There’s nothing at all funny, clever, or creative about this. It is chilling to think that there are both ignorant, racists & mysoginists as well as powerful promoters of the status-quo, that would like to see this occur.
you people are disgusting…what kind of hatred enables a gallery to put up this horrible work.
What’s the difference between this and the “documentary” created not too long ago about Bush being assassinated? Not much. And there was NO outrage about that. Curious.
What in god’s name … a giant black male organ? Wow what a bozo. Stick to architecture from now on.
Well said Aaron. OTher than the fact that it wouldn’t be funny even if they weren’t finding the pot of gold if you know what I mean.
So how many school aged children were waiting in line at the Statue of Liberty when the perverts brought in the giant penis?
I think the original video was changed. LOL The video now shows a giant shlong touring the city. OWNED!
I got this message:
“Your comment is awaiting moderation.”
So they can show a giant weiner, but I can’t mention it?
Hey Chris, Death of a President was critically panned, and everyone, from Fox to NPR, refused to show ads for it. No one thought that movie was good or in good taste.
“Art will not be silenced” … and apparently neither will stupidity.
“Art will not be silenced”.. Maroons. Lenin, Stalin, and Mao did a good job of silencing art but what the heck did this teen prank have to do with art?
Disrespectful
Once again, a perverted (racist?), juvenile stunt is “portrayed” as art…it is not. Thanks for enlightening us to what this “event” was really about.
What does the “assassination of Barack Obama” have to do with a penis display? I can never understand the obsession non-blacks have with the black penis. It’s seems to be a deeply rooted psychological issue. Even with Harold Ford Republicans used the “fear of a black penis” angle to defeat him. I think this is part of the near pathological attack on black males in this country and why black women are considered “safe”. This “artist” needs counseling.
haha that is funny why are all the libs getting their panties in a bunch they were all hot and heavy for Death of a President they get offended by a penis but when somebody say they want to kill W the cheer oh the contraDICtion
Well that will really help him win the election. You rich kids need to find other ways to spend your parents money. Leave the serious business of art and politics to people for whom these outcomes are significant please.
Your art is unsuccessful, rich kid.
Yes, a long time ago, but having live through the real thing with JFK, I have no time whatsoever for assasination talk of any kind against any political figure. Ballots not bullets are the basis of change in this country.
More rot from the Ministry of Truth. If this were the assination of President Bush this thing would run on Broadway and be funded with government (i.e. taxpayers) money. SMASH THE NANNY STATE
All artist should be deboweled. All.
this isnt art…..its ment to shock and get people to look into who these people are…its gross and its pornography and if i were out in the streets that day with my young children I would have been very angry and probably would have gone right up to the guy holding the head and knocked his ass out.
Think about the children! What about the children!
I think a giant schlong is a great and accurate representation of little Obama’s ego and very funny. Oh please people, isn’t politically correct a heavy cross to carry around all the time?
I want my 1:30 minutes back. Art my backside. That was completely worthless.
Lighten Up! I think Obama will survive this artistic hit. And I’m an Obama supporter.
What we all should take away from this is that these ‘teens’ and their hate-art are products of conservative families (obviously). Our collective faith in the superior talents of Liberal Artists is once again underscored by conservative mediocraty.
I saw the Assasination of Bush. Thought it was a fine film. Thought provking, but low-budgeted and that always can make something seem less than worthy of your time.
But as the average conservative typically can only dish it out, and not take it, I suppose reiterating Huckabee’s Joke at the NRA Dinner about Obama/assasination and Ducking didn’t stick.
Are you guys gonna try again? What are you all going to do when you’re thrown out on your asses in Nov. Collect welfare?
You hear that giant sucking sound: It’s what’s left of the Conservative Intelligencia flushing itself down the toilet.
Why is it that anytime a Liberals’ Free Speech is threatened, You call out all of the other Liberals to march and parade around waving placards demanding to be heard, and yet You are all too quick to abandon such civil rights when they go against your sensibilities.
Personally, I have No Use for this Junk, but as with any citizen, he has the right to say it, and the gallery has the right to display it. Along as they are willing to take the heat for their Art, and Beliefs, they are no more a threat than Hip Hop Music. And will be forgotten just as quickly.
SOOO DUMB……
I don’t know much about art, is this considered good ? I think I’m comfortable with being labeled a philistine if this is the garbage that I would have to learn to appreciate. This doesn’t even have any palpable shock effect! Dragging a black cardboard penis through SoHo, playing on the ‘once you go black you’ll never go back’ cliche? Do us all a favor and go back to school.
How horrible in America that someone could even think of the assasination on Barry/Hitlary. And it certainly IS NOT ART. Now if we can get back to some good old fashioned, intellectual, enlightened Liberal art such as a crucifix in a jar of urine.
Lol – no one cared when the smeared elephant dung on a painting of Mary? Why now???? Oh right – Mary wasn’t black?
If that was a picture of Jesus getting urinated on the Liberals/Commies would be saying that’s “Art” and demanding free speech. I guess what comes around goes around.
Well, the Dave Brubeck music was nice, and you had to laugh at the sheer determination of those peenie-parts as they marched along!
(Not too sure WHAT IS THE MESSAGE, but heck, it was funny!)
I can’t believe ~that~ video is the one causing such a ruckus.
The only redeeming quality is the Dave Brubek Quartet’s Take Five.
Jinx, you owe me a coke (Hah)
It’s nice to see that everyone involved in this racist endeavor was a prissy lil white college aged kid. Real incisive there, idiots.
And hey Drudge, what the hell does this have to do with the art exhibit???
All I have is I am so glad I’M NOT WHITE. Hallelujah – Thank you Jesus.
Hillary and Barak thought the warped morons were on their side. These artists are beyond depraved. They have no redeeming qualities. And they are stupid. If it was Jesus they were tearing to shreds that would be art and Hillary and Barak would probably give them a grant instead of censoring the exhibit.
The only thing artistic about what was in the clip was “Take Five” and well a giant penis being paraded around New York isnt art. Or it is art like pornography is art?
Like most liberal art it is WAY over my head and I dont get it, but then im a Redneck racist conservitive who voted for Bush twice.
I don’t know what art is. My guess is none of you do either. In any event, the stencilling is clearly protected free artistic speech. My prediction is that some court will declare the SS and the NYPD action unconstitutional on these grounds, if it gets that far.
This is just another instance of over zealous government code enforcers, like the TX Child Services, that either failed to appropriately acquaint themselves with the relevant legal limitation to their authority or intentionally were pushing the legal envelope in the hope of expanding their power at the expense of individual liberties for the rest of us.
THAT, is the end of the story.
“Art will not be silenced”
- but lameness ends up working at Starbuck’s for the rest of his life.
Now fix my coffee right this time.
wow, how utterly stupid and inane this video was…
(1) when you say black men all have huge members, you are basically saying a positive stereotype which in an indirect manner is racist. also, being someone whose seen a lot of porno/adult footage in my life, i can honestly state that every race has males with various sizes, from small to large.
(2) what’s with the use of the jazz music? did that make it more intellectual somehow?
(3) get over it… if barack is elected, he becomes president, and the world will move forward. if john mccain gets elected, the world will continue on its course. one man does not have that much power and influence on the present and future, no matter what you are told to believe.
(4) by the way, barack obama is half white and half-black. you ever notice the white part of his heritage is glossed over because it doesn’t make for a good story in the press or in the imagination of his supporters.
(5) this video and display is not art in my book. Picasso was art. Mozart is art. Hell, even Hemingway is art. This is just an attempt to shock you. It’s howard stern school for conservatives and quasi-bigots.
I’ll be right back. I gotta go take an art.
Too funny – I actually watched all the way through waiting for them to to take the covering off the panels so I could read the whole message, waiting until the parade reached its final destination. Never realized that the head of the parade gave away the gag. I just sat and waited for the offensive part thinking I’d be shown some photo or the set up to the punchline.
I actually had to go back a second time for the “that’s it?” payoff. Personally, I’ve seen much more provocative work in bathroom stalls. But kudos to the artist for getting this show wide and far.
Dear Jeanie;
I’m thanking Jesus you’re not white either. Are you purple or green?
Ironically, the same people who think this stuff is clever are the same sort of people who complain about Howard Stern. Utterly without a clue.
Re the music – it’s sad buffoons like this “artist” try to get some reflected glory or add some veneer of “clever” by using the work of a truly great artist like Dave Brubeck. Brubeck would not willingly have anything to do with this pubescent garbage.
HAHAHAHAHA! Its funny how a heated dialog can start up over a cardboard penis. Thank ART. They really got you on the title too didn’t they? Shut down by the cops too. Well, so much for free speech.
To claim that liberals don’t speak up about controversial performance art is flat out ignorant.
Performance art by is nature is supposed to invoke a reaction. Creators with insufficient aesthetic values attempt to generate shock value.
The problem with Arboleda’s Assassination theme is that too often life imitates art. And what I’ve seen from many posters on this board, assassination of a liberal candidate is acceptable.
I personally think Yazmany Arboleda and his crew have a bad case of black penis envy.
Now, if you care to see some performance art (improv) that causes a slightly different reaction, check out this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M
Congrats to these kids for playing Drudge like the fool he is….
Follow the link to see something about Obama/Hillary assassination and get a big schlong in your face!!!
Why’d he take the link down?
[...] UPDATE: D’oh! Forgot this page with a video and more links. Submit to Stumbled Upon! -SteveF comment on [...]
“Performance Artist” another term for talentless, classless dreck. Obviously, these nimrods were not spanked as kids when they covered the walls with their poo.
And the point of that “art” exhibit was…?
His c0ck is actually quite tiny.
I’ve got it! This gave me a great idea. All presidential debates should be held in the nude. What a show that would be. Have ta breakout the old VCR for that freak show.
Americans,
Our Freedom of Speech does not henge on connoisseurship.
Lets hear it for the Secret Service! The millions of people that saw this as a result of their raid will sleep better knowing it thwarted a few hundred from seeing it. I doubt the New York Times right across the street will mind you cracking down on the freedom of speech.
Seriously, why did they raid it?
1.) Obscenity? Secret Service agents do not enforce obscenity laws. That doesn’t justify the title being covered up, either.
2.) Security Threat? So the Secret Service decided the best way to hide this was to draw HUGE attention to it across the street from the New York Times?
3.) Is everybody a national security threat that saw it?
When something this simple gets censored, just imagine what you don’t hear about.
Losing any freedom for security is a Pyrrhic victory.
Now the video is down, the Men in Black are here with their neuralizers.
::FLASH:: You did not see a giant black schlong, It was just swamp gas.
connoisseur:
1. A person with expert knowledge or training, especially in the fine arts.
2. A person of informed and discriminating taste
Hilarious! Great performance art!
Excellent work, people!

The only thing keeping this from actually being funny is knowing what type people are putting on this parade.
