Terrible, that could have gone down the Foodbank?

This guy better put his next dump up for auction.

Finally they have founded a function for art.

That’s just ridiculous a banana worth of $120 thousand bucks while people are starving around the world. Money laundering it is. Good thing that the comedian showed the real deal of this “piece of art shit”!

Oh, the gullibility of the art world.

I knew it. Check my time line.

how did it taste?

The pay off was discovered, no payment no crime

A fool and his money are easily parted.

Money laundering by buying useless art, the new clever tactics of money launders. And right under the nose if liberal western governments who do nothing to stop it.

This was NOT art. It was a banana, nothing else

Mocking the hungered

Money laundry mate, he clearly says 'you may see me in jail'

Did he buy it first? Starving children want to know

The alternative was a mouldy smear on the wall
