Fake AA Ad Artist Makes/Desecrates Fake Warhol
This is getting, like, way to avant artsy fartsy for me. Having previously DPed Damien Hirst and gone skinny dipping with Jeff Koons, here the fake American Apparel ad imaginer dares to take a potshot at the Grandpop of pop artists. Scurrilous! Frankly, it's fine and dandy by me. Unlike pretty much every other ad hack in the world, my take on Warhol is that he was nothing more than an over-glorified silkscreener. And anytime anybody calls him a "painter," my brain throws up in my skull a little bit. Lucien Freud. Francis Bacon. Those are/were modern painters. So X out all the Andy Marilyns you want, sexy leggy fake AA babe. It turns me on. FYI: here's the corresponding real AA "BFF" ad.

My brain throws up inside my skull anytime anyone calls Andy Warhol an artist. Unless you want to widen the definition of "artist" to include "anyone who has ever put any sort of graphic on paper."
Yeah, my brain throws up so much I think it's bulimic.
