I enjoy painting and can copy almost anything.

- Vinny Guadagnino

And from the mouth of a "famous American TV reality personality" to the Chinese artist painstakingly having to do just that, we have the world in a nutshell. Both reality and art are copied, packaged and marketed in order for us to make enough money to "produce" offspring who can repeat the process.

And, what can you expect from a world where a reality tv capitalist hack is running for the President of the USA.? This is a world where we grow up being fed the same old corporate mumbo jumbo day after day all the while hearing the monotone slogans of "follow your dreams"...

I'm going to download Mr. Robot and watch something that might cheer me up today.
