A Man Was Ordered to Build a Fence to Hide His Boat. He Asked an Artist to Paint the Boat on the Fence

Hilarity—and virality—ensued.

Etienne Note: The idiocy of "Government" if often exposed in the funniest of ways.

There’s a new high water mark for passive aggressiveness in the visual arts—and the pun is intended.

When the town of Seaside, California ordered homeowner Etienne Constable to build a fence to conceal the boat in his driveway, he erected the fence all right. And then he hired his neighbor, artist Hanif Panni, to paint a mural on the fence—realistically depicting the boat itself. Call it passive-aggressive, call it malicious compliance, but in any event, call it hilarious.

“I’m not a rule-breaker but I like to make a political statement as necessary as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement,” Constable told NBC affiliate KSBW of Monterey Bay. The city had threatened a $100 fine if Constable didn’t comply, but, ironically, he ended up paying for more than that for the artist’s fee alone…

This time, though, the Amazon-owned grocery chain just slaps us right in the face with a surprising (and alarming) partnership deal.  This latest deal raises serious questions about Whole Foods’ commitment to its founding principles and its customers’ trust in its brand…

War criminal Ariel Sharon's legacy returns to haunt Gaza

The brutal Netzarim corridor is being reinstated in Gaza to divide north from south

by Vanessa Beeley

Netzarim was unrivaled when it came to physically bisecting the Gaza Strip with its very presence, embittering the lives of its inhabitants and abusing them. That’s why it was built.

The terrifying checkpoint and the threatening voice over the loudspeaker that stopped the busy traffic between the northern and southern sections of the Gaza Strip whenever a settler mother drove her child to an after-school activity in an armored, heavily guarded convoy – that is something I will never forget…

Is Anne Frank's Diary a Forgery?

A Swiss court has ruled that Anne Frank was not the sole author of the book that bears her name.

By Eve Mykytyn

According to legend, Otto Frank recovered his daughter’s diary from Miep Gies, the woman who hid the Frank family during World War II. Frank published the diary under Anne’s name in 1947. In response to skeptics, Otto Frank angrily insisted that he had not authored the diary. He claimed that while he may have edited out a few embarrassing details, the diary was ‘penned’ entirely by his daughter.

In 1980, Otto Frank sued Hamburg resident Ernst Roemer for spreading the accusation that Otto Frank had written his dead daughter’s diary. Relying on the testimony of handwriting experts that all of the diary’s pages had been written by one person, the court upheld the authenticity of the diary. An appeal by Roemer was unsuccessful…

When Will Treason be on the Docket For Our U.S. Leaders?

The Migrant Invasion: A Trojan Horse for chaos, unrest, and the demise of America.

by Reinette Senum

A friend once shared a terrifying story about her boyfriend, whom we'll call Reggie. Reggie, a sound technician, had visited San Francisco to bid on a soundproofing project for a large warehouse in the city's industrial area. What he encountered there left him running with his tail between his legs.

Upon entering the expansive industrial building, Reggie was confronted by a large banner draped across the far wall depicting China's communist revolutionary and founding father of the People's Republic of China (CCP), Mao Zedong. As Reggie surveyed the floor, he discovered dozens of long tables, each equipped with computers and hundreds of Chinese drone operators conducting mysterious operations…
