That will show that painting to stop using so much Oil, the big greedy oil hungry painting.

I’m all for environmentalism, we need to be doing more as a species, but this is just being a vandal and a total jerk.

Tomato soup thrown over Vincent Van Gogh's famous Sunflowers painting

They also glued themselves to the wall.

[funkygunther]

they threw it over some glass, the painting is fine

it's whatever, a publicity stunt that's getting publicity

 

[LordCBH]

Just throw these wackos in a dark cell and forget about them.

 

[chromhound]

Environmentalists wasting food ? How ironic

 

[thefool]

They look exactly as expected.

 

[F0rneus]

Van Gogh might be the greatest painter ever. Fuck these clowns.

Demonstrator Phoebe Plummer, 21, said: ‘What is worth more, art of life?

‘Is it worth more than food, worth more than justice?

‘Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?

‘The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold hungry families.

‘They can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup,’ they added, waving one of the two soup cans.

These people are fucking morons. Probably more about self-promotion than a cause.

 

[BadBurger]

It's been a long while since I've seen one of these stupid protest stunts.

Yeah, PETA's been awfully quiet through the pandemic. I wonder what idiocy they've been cooking up.

 

[Alebrije]

Yea the irony is that oil is involved on the cloths they wear and even the tomato can...

And if a lot of people can not affort oil or gas as a way to heat their houses so much less can use solar panels or eolic energy...

Oil will be here for at least 50 years for massive consume and 100 or more for industrial process

 

[poppabk]

These people are fucking morons. Probably more about self-promotion than a cause.

Yeah, how the fuck they think that stopping oil will alleviate the energy crisis is ... well I can't even think of the words for what it is, it goes beyond delusional.

 

[BadBurger]

In college I lived down the street from their headquarters in Norfolk, VA (I miss my often flooded ODU campus days...). For years we just sort of dealt with their random stunts in the backdrop of life.

How does an oil painting made in 1891 involve the modern oil industry?

 

[winjer]

Self centered idiots, that think little stunts like this will change anything.
In reality this does nothing but to fill their small ego's, so they can brag about it to their friends on social media.

 

[German Hops]

Fucking ridiculous.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Radicalized robotic morons.

They all have that same "look" to them. Almost like they were shit out of a factory test tube.

 

[GymWolf]

Noobs, this is the only correct way put tomato sauce all over a masterpiece

Ketchup girl is the kind of crazy that makes me think “let’s do it. I’ve lived long enough.”

Of course they have dyed hair.

The only thing this group have in common is probably fleas.

Those tow chicks is what happens when you never say no to your kids.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

People need to stop backdating perceived ills by measure of contemporary sensibilities.

 

[Vestal]

How in the world does throwing tomato soup at a painting translate to climate activism. Oh sorry, sorry, throwing tomato soup at the protective glass of a painting.

 

[Valedix]

I'd like to imagine their thought process.

Lets vandalise a oil painting that was done centuries ago with soup to tell the world this painting causes climate change, then quickly become two of the most hated women on the Internet.

Fucking brainless fucks.

What, you’re telling me you’ve never successfully made a point by taking a dump on the living room floor? Pfft, amateur

 

[Skifi28]

I hate people that waste food. At least have the decency to throw your own feces.

[StreetsofBeige]

I guess I'm wrong.

For a minute there, I was thinking maybe for the first time ever, the protesters would be clean cut office workers, construction workers, or look like suburban parents taking their kids to soccer practice.

One of these times, it wont be woke looking, drugged up drop outs.

 

[Kenpachii]

both of them 84m in the hole on there name that they can never get rid off. See how they like it the days after.

 

[Aggelos]

The Painting is unharmed. Too much fuss for nothing. Move on.

It's not a fuss to call retards lead by false altruism and underdeveloped emotions.... retards.

It's the act, not the outcome.

are you talking about these kids or my own kids? I’m confused

If they had ruined the painting with tomato soup would it stop you using oil more or less than the painting being undamaged?

I think their point is right, we should be using less oil, but the manner they went about it could be better.

 

[March Climber]

These people are fucking morons. Probably more about self-promotion than a cause.

Regardless of intent, news articles, social media posts, and this thread have been created.

Mission Success.

Thank Jeebus. All is well and morons are going to get punished.

 

[dr_octagon]

Why are dollar store Edward Furlong and Jennifer Lawrence throwing tomato sauce at a painting?

 

[Fbh]

This shit accomplished nothing, if anything It will turn more people against their cause. But their faces are now on news sites across the world.
So yeah, as always it's just same old attention seeking.

What's their Resetera usernames?

Van Gogh's Sunflowers back on display after oil protesters threw soup on it

The Sunflowers painting is on display again after climate activists threw tins of tomato soup on it.

It’s been cleaned and is back on display. Resume using oil as normal.

That’s the thing. I keep seeing people say they’re getting the attention they wanted but it’s the wrong kind of attention. People aren’t discussing their message, they’re expressing their disgust.
