Re: Robert Indiana

Quote:

After pirated versions of the design began to appear in excess during the late 1960s, Indiana attempted to copyright his work, but this was rejected on the grounds that a single word cannot be protected.

I suppose it's similar to how the programmatic implementation of a typeface is protected (the font), but the typeface itself isn't if someone copies it by writing their own code.

I'm weirding myself out that I have a harder time looking away from this than I did the RNC. I suppose it's akin to watching a car wreck.

I was curious as to where the iconic square LOVE sign was from and found it was created by a man, Robert Indiana. Of course. I wonder if he got paid any licensing. Probably not.

These democrats are so tone deaf. That love picture was designed in the fifties and was an icon from the seventies, you saw it on posters every-fucking-where back then,




and it even made its way onto a postage stamp:




I have no idea what they are doing reaching back to something so past its sell-by date. It would be like trying to appeal to the young tech savvy voters by telling an anecdote about this:




The only possible rationale that I can think of is that it is a shoutout to Peace Park in Philly which has a sculpture based on the image:



Even that though is idiotic. Way too regional. Who the hell knows there is a peace park in Philly with an antiquated "LOVE" sculpture?

Do they think they are being hip like the old school lettering from the seventies at the beginning of Mr. Robot?



Because that doesn't work either. Mr. Robot is cool because it ironic young-people nostalgia for simpler times.

An old person doing seventies nostalgia just seems like someone who never changed with the times.

Hilary in 76!

None of us succeeds unless all of us succeeds?

I'm sure that I could think of one or two exceptions to that commie-maxim.

[weambulance]

I'm going to say they didn't give the "LOVE" thing nearly that much thought. Some college intern probably searched "love" in google images, picked the first thing that caught her eye and ran with it.

The design of the poster on the whole is quite amateurish. On second thought, given the way these people work it probably wasn't an intern at all, but some DNC staffer's kid who got paid $250k for it.

[hydrogonian]

Do you think that they all practice the MLK vocal style or just mimic it subconsciously?

[Gmac]

Dems are editing the signs the DNC are handing out.

[Libertas]

My mom just called me. She thought the signs they're holding up were telling you to love Trump.





LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!

I thought I was going to get annoyed watching the SJWism but this is just fucking hilarious!

Just started watching. Whoever these two fat Latina women are, they look disgusting.

The DNC convention has too many fat, semi-menopausal women speaking on stage.

[Liberty Sea]

If Clinton camp hired a master persuader, he probably doesn't like Clinton a lot. He quickly learned that she is a cunt, I suppose.

[MMX2010]

Speech-givers have the exact same energy as perpetually offended mid-forties nuns, and the crowd is tepidly cheering most of their talking points.

[Libertas]

^^My thoughts as well.

"My name is Marty Walsh, and I am an alcoholic."

This whole convention is a menagerie of the abysmal.

Ironic. The interpretation of the 2016 DNC convention....those "ladies" were also called "Progressives".

Hillary cannot win this. No matter what she does, she is fucked.

We are watching the left implode in real time.

Trump has won the battle this week, but it's going to be a long war. She has the media in her pantsuit pocket to reinforce her cuck base and smear Trump 24/7. It's going to be close.

The scariest part about the Clintons is that they are incredibly damaged. At this point, the PTB can have both of them jailed at the drop of a hat, they're a great pair of slaves to their masters.

Night 1 for the RNC:

- Governors, veterans, cops, Marcus Luttrell, Benghazi guys, Benghazi grieving mother, Giuliani, General Flynn.

Night 1 for the DNC:

- Old hags, perpetually aggrieved minorities, and beta males.

This is a fucking massacre.

Marty Walsh's speech made me realize how exceptional my brother's mocking Massachusetts accent is. (He calls them Massholes.)

[Dr. Howard]

blech. Demi Lovato is cursed with a terrible body. Its like her body fat distribution is backwards...fat arms and thighs but no tits...I feel bad for her.

edit 1...and still bernie chanting

edit 2...wtf, why is she singing?!

[MMX2010]

It's funny how quaky and unconfident her speech was, and how little energy the crowd derived from her song, which is high energy.

Her song is crap. She looked like a ballon sculpture of a woman, those sleeves were about to rip.

Lol about this cuck from Oregon talking about Trump using foreign workers... Let's see you mention the TPP, bitch!!!
