Tracey Emin — Queen Portrait

The work of Tracey Emin has long been a tar­get of my ire. Nigh on every­thing she does is utter bull­shit. The thing is, every­one in the UK knows this so why does she still get talked about, is allowed to be exhib­ited and gets com­mis­sioned for future work? Per­haps it’s because she is the only per­son left in Britain who can dick about mak­ing art while the rest of us bust a gut try­ing to negate con­tin­ued gov­ern­ment inep­ti­tude. Any­way, back on topic here’s three exam­ples of her work:

Tracey Emin My BedOoo masterbation...Tracey Emin

Yup. Proper shit. She likes her vag, we get it Tracey, you like your vag. It’s the kind of art that is per­fect for Shit Art For Rich Peo­ple. Every­thing she has ever done is uni­ver­sally awful and there is noth­ing redeem­ing in any of her works. It’s hard to even call it art; her tech­nique is shock­ing, her instal­la­tions are mun­dane and an eleven year old could best her.

So quite why she was allowed to cre­ate a por­trait for the Queen will prob­a­bly never be known. Here it is below, titled HRH Royal Bri­ta­nia:

Amaz­ing. Will prob­a­bly sell for tens of thou­sands. How is that even fair? I could shit out a bet­ter pic­ture, fuck.


Extracts from a novel never to be written

Moisha sat for­lornly on the toi­let seat and gazed down at his boxer shorts stretched apart by his knees. He noticed the seam was com­ing loose, no doubt due to the near atomic level of destruc­tion his inces­sant flat­u­lence had inflicted upon the poor cot­ton. He pon­dered whether the Ame­ican Israeli Pub­lic Affairs Com­mit­tee could


Homeland Season Finale *Spoilers*

Home­land fin­ished last night and yet again it showed how Amer­i­can execs can mess up really strong story arcs when choos­ing to com­mis­sion a sec­ond sea­son. For the first few episodes every­thing worked really well, peo­ple enjoyed guess­ing the is-he-isn’t-he and the duplic­ity along­side the build­ing of an immi­nent ter­ror­ist threat. Then it all started


ITV Titanic Episode Three and Marks & Spencer Advert

I swore I wouldn’t return to the wreck that is ITV’s Titanic, but after a ses­sion on Dice’s bro­ken Bat­tle­field 3 and being late to Home­land, I thought why not. So this week, we’re with the shady man from the pre­vi­ous episode who we learn is a wanted crim­i­nal plus Annie and the Ital­ian waiter


ITV Titanic Episode 2 Review

Right, it’s week two of ITV Titanic and coin­ci­den­tally, the 148th con­sec­u­tive week in which has ITV failed to enter­tain the nation. Last week was pretty poor start, but as with so much in life, the first time can be writ­ten off as the show sim­ply find­ing its feet try­ing to live up to the


ITV Titanic Review

It’s been a way too long day run­ning after clients and while I was hop­ing to blog about “The Tele­vi­sion Event of 2012 — Fuck No” I’m just way too tired to take it seri­ously (or add pics atm). So in the same vein (vain, weather vane) as The Guardian’s Minute By Minute here is


SMA Advertising

I don’t get this advert. Are they say­ing that SMA is the next best form of milk? I mean that’s some claim and frankly if SMA is the next best and Kate is the best then why haven’t they kid­napped Kate and made her make milk for the nation?!

An Open Letter to Steven Spielberg

Hi Steven, Can you please stop direct­ing films that have Ger­man sol­diers in them. It is a prob­lem with the baby boomer gen­er­a­tion but any­one born post 1960 just doesn’t care about them. You on the other hand, appear to have a bizarre fas­ci­na­tion, some might say a fetish with our grey uni­formed Deutsche chums.


ITV dredges up Titanic for show no one wanted

And lo’ ITV has decided that what the peo­ple want is more period drama bol­locks. Not con­tent with Down­ton Abbey and its incred­i­ble propen­sity for expo­si­tion [“Oh golly, I can’t be upstairs, I’m a ser­vant and I can’t be on this floor. — Yes, you bet­ter get back down before his Lord­ship finds out.”] they
