If I had known, you'd have heard from me before now...

The hot, kitsch-hating hairdresser wife told me about Thomas Kinkade doing a painting for Disney. I assumed it was the cheap box wine that made her talk thus. Unfortunately, she wasn't just drug-addled; she was telling the truth. Remember when I made fun of Kinkade for his escapist nonsense? Remember how much shit I got from christians who liked his elysian fields porn? I dare anyone to defend this. Seriously.

Now, that's comedy! That is the equivalent of a pixie stick, a Brittney Spears song, or a Max Lucado book. As Morgan Spurlock showed us, just cuz it tastes good and maybe even has food ingredients in it, it doesn't mean it's actually food.

But greg, you know there will be people who will defend this, because it is representational and aesthetically pleasing (though not to my warped sensibility), as opposed to something "abstract" (said with the dripping loathing with which the words "liberal" and "welfare mom" are spoken).

Ah, isn't great how all things have come full circle? Recall that Lifechurch's "Children's Department" (or "Wee One Encounter" or whatever) was influenced and "designed" by Disney consultants?

I can just see it now: Kincade has an "art" showing at Lifechurch in proof that oil and water(color) does actually mix.

Didn't Kincade originally title that piece "Sunday morning trip to the mega-church?"
