What makes a glass copy of a Department Store Dummy worth more than $50?
ReplyDeleteUse plastic to make your rip-offs of someone else's work!
And use a reputable Insurance Company that doesn't try to duck its responsibilities!
Guess there's going to be a dearth of One-man Hip-Hop Operas in town now, right?
ReplyDelete^^6:04AM-I don't know, quit asking dumb questions. Why are you here at 6:00AM? Lonely? No life?
ReplyDeleteNope, @ 7:20, got a good night's sleep, had a cup of coffee, about to mow the lawn before it gets too hot, shower, take the wife out to lunch, live a life!
ReplyDeleteYou should try it.
Not arguing the outrageous cost of a copy-sculpture, but hell yes bill those parents. Why are they letting their kids run roughshod through the display gallery during a reception? Where were the parents in the video? I have young, rambunctious kids and guess what? They don't leave my sight in situations like that (wedding reception in a place with nice crap just sitting around). Yes, its a PITA trying to watch them, yes, it cuts down on "my" enjoyment at the event. But, that's the BS I signed up for choosing to have kids. If you parents want to just have a good ol' time and not worry about controlling your kids, spring for a babysitter. Geez, the amount of unqualified golden ghetto HS kids to watch younger kids has got to be phenomenal right now.
ReplyDelete^^I don't Know..stop asking dumb questions. Go ask the parents retard!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the line, my kids are properly supervised. Well if I’ve told you once I’ve told you 132,000 times no they are not.
ReplyDelete^^You would cause you're as slow as molasses.
ReplyDeletesome of their stuff was too far out, imho.
ReplyDeleteWell, the video clearly shows the kids running back and forth, back and forth, and mommy sitting there while her baby climbs on the junk art. Even when it falls off on the kid, she doesn't seem in a hurry to check on her son. Notice that she goes back to the couch and resumes her activity. I would blame the facility for NOT securing the piece to the pedestal for safety reasons, but Mommy Dearest's reaction tells the rest of the story. Question: What is the reason for security cameras when no one appears to be monitoring them?
ReplyDelete^^I don't know dummy? Why are you asking on here? Did you ask them yet? Jesus.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable the parents think they are being taken advantage of. I have been in stores where the policy is if you break it you buy it. Where is the outrage.
ReplyDeleteIf the child had been hurt, the narrative would totally be different.
ReplyDeletethat kid could have been killed.......
ReplyDeleteOh sure, whitey parents are threatened they gotsta PAY for that exquisite sculpture that was "totally destroyed" due to their negligence in not keeping their future ax murderer's mitts off of it.
ReplyDeleteHad it been a black/brown/Barry blend toned mama's little future NBA Hall of Famer, that letter would be apologizing profusely while offering to PAY that $100,000+ outright, plus all current and future medical & mental care TO THE PRECIOUS TYKE SEVERELY TRAUMATIZED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF NOT HAVING THE "HEAVY HAZARD POSING POTENTIAL BODILY HARM" being PROPERLY SECURED/multi-language SIGNS WARNING "DO NOT TOUCH"/and BULLET-PROOF encasement just like babymama's and little LeBron's hood has for the cashier window at their gas/liquor/smokes/payday loans locations.
