The Onion reports of an artwork that, at last, has found a way to speak back at all the derisive comments it has received (http://www.theonion.com/articles/piece-of-art-for-sale-on-coffeehouse-wall-has-had,19989/). "A few jokes here and there is one thing, but after a while, you know, it starts to hurt. I can't help the way I look, and yet people come in here and insist on smugly pointing out my every little flaw. Why don't they just lay off?" "It's not like I'm that bad," the painting added. "What, do these people think they're in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or something? It's a fucking coffee shop." The painting sells for USD150 at a coffee shop in Madison. WIsconsin.
