Not as bad as that monkey-Jesus painting in Spain or wherever it was.

I was going to suggest they should have got the art destorer of monkey jesus to go to town on them.

Also I was determined to use the phrase "Monkey Jesus". :lol:

Yeah I'm not precious about preserving religious art any more than I am preserving billboard adverts.

Good for knowing the snake oil pedlars from the real snake oil pedlars who'd prescribe uranium based face creams. :coffee:

That famous painting of the last supper isn't much better. They show it on Da Vinci Code programs.
If that's the best Da Vinci could do, I don't know what all the fuss was about.

I think it's been as sympathetically restored as the monkey jesus.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
