POLARKINI
Can you believe it? This masterpiece was a mere runner-up in the UN’s 16th International Children’s Painting Competition on the Environment:
Man. Must’ve been a tough field. (UPDATE. Best viewed with sound.)

Probably explains the polar bear population boom, rick.

For that matter, why is he wearing a clean-room suit?

Okay, maybe it’s upside down, but I’m also living Downunda.
Now I’m going to spend the day trying to decipher what coded message a 12yo pommy boy is trying to pass on.

Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 09 15 at 08:06 PM • permalinkHmmmmm, yes, yes, I can see. The bear is shedding its white idendity, transforming itself into a hermaphrodite being, symbolic of our earth mother, but the bear also wears clothes, reflective of the shackles that we impose upon ourselves, the fact that a free animal such as a bear must also be clothed shocks our sense of being. Powerfull, yes, powerfull. The aesthetic elements of the pink sky and red bikini are juxtaposed, reminding us of the Bush regimes’ unjust war in Iraq. A masterpiece.
LOL, Nic (#24)!
Sadly, you wouldn’t bat an eye if you saw that para in an op/ed column in the Age or the Byron Bay Echo.
Traceeeeee springs to mind.

The first prize went to someone from a first world country.
And with a name like “Charlie Sullivan”, I’d say he is white and middle class.
And male.
Surely they could have awarded the prize to someone more deserving?

Like, she’s sunny on the inside.
Or, if she’s Muslim, Sunni on the inside.Posted by carpefraise on 2007 09 16 at 07:58 AM • permalink
