Ace's Application For An Austrian Artistic Grant

Lieblings Herren und Frauen,

Guten Tag.

I would like to apply for a grant in the amount of 1.2 million Euros to create "edgy," politically-themed art about America, the European Union, and the War on Terror.

I have no artistic abilities whatsoever, but that doesn't seem to be disqualifier for you guys. I can do some photoshopping, or, more likely, outsource such work to Allah or Slublog. (Please don't tell them I'm being paid 1.2 million Euros. I plan to pay them in bite-sized Twix bars and old issues of Guns & Ammo.)

My "concepts" for the campaign are not fully fleshed out, but here are some ideas.

1) A photoshopped depiction of George Bush on a rearing bronco, lassoing a group of terrified brown-skinned people. The brown skinned people will be labled, as in an editorial cartoon, "Our Precious Civil Liberties." That way the picture works on two levels, even though, quite frankly, one of those levels doesn't even make much sense.

George Bush will also be naked. You guys seem to like that.

2) A photoshop of Tony Blair put into a the famous Hugh Grant/hooker picture. But here's the brilliant twist-- Tony Blair will be playing the role of the hooker. His head will be ducked down beneath the dashboard so you can't actually see him, but again, an editorial caption will point to him and say "Tony Blair, Prostitute."

Oh, and Hugh Grant will be replaced by George Bush.

This may seem a little confusing but, hey, you've got Tony Blair going down on George Bush, which seems to be right up your alley.

George Bush will also be naked, again. The license plate on the car will read "The Fascist Emperor Has No Clothes." I'm not sure how to fit that on a license plate, but I'm sure Slublog can figure it out.

3) A parody of the pro-life lobby's "Chose Life" campaign. The billboard will have the words "CHOOSE DEATH" in dripping bloody letters, and the visual will be of an aborted fetus. The fetus will be photoshopped to look like a brown-skinned man between the ages of 25 and 40.

He will also be naked. Not really a political point made with the nudity there; it's just that fetuses don't wear clothes.

4) A photoshop of Keira Knightly going down on Kate Winslet. This is more a personal interest than a political statement. Though, if you're going to be sticklers about it, I can have body-paint on Keira Knightly reading "Bush's Foreign Policy" and body paint on Kate Winslet reading "The Military-Petroleum Complex."

Both will definitely be naked.

If this seems a little over-the-line, I can just have them pillow fighting or, maybe, comparing breast sizes. But I will not compromise my artistic vision any further.

5) A "conceptual mass-guerilla performance art" sort of display, in which I give out baseball caps to European citizens with slogans like "I Really Do Matter" and "Europe: The Fifth Most Important Continent On Earth," in order to boost support Europeans' self-esteem. I've seen them give out similar esteem-boosting baseball caps to retards, and the retards seem to just love them. Sometimes they try to eat the hats, but most of the time they wear them proudly (until they try to eat them).

I'm pretty sure that no more than 30% of European citizens will try to eat the hats, so I really think this one could be a winner.

I hope you give my edgy, controversial, authority-challenging ideas the due consideration they deserve. And I hope I can count on that 1.2 million Euro check in the near future, because I really want to get a widescreen LCD HDTV. And also, some live-in whores.

Thank you very much.

Auf widersehen,

Ace of Spades

Ace,

Can you please add me to your links?

Ace,

You pathetic shithead. Your so-called "allies" in the White House and GOP Congress just passed a bill that gives a huge tax cut to the super-wealthy and pays for it by cutting your mothers health insurance, and you're worried about art in Austria? Wake up, you fucking nincompoop!

Happy New Year!

Posted by: phil on December 29, 2005 02:56 PM

Yeah, shithead, wake up!

Posted by: Allah on December 29, 2005 02:58 PM

Hm. How would a liberal respond to phil's post?

Oh, I know.

{whine}
You guys don't want to engage in reasonable discourse about the Chimp-in-Chief's crimes against humanity. You're only interested in throwing out insults against those of us who want only to see both sides of this issue.
{/whine}

Posted by: Lee Atwater on December 29, 2005 03:00 PM

I would really like to know what the definition of "super wealthy" is to dear phil.

Please God. Let me make enough to get this tax cut! Taxes are killing me here!!!

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on December 29, 2005 03:01 PM

So, Allah...twix bars and Guns and Ammo.

Nice

I always knew my middling photoshop skills would get me some sweet compensation someday.

Posted by: Slublog on December 29, 2005 03:02 PM

I make enough for the tax cuts, and I'm using every dime I keep to oppress the poor and downtrodden. Mostly I pay local employers to lay people off.

Last week I applied for membership in "The Man". Armed with that I can hang out at the soup kitchen and laugh at all the losers.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 29, 2005 03:09 PM

The license plate on the car will read "The Fascist Emperor Has No Clothes." I'm not sure how to fit that on a license plate, but I'm sure Slublog can figure it out.


Make it a European Car. those European Car's have very big license plates.

Also, remember you are applying to Germans,,,or Austrias--no difference right? They'll never go for the Keira-Kate thing unless you throw in some urination or defecation.

It's not my cup of Tea, but they really like that stuff.

Posted by: Red Jode on December 29, 2005 03:10 PM

I oppose any legislation that requires me to be awake this early in the afternoon.

Posted by: MacStansbury on December 29, 2005 03:10 PM

Yeah, I'm using my tax cut money for VRWC dues.

They've gone up this year.

Posted by: Slublog on December 29, 2005 03:13 PM

My suggestion to the ACE Art Gallery:
Another simple -yet profound- hooker photo. Maybe a picture of the red light district in some euro city with the working girls in the window. And to add the necessary political spin just photoshop Bush, Blair, etc. on the bodies of the working girls. Maybe have one working girl haggling about price with a man of non-white skin color to show oppression and suffering.

With a million euros and some beer the opportunities are endless.

Posted by: csva on December 29, 2005 03:15 PM

Uh, as an admirer of art in all its juicy, round , bouncy forms, I move to strike the Winslet from the brilliant proposed art. I move to substitute Kate Benckinsale, who is, as the German would say, GuutendamdatsheisHott.

As a member of the superwealthy, I would like to know more about Ace's "allies" (is it allies or "allies"? Is this a title or some sort of scare quote tactics). I would like to learn more about these people, are they organized into any organization that I could support, either through voting or campaign contributions?

Posted by: joeindc44 on December 29, 2005 03:19 PM

So, Allah...twix bars and Guns and Ammo.

I thought Allah said that blogging didn't pay well. A man could live pretty well off Twix bars and Guns and Ammo - food for the body and soul.

Posted by phil at December 29, 2005 02:56 PM

Thankyou for your concern, phil. Ace, why don't you ever call me?

Posted by: Ace's mom on December 29, 2005 03:21 PM

You know, something struck me as odd about Phil's comments. I had to check, but it turns out dear mom "pays" for her own health insurance. Apparently, its only a couple of hundred dollars a year. She gets "money" to "pay" for her "insurance" with a "job." Its really the same way I do it. I checked my contracts law book, and it turns out that the president can't cancel my mom's insurance. He could bomb the insurance company or listen in as they exchange Kwanza greetings with OBL, but not cut her insurance program.

So, tell me more about this tax cut. and about the live-in whores. They won't be like girlfriends will they?

Posted by: on December 29, 2005 03:25 PM

If you add something about David Hasselhoff taking a crap on GWB, then the live in whores are as good as yours.

While Kate Beckinsale is definately attractive....Kate Winslet must stay. Sorry man. Ace has spoken!

Me likey the curvey Kate.

The guys get twix!

Posted by: nino on December 29, 2005 03:39 PM

Mmmmm... strike the Winslet. She really took the "anic" out of "Titanic", if you know what I mean... nudge, nudge...

Posted by: limboman on December 29, 2005 03:40 PM

Who says that we can't have Ms. Knightly, Ms. Wisnlet and Ms. Beckinsale, all at the same time??!!

This is art, fellas. Art. No compromises. No placating.

Posted by: Phinn on December 29, 2005 03:42 PM

Ace, you owe me a keyboard...

Posted by: odrady on December 29, 2005 03:43 PM

Geeze ACE! You make your mom pay for her own health insurance with a "job!"

What a heartless pig you are! I suppose you make her pay for her own shoes as well?

You Republicans make me sick!

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on December 29, 2005 03:46 PM

In order to lead the lifestyle you need the wallpaper!

Oh, hell no! I pine for Winslet the way Tristan pined for Isolde, baby. Or the way Ron Jeremy pines after that skanky tattooed broad he nailed in Hard Ridden. Winslet isn't some skinny stick-figure with no jahoobies; she's got a lovely Odalisque body. Plus that English peaches-and-cream complexion.

Oh, man! Plus she's willing to get all kinds of naked in her movies: not just Titanic, but also Jude the Obscure (which, sadly, was the high point of that boring piece of crap movie).

Wake up, you fucking nincompoop! Happy New Year!

Ace - you have been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future. Attend carefully its enlightened moaning as you will not get any more chances to repent of your humbuggy ways.

To Monty....bravo...somebody gets it!! :-) Ditto about the Jude movie. Most depressing movie EVER...but....you do get to see a bit more of Kate....

Monty,

Also your line:

like the way Ron Jeremy pines after that skanky tattooed broad he nailed in Hard Ridden.

Needs to be on Ace's site somewhere. Like a testimonial such as:

I need to read Ace of Spades EVERY day. It is on my mind the moment I wake up in the morning. Like the way Ron Jeremy pines after that skanky tattooed broad he nailed in Hard Ridden.

Just a thought.

Posted by: WunderKraut on December 29, 2005 04:16 PM

Just a thought.

Not a bad idea. I say get rid of Mencken and commission Monty (for a bite-size Twix) to compose a new AOSHQ tagline. Maybe a new one every month. Monty could the AOSHQ tagline laureate.


Posted by: Michael on December 29, 2005 04:32 PM

Tagline Laureate

Boy, there's an honor that would really make my CV sparkle!

Posted by: Monty on December 29, 2005 04:59 PM

Ace,
Yer on freaking FIRE!

Posted by: McDirty on December 29, 2005 05:15 PM

maybe ace should hold a "tagline contest". Michael?

Posted by: Dex in TX on December 30, 2005 11:57 AM

Sure, why not. But we cut off the entries at, say, the first 200. I'm not reading 1000+ again.

I'll even consider Monty's entries this time.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
