The Most Unoriginal Print Ad Ever Produced?
And believe me, that’s saying something in this borrowed interest-addicted industry. Via Poland, this ad for Bic pens with the headline “Anyone can be an artist” is of course an amazingly lazy re-purposing of the famous 1919 Marcel Duchamp mocking of the Mona Lisa. Neo-Dadaism to sell pens? Pens that are used for writing, not drawing? This would actually be a slightly better visual for a Bic razor ad, right? Not sold on my headline claim yet? Please understand that these represent merely a drop in the uncreative shit bucket of Mona Lisa usage in ad history.

Editor-in-Chief:
fucken idiot why do you insist on presenting yourself as someone who knows anything about art? All you do is suck Shepard Faireys dick and and talk bout fixed pedal bikes.
What’s a fixed pedal bike? Besides broken, that is.
