There's nothing like a couple thousand years of of repetition and an iconic painting by an Old Master to get story to get lodged inside the heads of the creators of pop culture.
Leonardo da Vinci's 15th century depiction of Jesus announcing that one of his 12 disciples would betray him is so iconic that it has been co-opted by those wishing to give weight to their parodies, tributes and caricatures. What I find interesting is who gets portrayed as Christ and who gets to be his Judas.

Although this site is one of the best I have visited to have a good and sound lugh, I think this is kind of Not Appropriate, specially the MacDonall's one.
ReplyDeletei think that the person above me needs to realize that these pictures, aside from their obvious religious allusions, are not really about anything other than the pictures. So stop being offended by something that's not offensive.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder, however, what makes the "MacDonalls" one particularly offensive?
and just who are you to deem what is "not appropriate," Anonymous #1? If you don't find this funny, then don't look at it.....the internet is vast, I'm sure you'll find something that doesn't offend your poor, frail eyes.....

ReplyDeleteThe Tarantino one could have been WAY better. Like, in between Butch and Bill. That fails. Seriously. Take that out of there.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
