@Sean well done that's possibly the most concise example of philistinism I've ever seen.

It *might* be a Piaggio (and they own the Vespa brand) but it isn't any Vespa model I've ever seen.

How about these people tried creating some original art. Simply copying somebody else's work in another format does not, to my mind, comstitute art.

@45 Andre died 18 years ago!

The dog's owner should be reported to the local SPCA.

@Miss Cellania your comment sounds like exactly the sort of thing they'd do in a communist state. What ever happened to the free market the US is so keen on?

@bucky snobbery? Nope. That stuff is boak on a plate. I visited the states once and was fed this stuff as "cheese" in a ham and cheese sandwich. I sent it back because I thought something it had somehow gone bad in a way I didn't know cheese could. When the guy told me that's how it was supposed to be I couldn't believe it.

The taste is weird and unlike any cheese I've ever tasted, but I suppose it's OK. It's the texture that makes you boak. It's like nothing you should put in your mouth.

The point is, however, that there was no snobbery involved in my reaction to the stuff. I didn't know what it was or how it had been made. It just made me boak. The end.
