Absolutely vicious. I’m sorry this guy is dead and all but that’s the risk you take when you try to be a bad ass on the road and try to over take vehicles and in a country where there are stereotypes about bad driving. Don’t understand exactly why he stomped on the brakes and turned right into a shoulder on the high way. If he went right to avoid the driver recording i guess that’s respectable, but just don’t be an asshole trying to over take ever car in the way because you want your little tuner car to be fast or else sometimes you get what’s coming to you. You risk your little hatchback shovel passing you across 3 lanes.
DailyTimes- A new bizarre fashion trend suggests you may have been overlooking the ultimate clothing item, despite unwittingly bringing it home with you after every shopping trip. People are stripping naked and posting photos of themselves wearing nothing but a plastic bag, as part of the latest social media sensation in Taiwan. Men and women alike are thrilled with their latest garment, although the transparent bags leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. It is particularly ‘cool’ to be seen flaunting a grocery bag from convenience store 7-Eleven, which seems to be a popular brand among plastic bag fans. The near-naked posers make a true fashion statement by displaying the green logo across their bare chests with pride. The incredibly affordable hot look of this season is adaptable and chic – simply slip your arms through the plastic handles and go! Perhaps the Taiwanese trend setters took inspiration from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia in April. The St George New Generation models strutted down the catwalk with plastic bags over their heads which proved to be a polarising accessory.
This is something straight out of Mugatu’s Derelicte campaign. It is the fashion, the way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make a wonderful city so unique. Fashions just a weird thing. Its not suppose to make sense i dont think. Just has to be absurd and weird and if the person is hot or not, it works. If you’re gonna try to pull off something so god damn insane like wearing a grocery bag you have to be hot off the bat. The only one of these that are hot is the 7 Eleven brunette one because it just looks like a white top. You can’t see the plastic crinkly creases, the logo is simple, and the person just looks like a cute asian chick and not a freak. The third chick is just not hot. If you’re not hot and have those bangs that make you look like a prude and not a beautiful face then just dont even bother to wear a plastic bag because it just makes you look like a boney lunatic. And dont even get me started with the guy in glasses. If there really was a hot chick who started the trend then the second that guy put on the plastic bag, he ended the trend. Last of all, is the pair at the bottom. The look works for them. Wanna know why? Because those are 2 actual homeless guys who sleep on a sheet of cardboard next to a dumpster. Some styles are just regional to a certain place. A bearded guy wearing heavy flannel and a Northface jacket doesn’t belong in the Caribbean, He belongs in the cold north. Well anyone rocking a grocery bag, belongs in no home, but near a dumpster begging for change.
Taipei, Aug. 24 (CNA) A Taiwanese boy on Sunday punched a hole in an extremely valuable Paolo Porpora painting at a Taipei exhibition after apparently tripping and trying to catch his balance on the artwork, according to the surveillance tape provided by the organizers on Monday. The 12-year-old boy may have gotten lucky, however, because the organizers will not ask the boy’s family to pay for the cost of restoring the damaged painting, displayed as part of “The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius” exhibition at Huashan 1914 Creative Park. According to Sun Chi-hsuan (孫紀璿), the head of exhibition co-organizer TST Art of Discovery Co. (京銓藝術), the 200-centimeter tall painting is around 350 years old and valued at over NT$50 million (US$1.5 million). In the tape, the 12-year-old was seen tripping over a rope barrier post while walking near the 17th century oil painting “Flowers.” As he stumbled toward the painting, he extended his arms to keep from falling, making contact with the artwork and leaving a hole the size of a fist. Andrea Rossi, curator of the exhibition, was shocked after learning about the incident on Sunday, Sun said, adding that Rossi will discuss restoring the painting in Taiwan with a Taiwanese art restorer on Monday before shipping it back to Italy. Sun said the boy was visiting the exhibition with his mother and was probably not aware of his surroundings because he was focused on the guided tour. According to Sun, the boy was very nervous, but Rossi asked that the boy not be blamed and that the family not be asked to pay for the cost of the restoration. Sun said the organizers will ask the insurance company to cover restoration costs and compensate the owner of the painting. It is the first time that a valuable painting on loan in Taiwan has suffered such major damage. “The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius” exhibition is displaying over 50 authentic paintings by prominent artists from the Italian Renaissance period to the 20th century, organizers said. The exhibition was temporarily closed on Monday morning, before reopening in the afternoon. “All 55 paintings in the venue are authentic pieces and they are very rare and precious. Once these works are damaged, they are permanently damaged…we hope that everyone can protect these precious artworks with us,” TST Art of Discovery said in a post on the exhibition’s official Facebook page. Sun said an 80 centimeter distance was maintained between each painting and visitors so that visitors would not get too close to the artwork. When the incident occurred, there were around 200 to 300 visitors in the venue, within the allowed limit, he said. (By Christie Chen and Sabine Cheng)
Before realizing this was a dead painter, i was gonna say this is a positive for him and i stand by that. Art is so god damn annoying sometimes these ridiculously high cost that are equal to real estate property for some simple brush strokes and shit and a blob of paint on a canvas smeared about. This painting was just a big ass painting of a flower vase. As if a painting of a flower vase and a real life flower vase give me different feelings. They both are just things that cost money that do nothing for my enjoyment. Now me, if i were to own that painting or were a shitty artist iwould just put out an insurance policy and just set up a scheme where a clumsy ass kid just trips and punches a whole straight through the thing. I dont want a shitty painting of a flower but i do want to collect guaranteed millions for it. No guarantees that a painting sells, but when you have a million dollar policy and your signature on the dotted lines of that policy then its kind of a win.
I dont fully know how insurance works for art/anything but im almost sure thats right.
