Fundies go after Looney Tunes-version of "Last Supper" in San Diego:

[villager]

<snip>

Two weeks ago, the gallery put on display an oil painting parody of Leonardo da Vinci's “The Last Supper.” Named “The Gathering,” it substitutes Looney Tunes and other cartoon characters for disciples and Bugs Bunny for Jesus.

“We never intended to offend anyone,” said Mike Dicken, national sales director for the gallery at 2501 San Diego Ave. “Most people think it's fun and amusing, but 5 percent are pulling their hair out.”

The anonymous complaints came in – 10 to 12 a day by phone – and a few notes, unsigned or signed “A concerned citizen.” So the gallery added a biography of Dallas artist Glen Tarnowski, explaining his intent and his background as a devout Christian and an alumnus of California Lutheran University.

Craig Kausen, the Irvine-based gallery chain's CEO and grandson of late Warner Bros. cartoonist and artist Chuck Jones, said he even consulted a local priest who, while he hadn't seen the artwork, was not upset by the concept.

“There is nothing irreverent about it whatsoever,” Kausen said.

1. Hope they don't wimp out and take it down

Actually it looks pretty cool. Maybe they'll sell prints someday. I'd hang it my den.

[Richard D]

2. Slightly larger version

[villager]

4. Thanks! Makes me want a print even more!

:thumbsup:

[mrbscott19]

11. I would buy

2 of them right now if I could

[dflprincess]

21. Thank you.

This version makes it easier to try and read the code. I'll let you know when I've cracked it. :evilgrin:

[Echo In Light]

3. "Be vawy, vawy quiet..I'm hunting wasckally wibwals and fwee-thinkers"

[villager]

5. Perfect! (Though which "season" is it? ;-)

n/t

[Echo In Light]

12. Season of The Witch?

[datasuspect]

6. The Last Sizzuper

[baldguy]

7. Ignorant "Christians" can't separate a painting of a deity from they deity itself.

Ceci n'est pas un dieu

[villager]

8. A bit idolatrous of them, no?

n/t

[Chulanowa]

15. Especially since they only have the edited version!

Here's how it really happened:

[baldguy]

32. Comicus?

[damntexdem]

37. Nor from graven images of the Ten Commandments.

But will Hillary come and ask who painted it?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. I wonder if they know that The Last Supper was painted by

a gay man. :evilgrin:

[Echo In Light]

13. That's perfect. Hell, I was raised Catholic as a kid & I didn't know that

[Chulanowa]

10. Star Wars: The Last Supper

[backscatter712]

14. Don't forget Battlestar Galactica: The Last Supper...

[villager]

19. So Caprica 6 is the Messiah, eh?

Shouldn't Hera be in the middle! ;-)

Thanks for posting!

[backscatter712]

25. Judging by her dress, I'd say that's Baltar's Head Six.

I don't want to give away too much for those who haven't seen the finale.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Know what's weird? I had no idea that Jamie Bember (Bamber?) was British

until I saw that "Last Frakkin' Special" on the sci-fi channel and heard him talk. Watched the show for years, had no clue.

He really nailed the non-British accent.

[villager]

46. Ah. One of her pit stops "150,000 years later," eh?

;-)

[Cid_B]

26. Lots of subtleties in that one..

too bad the finale sucked.

[Sebastian Doyle]

16. I'd say the most "offensive" thing about the Looney Tunes painting

is the presence of Porky Pig.

An unclean animal at a Passover seder?!

And what the Hell is The Grinch doing there?? :wtf:

[villager]

20. Grinch is there 'cause it was actually a "Chuck Jones" theme...

...which meant mostly Looney Tunes...

[damntexdem]

38. Stealing Christmas, obviously.

Why else would the Grinch be there?

[Sebastian Doyle]

40. I'd say he's running a few months late.

Maybe he was expanding his business and stealing Easter?

[Warpy]

17. Send your fundie friends this little ditty

and they'll really explode brain matter all over the place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFzlX9X3E18

[MineralMan]

23. Wonderful Song! That's the message we get from the

fundamentalcases...they can't wait.

[Mari333]

43. this one is my favorite

[Champion Jack]

18. My favorite

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. So if Bugs Bunny were Jesus Christ, who would be Judas Iscariot?

I'd say Daffy Duck. He'd sell out Bugs for 30 pieces of silver in a heart beat.

The dillema though is who would make the better Pontius Pilate?

Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam.

Pontius Elmer: "Kill the Wabbit".

Pontius Sam: "Crucify that varmint!"

Yeah, I think we'll go with Sam.

[Sultana]

24. Isn't there a naked version of the Last Supper?

[EC]

27. What's the problem

The Last Supper is only a painting...not a religious relic.

The loonies need to lighten up...

[Ian David]

28. An oldie but a goodie: See prior thread, "The Last Supper"

45. You are so going to Hell for that...or Duzyland.

[MindPilot]

29. The best part of that article is the comments that follow

"I still don't understand why they serve Kosher salt at Red lobster."
:rofl:

[LeftinOH]

30. Realize this: Many fundies may believe that DaVinci was actually present at the Last Supper

with his easel and paints.

[InvisibleTouch]

31. Oh, I like it!

Who is the bear, the bulldog, and the big red monster-looking thing? I think I recognize everyone else.

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. You never saw the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the big red monster??

That was a classic!

"Monsters are such interesting people......"

[InvisibleTouch]

39. I vaguely remember it now that I saw the Youtube clip. n/t

[Roland99]

35. DaVinci probably would have laughed his ass off

[ColbertWatcher]

36. They'd probably like this one ...

[Deja Q]

41. Well, I agree with them!!

I mean, Daffy Duck should be the one in Christ's position. Not that stupid, arrogant, snotty buck-toothed bunny.

[Archae]

42. Oh yeah!

Daffy as Christ, with Bugs as Judas.

Daffy to Bugs: "You're dethpicable!" :rofl:
