Cultural Retard

I don't know what people hope to achieve when they touch stuff in museums when they're not supposed to, but this is what I feel like doing when I see them:

Yeah.

  1. No, no... people touch things to check whether they are for real. If I meet Nelson Mandela or Pamela Anderson's boobs on the street, I would feel compelled to touch them too.

  3. I: Yeah, you're right; that does make sense. Pamela Anderson's boobs are quite compelling, though possibly not real... (I know, I know! That wasn't the point you were making..!)

    T: I once saw a guy touching "The Coronation of Napoleon" painting by David at the Versailles and I was too shocked for words. I just stood there dumbfounded, but this is what I might have done to him. You can't UNTOUCH those things! GAH!

  6. M: It depends on the artwork! Some of the stuff like outdoor sculptures are fine (I mean, it gets rained on and stuff anyway, right?) I think, but paintings are probably a no-no. In any case, if you're going to do it, do it when I'm not looking!

    C: The image of you constantly slapping your dad's hand...and then your dad sneakily trying to touch paintings when you've turned your back. HAHA
