Two climate activists with Extinction Rebellion were arrested Sunday after gluing themselves to a Picasso painting at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
The activists glued themselves to the glass covering of "Picasso's Massacre in Korea," standing alongside a banner that read "Climate Chaos = War and Famine," highlighting the connection between climate breakdown and human suffering, the organization said on Twitter.
"'If we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything that gives us our security,' leading to conflict," the group said, quoting naturalist and TV host David Attenborough.
SNOOOOOOOOOZZZZZEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Look, I'm all for protesting and voicing displeasure with government. Sometimes those protests might even mean destruction of property. That's been going on as long as we've had boots on the ground in the New World. King George III could tell you all about that after a bunch of hood rats from southie dumped his tea into Boston Harbor like 250 years ago.
THAT'S how you protest. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, if you're gonna fuck someone's property up for the sake of getting your voice heard, you gotta actually fuck that property up. Like bad bad. So bad that the property you fucked up becomes useless. And you reallllllllly better have good cause for doing so. Like declaring independence from a monarch.
Don't do this:
“[We] knew we could do this action without damaging the artwork itself,” an Extinction Rebellion spokesperson told the Guardian. “Our intention was always to glue on to the [Perspex covering] protecting it.”
You clowns fucking stink at this. They're even quoted as "feeling guilty" about pulling this stunt. Now everyone will think you're giant assholes and talk about how much they hate your guts. Your message will up and vanish like a fart in the wind.

Worst protestors ever
Everyone is laughing at them because they didn't go skin to glue to paint. Even Picasso is laughing at them from heaven, or hell, or wherever the fuck he is.
Gluing your hand to the GLASS COVERING of a painting worth over a quarter billion dollars (!!!) ain't it. Grow some balls and glue your hand to the actual painting, you rookies!!!! And you losers wanted to be my Latex salesmen. Grow the fuck up.
Or do what Mr. Bean did to the Mona Lisa:
PS - That painting stinks too. Wouldn't pay $2.80 for it, let alone $280,000,000
