The 15 Most Expensive Paintings in the World seems more interesting than The 50 Sluttiest American Apparel Ads of All Time. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

      i’d get up on that bacon, or the rubens.

      the pollock at number 1 is the biggest emotional $ fallacy around.

      Um, interesting? Really? Seems more interesting?

      Let’s see: teenage girls, like, really high, showing their pussies and saying “oh, please, fuck me” to the camera guy or daubs of paint splattered on cardboard of some dude’s face or whatever selling for all kinds of money because Sonic Youth record sales are down.

      Hm. I don’t know. But, I’m slowly inching towards the pussy-shots–as more “interesting.”

      What’s revealing, however, is just how much money both the paintings and the pictures generate. Remember: you too can be a star (as long as you have money or are close to money)!

      Jones McJerk? Reveal yourself. You are funny!

      which set is more interesting after um.. jouissance.. i think is the point.

      yeah, but fr entirely different reasons.

  40. daniel bailey

      those ads are the main ones that put out, in comparison to all american apparel ads. i did it with at least 6 of the advertisements. which suggests that maybe the list is a good list.

      i like the idea that the advertisements themselves are slutty instead of the images being characteristically slutty.

      i don’t understand ‘slutty’ in this context.

      are the ads having sex with multiple partners?

      they’re just images. pretty images too i think.

      but it is an interesting idea that images can be ‘slutty’ as opposed to simply pornographic.

      and plus i think it’s great that they have the balls to be so blatantly sexual. it’s almost to the point where the sex appeal doesn’t sell the clothes because it’s just so glaringly obvious that’s what they’re going for.
