Pants in Hawaii? Only 25% of my genes are Aussie, but I doubt I’d even pack pants for a trip to Hawaii… Or are shorts ok, just ixnay on the ongthay? If the latter, I am pretty certain such was part of the Geneva Conventions.

If this “critic” had done their homework, they would have known that the original backround for the painting was a “smooth, glossy, hard and deep translucent green”. Dark backrounds were used to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the figure.

I’m from Hawaii and I can assure you that people from all over the world suck equally, especially while on vacation. Americans, Japanese (stop with the picture-taking!), Australians (put some pants on!), I mean *everyone*.

Completely. “Ugly American” stereotype would complain about how explanations of the painting weren’t in English first or how they were overcharged to get in or how the cafeteria (if there was one) didn’t have chicken fingers. “Ugly Artist” stereotype complains about the setting of the painting because, obviously, they know better.

Don’t you mean “Romani ite domum”? Now write that 100 times until you get it right.

So, just like every other country in the world then.

Except in most other countries people are much more able to laugh at themselves. And understand the joke.

I was hoping for more elegant or distinctive handwriting. This “artist” appears to be marginally competent at CorelDRAW at best.

Something the owner of this site probably didn’t know: all countries have people (at home or abroad) who can be pretty obnoxious sometime.

I lived in Europe for several months and I still deal with them for business purposes here and there, and since I am an Asian American I get both the “why can’t you Americans do things our way?” And “you Asians have weird cultures” reactions from some people. *shrug* There are considerate people everywhere; there are idiots everywhere.

I don’t consider myself an artist, but I do like to go to the museums. And I have seen/heard similar PA notes and comments by “critics” from all over the world…

@sloop You clearly do not agree with CB as you just proved his point. He said (paraphrasing slightly) that Americans act like dicks when they adopt an ignorant attitude that disparages other cultures and you did just that. Amazing.

The internet finds you guilty, and sentences you to fifty hours community service, picking up litter from Charlie Sheen’s twitter feed.
