Because they're hideous? :mellow:
Hideous?  They're rather bland, but I think you might be overstating things a bit.

Surely you've heard of the great British art of understatement?  You wouldn't want to get transported to the colonies, would you?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

How anyone, confronted with those exceedingly popular paintings, can support the Universal Franchise is beyond me  :hmm:

They look like something Dame Edna would wear.  Bland, they ain't.

You can kill the man, but you can't kill the dream:

The dream of overly large well lit houses in safe neighborhoods and trips to Disney World apparently.  :unsure:

Maybe the dream of jailbait in short skirts.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

:yes:  I think "ghastly" would have been the more appropriate British characterization.

It's so hypnotic...
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The sad thing is that when the girlfriend linked me this story Friday night, my first thought was "I could have SWORN he was older than that."  Guess the subject material made me think "old fogey." :blush:

Also, a wild SAV appeared! :o

Just in case all you tragic art lovers were curious... 

QuoteThomas Kinkade died of accidental alcohol, Valium overdose
UPDATED 7:58 PM PDT May 07, 2012

LOS GATOS, Calif. - An autopsy has found that artist Thomas Kinkade's death was caused by an accidental overdose of alcohol and prescription tranquilizers.

The Santa Clara County medical examiner concluded that the self-described "Painter of Light" stopped breathing at his Los Gatos home on April 6 from a combination of alcohol and Valium.

Before his death, the 54-year-old Kinkade produced idyllic scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes that he sold in a nationwide chain of galleries.

In recent years, however, he had run into personal difficulties, including a 2010 bankruptcy filing by one of his companies.

He also separated from his wife and was arrested for DUI in Carmel.

His brother has said Kinkade battled alcoholism and relapsed before his death.

A judge last month issued a restraining order against a former girlfriend that prevents her from talking about the late painter.
