PFFR mural in Los Angeles

[synchronicity]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to put the word out that at the gallery, Synchronicity Space, starting tomorrow, we're putting up a mural designed by PFFR. The image is a New Yorker-style comic for which they wrote 29 jokes. Each day for 29 days we'll be changing the caption to a new joke.

Here's the image:



and a sample joke:

(Patient) - If the brain is the sexiest organ, what then of a brain with a bleached butthole.

If you wanna see the mural in person, it's at 713 N. Heliotrope Dr. 90029

I can post pictures if out-of-towners want to see the jokes.

Yes, absolutely! If PFFR are writing jokes, we all want to hear them. I speak for everyone here and I have no problem doing so. I don't want to hear a peep out of any of you! Shut up, Sneeb!

Now the real test is if PFFR can make my me simultaneously cry tears of laughter and tears of soul-shattering fear with these one-liner captions the way they do with all their other projects. I'm assuming yes. And greatly looking forward to it.

I like this idea of a new joke every day but I also hope the last day of this mural is a new episode of Horse Apples

Awesome

Hey all!

So here are a few images of the mural so far. We're at day 20. In order to not bog you down with a barrage of images, you can see the rest at http://www.synchronicityspacela.com/?cat=292 or if you want it intruding into your daily life, you can follow us on facebook where we post them every day http://www.facebook.com/pages/synchr...es/39196513874

Since this is the closest thing to a PFFR thread, I thought this was worth noting:



Vernon Chatman - Mindsploitation: Asinine Assignments for Online Homework Cheating Industry (to be released on April 9th, 2013)

Mindsploitation lampoons the hundreds of websites throughout the globe offering to carry out the tough tasks that many Americans will not do. The silliness and significance of this dynamic is particularly pertinent to young Americans, who have come into maturity in a world where such services are taken for granted. What does it say about our society that we can commission a eulogy for our grandmother, or have a poem for our mistress custom prepared to order by a total stranger at the click of a button? Just how entitled is a culture that keeps these services afloat?Mindsploitation uses such questions as launching pads for wildly entertaining, comedic exchanges. The hundreds of custom assignments in this book humorously explore self-help, spirituality, family, health, diet, pop culture, love, and more. Mindsploitation wrings laughs out of characters engaging in the same type of rampant outsourcing that American corporations have embraced for the last 20 years.

Vernon Chatman is basically a genius and I really want to read his book even though it will probably make me laugh and cry in equal measure (as most of his projects do).
