is they were trying to draw attention to the group. You can't turn around on an empty football field without running into some mention of "climate change". It isn't as if people aren't aware of the pseudo-issue.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh, the irony...

At the foundation of this new, and truly super, glue, is a new type of molecule that combines a protein (tropoelastin) with a family of petrochemical derivatives called methacrylates. Methacrylates are made from acetone, which begins with the petrochemical building blocks propylene and benzene.

That's damn well right - But I still don't get it... It makes no sense. And i mean that literally.

A Buddhist monk sets himself on fire to protest war atrocities and the inhumanity of man - Well there's a logic to it. there is a sort of linear reasoning. A fairly final and unhelpful solution -  but a helluva statement, and I get it.

Old painting. Sunflowers, Heinz ketchup, Glue.

Because greedy oil companies.

 :wtf: :banging:

Why'd you paint your hair green?
Because strawberries.
HUH?

There ain't no there there.
It's just stupid.

Media Matters and the entire MSM is a leftist cult 10X worse than the Envirowhackos.

Everyone knows that Envirowhackos are fringe Socialist and they don't apologize for it.

The MSM makes themselves out as the centralist voice of reason, and it makes them that more dangerous for that deception.
