The painting had a glass covering too

So they didn't actually throw soup on the painting as the title says?

I had a brilliant day at the Dali Museum.

I didn't realise they were all fakes, even the sculptures and the frescos on the ceilings.

Seems like I wasted a day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah cos that's comparable one of the most famous and valuable paintings in the World. We just leave those out so that anyone can walk in and throw soup on them
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is highly comparable.

Yes of course it is. You'd have to get a large group of people armed with water pistols filled with soup into the Dali Museum to do the same level of damage as throwing a smidgeon of it on the Sunflowers .

Phoebe Plummer from London. You can see her now; middle class upbringing in a leafy area, never wanted for anything, never taught the value of anything, undoubtedly at university getting educated on daddy’s cash flow, having her little moment of rebellion, dyed hair and copy of No Logo in her back pocket, getting involved in this - beliefs which will all be forgotten when uni is over and she’s working in that very corporate world, high skirting and chin-chinning her way up the ladder, marrying some chinless Gerald from finance at a country wedding.

People like her make me sick.

Classic shooting of the messenger. Same people offended by this are the same people that run around crying about how easily offended people are these days.

These days protesters must have a clean past and make sure everything is in place. They must come from the right place to protest. God forbid you come from the wrong place.

Maybe we can get a list of locations where it's OK to protest if you hail from those places. Portsmouth sounds like a place where protesters can hail from and not be stereotyped. But people from London, Liverpool or Manchester better not try this protest thing.

Protesters must not be the wrong age or have been to University. If you've ever been to University or been arrested, for example, don't bother protesting about anything because people will focus on you instead of your message.

Because people are stoopid.

Not really, you wouldn't spend Millions on a gallery dedicated to fakes.

You get them for free on internet forums.

It's not dedicated to fakes if it's only a select few items you're replacing is it

To be fair if you keep pouring soup on a sculpture for a few hundred years it's bound to have an effect at some point.

Don't know why they used tomato soup but I can't think of anything else they could have used. Paint is made with oil products I think, and is more expensive than tomatoes so that's out of the question. Yoghurt? Nope. People would have confused them for Liverpool fans. Also, the viscosity isn't right for this kind of protest. Orange juice? Nope. They're all made from chemicals these days and should just be called chemical juice. Also more abrasive than tomato soup and would damage the sculptures. That's why chilli sauce and vinegar were not considered. Throw eggs? Nope, that's killing unborn chickens and denying them a chance to grow big enough and experience life before being devoured. Life begins in the egg and as it turns out, it was the egg that came before the chicken.

They should have not gone to the bathroom for a few days to create a backlog of sheet. Think of it like enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb, only more toxic, and then used hot steaming piles of sheet directly excreted from their rears at the scene, because using tomato soup is wasting food. But both sheet and tomato soup are both made from food, so we're back to square one. Dang!

What a conundrum.

Is the cold, hard truth that working class people are too stupid to protest? A plasterer is concerned about whether to have cheese or curry sauce on their chips. Not even considering their likelihood of needing diahorrea in some strangers house. They are not concerned about bigger picture issues.

It is not that they don't have the time and resources to protest and well educated people with a middle class upbringing do, they're simply just stupid human beings who want McDonalds over anything actually important.

Human beings are generally stupid whatever their class or level of intelligence. Everyone one on this thread is pretty stupid. Plasterers earn more than most of the historic middle class jobs pay these days. The old working class traditionally protested over working conditions as much as activists protest over climate issues these days.

Class distinctions don't really work anymore in terms of middle and working. These days homeowner and non-homeowner is a better indication of affluence. Education level and age is a better indication of who is likely to be an activist and who isn't, and who is likely to get their knickers in a twist about it and who isn't.
