Though museum officials were upset, they didn't yell at the student or discipline him. At first, Hart tried to explain to him the museum's role in preserving cultural and visual history. "I knew that probably wouldn't make any sense to him, so I asked him what kind of music he liked," said Hart.

"He said he liked rap, so I said, 'Well, you know what rock 'n' roll is,' and he did, so I said, 'Can you imagine if somebody had messed up the beat in rock and roll so you didn't have any rhythm in rap.' And he looked at me, and he got it immediately."

"Damaging one of the most important modern paintings in the museum's collection and a landmark picture in the artist's output."

Fuck, If that piece of shit is "one of the most important paintings in their collection" then I'm handing in my brushes. The gum probably made it better. Bullshit hacks!




Sidebar: I'm a painter, thus the aggrivation.

When I was 12, I sure as hell knew that was a bad idea.

Kids today are pussies, and our society is making them even worse.

Man my mother would've beat the living shit out of me. And i would've deserved it. Little muthafucka should get a nervous twitch every time he sees gum after his parents are done with him. but it wont happen.
