Funny Disney Related Picture in NY Times

[Stacy's a freak]

I don't know what I find funnier ... the somewhat risque comment or a soggy Pinnochio.

I think the artist has a Oedipus complex

Besides everybody knows Mommy wouldn't be dumb enough to jump.

Pinocchio floating (cuz he's WOOD) face down, looking down at Monstro calling for Geppetto.... Daddy??Daddy?? Are you down there??

This was my first thought as well!

Huh? This is lost on me. Are we looking at a picture or a picture of a picture? Where is this taken? What event was taking place to draw all the people? Why? Why? Why? Is there any explanation?

Here's a link to the NY Times article about the art exhibit.

Art eh

When we were at Disneyland Paris last week the kids who are 8 & 6 wanted to go to Paris so off we went. We visited the Louvre and told the kids we were going to see the Mona Lisa which is the most famous painting in the world. DD looked, took photos and asked all the right questions. DS who is 6 asked why the painting was so small and why was the lady not smiling. The same boy asked later why all the boy statues didnt wear underwear

Hilarious!! Were you laughing?

I pretty much had all of those thoughts - except for the toilet one......

my kids preferred the building itself (the architecture) to the art it contained and didn't like the mona lisa.....there is another portraint of a woman in the same room that they liked much better...

their favorite art was in the garden of the rodin museum...they adored his sculptures....
during our 8 days in paris, we went back there 4 times....

as for paintings, they preferred the musee d'orsay to the louvre...

and as for pinochio.....no comment.....

My interpretation: An artistic rendering of a Tommy Lee pool party!

This is so perplexing. I want to understand, but I just can't. Apparently, I just need to stick with comic strips when in comes to art.

Oh, that is bad!

OK at first I thought the artist had an Oedipus complex and really wanted Daddy to dive into the toilet or bidet to save Pinnochio but really wanted him to drown so he could have Mommy all to himself.
Upon further inspection I'm thinkin Pinnochios nose is stuck in the toilet (TU Mindy for the kids, toys and toilets reminder)
after falling pickled during a wild party (TU FireDancer)
whilst his polluted nose grows bigger and bigger cuz it's wood (TU MenashaCorp for wood idea)
Called Daddy cuz he's the only who knows how to free it.
I'm stopping there due to my fertile imagination wandering into a dark and sordid area of the brain that's best kept shut.

Can't wait to go see it during TGiving

If you look closely, you can see the sign located just below the frame, it reads, " PLEASE PEOPLE STAY OUT OF THE DAMN LAKES!!!!"
