    Sure there was the random fella that smeared elephant shite on a canvas and sold it for millions.


    It doesn't need to make sense to normal people.

    This was an incredibly stupid and ignorant thing to do. Maybe he should educate himself on the actions of the khmer rouge genocides against their own people.

    Smiling pictures of the victims who would have been slowly tortured before surrerfing a horrible death. People who survived the killing fields, security prison 21, experimentation, Cham villages massacres, or watched while guards beat children to death against a tree while laughing.


    How the fcuk could somebody be so stupid?

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Its all the more stupid and sickening because this guy labels himself as an 'artist'. When the Khmer Rouge grabbed the reigns of power in Cambodia, they utilised all forms of known media to broadcast a message to the concerned citizens of Cambodia, citizens that wanted to rebuild their country, These citizens that included the likes of doctors, engineers, teachers and definitely artists. The message was 'sign up and join us and tell us how you can help rebuild Cambodia'. All those people that did sign up were eventually soon shot in the head not long afterwards, and then finally thrown in an open pit in a swamp.
