Man Pays 6 Million Dollars For Piece Of Duct Tape

[Adamant]

Paying for these duct tapes would be a better use of that $6 million

Gonna need a name.

The news said the banana is replaced periodically, but didn't mention if that's in the purchase price.

That's some cleanly applied duct tape tbf. If I did it it'd have crinkles and air bubbles in it and shit. Everytime I replaced the banana it'd rip the paint off the wall

I was going to say that it’s probably a ceramic sculpture made to look like a banana and duct tape. But nope, it’s actually a banana and duct tape.

That’s the problem with contemporary art. It’s easy for imposters to find their way in with some bullshit.

 

[Leonard Haid]

I don't get it.

 

[Señor Dudu Bird]

"Art"

Could you imagine how big a douche the "artist" is...

 

[chill doggie]

The phrase you're looking for is money laundering.

They call this money laundering.

Nop, just run of the mill money laundering.

Post-modernist retardation meets money laundering. A match made in heaven!

I don’t think you guys understand how money laundering with art works.

Pretty much what the "artist" did. It is called The Comedian, which was somewhat about showing the pretension of the community. Which was further highlighted by a bunch of dweebs in the community going ape over how provocative it was.

Also, the crypto bro who bought it basically bought a certificate that says if he duct tapes a banana to a wall, he can call it The Comedian

What a fucking idiot.


















I wouldn't have paid a dollar over $5,999,000 for that.

The guy who bought is a crypto bro with legal problems…

I do know about the topic, if you want to launder money with art you usually want to sell off the art you bought to a genuine buyer…

Right….after using dirty money to buy it in the first place.

Did you give in to the 2 factor gestapo?

Did you give in to the 2 factor gestapo?

nope, I don't know why I can still log in tbh.

I'll be here until I can though

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Reminds me of the Tosh bit talking about paintings in coffee shops. This is a whole new level of retarded, IF they aren't laundering that cash.

 

[eddymotto]

Lotta people in this thread don't have $6mm pocket cash to spend on treats and it really shows.

 

[Grassshoppa]
