IAAL, and much as I'd love to see the Patriot Depot douches hauled into court, I very much doubt the damages would be worth the attorney time. (Unlike in the U.K., it's hard to get your attorney costs covered by the other side.) I doubt they were able to peddle much of the merchandise - especially the $4k "painting"- to the trucknutz/numbnutz demographic they're exploiting.

He may have realized that 90% of his "art" is asking for lawsuits ... and maybe with the rubes clued in to the $100 cost of his $4,000 inkjet "paintings", he realized that his scam was over and done with. And then theres the fact that this story is rapidly going viral, promising to make him the laughing stock of the entire intertubes. (Google "bugnon breitbart" to see how fast this thing is snowballing.)

In any event, a victory for the good guys ... even if it's only witless teabaggers who will benefit from our efforts. I will patiently await their expressions of gratitude.

Oh, and we may have started <a href="http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/7Pr6V.jpg" target="_blank">a new meme. </a>

Making Bitpart's admittedly fat head 20% bigger than the original character's whole fucking helmet may have something to do with it.

So that painting is as phony as a James O'Keefe video?

I like the rooster better.

Might be worth using this link in the article, so folks can still enjoy the BlightArt in all its glory.

Which reminds me - did you notice the ©2012 at the end of my post on the Patriot Depot page?

It's the goldfish shoes! Although BrightFart would probably have insisted on pirhanas.

Even Kincaide wouldn't stoop this low! Though the arms probably would have been even more fucked up

Yet somewhere at this minute someone is posting online for the 'photo of Obama dressed in muslim garb' to prove to someone he is indeed a furriner. <a href="http://techbuddha.files.wor..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://techbuddha.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/bar...">http://techbuddha.files.wor...

Just turn that gun around, and it's close to being pretty good.

For extra lulz (or horror), scroll down to the early comments on that <a href="http:\/\/patriotupdate.com\/articles\/the-breitbart-painting-i-am-compelled-to-fight" target="_blank">Patriot Update</a> page. There are some serious psychoses on display there.
