This is hilarious. I don't understand how she thought this was a good idea or anyone let her do it.

I was really upset because the original was an incredible work of art. Just look at that shading and that skin tone. The way he holds his body perfectly conveys the suffering of grief in silent dignity and his divinity.
The new version is pretty funny looking, but it's hard to ignore that a great work of art is forever lost because of this.

It'd be funnier if it happened to the Mona Lisa, the scream, or american gothic. I had never heard of this painting prior to this happening.
It'd be sad but I'd still laugh.

It's a shame that something so nice was ruined, but when I look at this from my usual view that everything is absurd and meaningless and we're all going to die anyway and what does it really all matter, I find this profoundly hilarious, and have been laughing about it literally all day.

i feel like that philosophy would make it even worse because if i felt life was meaningless and pointless the one thing that would have any meaning or validity WOULD BE like art and music so i would cling to that as my only solace.
oh fuck i just described myself :(

how could those guys trust an 60 year old woman, that cant fix a brick, out of a wall, and let her ruin an ancient painting? god!
on the other side, this could be funny, becaoze it reminds me of mr.bean, in the painting ''fix''. (in the good bean movie)
