Amazon #25: Freedom Cold Painted Semi Naked Woman Statuette

5 stars - link

Contrary to unpopular opinion, 'The Eternal Struggle' is merely my own subtitle to this piece of work of art. I fear that the sculptor (or sculptress) can only be described as a too-modest genius (or geniess) for not exhibiting this far more widely.

Nay, could it not surpass such popular works as Rodin's "The Thinker on the Toilet"? Mike and Angelo's "David"? Television's "Venus De Milo"? Yay, it could.

There are so many unanswered questions for me on studying this masterpiece for hours at a time, as I often do - for how long has she been locked in this transitionary state between clothed and declothed? How many suitors must this sensual creature have, and why have they not rushed to her aid? What in the name of buddha's teeth has happened to her legs?

But perhaps the biggest question is - why this is for sale on amazon and not being exhibited in the Louvre? I doff my cape to you amazon, it is quite a coup. Well played...

Amazon #24: Photo Jigsaw 16x12 (40x30cm) Enoch Powell calling for extensive repatriation of immigrants by Heritage-Images

2 stars - link

NB - I'm unsure if this will be approved for inclusion or not - I suspect not, so here it is regardless...

This 192 piece jiggysaw is actually very easy to do, befitting the abilities of the kind of intellectual donut who would buy this for himself or a racist uncle who constantly goes on about how he fought in a war, while not revealing that during it he gained the iron cross for services to demoralising radio broadcasts.

This is the first in a series of new politically dubious brain teasers; also in the series are Idi Amin's favourite word searches, a Jean Marie Le Pen Monopoly set ('do not pass go if you're Algerian'), and a Nick Griffin Rubik's cube where all the faces are white.
