Winner
"It gets worse. My ass is in a de Kooning." �Mike Mariano
Finalists
"My God! I had thought that Mondrian had eschewed representationalism since the publication of "De Nieuwe Beelding in de Schilderkunst," or at least, since the founding of De Stijl. Now that I see a realist portrait in a late and otherwise neoplasticist work, I shall have to rethink some deeply held beliefs about the currents of modernist art." �kejo
"Have you ever wished for something so bad... And then when it came true you were filled with regret and remorse?" �jake
Honorable mention
[staring at woman] "Now you know what it feels like, bitch!" �MAtt
"Ha! When I told you you couldn't tell a Mondrian from a hole in the wall, I didn't realize that I could prove it by simply walking around here and sticking my head through this hole in the wall."� GilbertBob
[Woman:] "Oh my GOD! Wha - who on earth would put a freshly decapitated human head in the midst of a piece of art??? ...oh, right, Damien Hirst." �Vance
"Why am I talking to a painting? That seals it; I'm getting a prescription for Thorazine today!" �Tom
"Hold on! I'll be out as soon as I finish screwing the girl with pearl earring!" �dwilk
"Psssst! Wanna see me descend a staircase...NUDE?!?" �Chris
"In America you try to wrap your head around Modern Art. But in Soviet Union..." �TG Gibbon
"Worst... Where's Waldo... ever." �mypalmike
"Psst, realistbitchessaywhat?" � Mr. Know It All
"Oh no! That Mondrian has been defaced! Or perhaps needs to be defaced! Because it has a face in it! And it shouldn't!" �Rubrick
"Excuse me, but could you scribble a caption under me please? Don't worry, it doesn't have to make sense." �RichM
"Too inside." �Matthew Hutson
"This week�s winner: the entries thread itself. Its arc matches almost perfectly that of the cartoon�s subject, so-called modern art. Without the initial burst of creativity. Just several pre-exhausted cycles of self-referential would-be cleverness. Sadly petering out after just four days (decades). Yet we�ll all stand around applauding �the winner,� so as not to appear square." �Optimus Sub-Prime
Almost honorable mention
Confidential to Joel: Shouldn't it be "THE CAKE IS A LIE"?
