Jan 31 2009This Is What A Billion Dollars Looks Like

I like the correlation of how we as a species have chosen to value or de-value ourselves and lives. But this is a little... um... dumb.

jajajaja i am first, so the guy that put first is isnt going to be first. Sucker

So this means that the bags of manure stacked exactly the same way as these pieces at Wal-Mart are also to be considered as art?

FAIL!! This post fails on so many levels. Who the hell cares!?

This is just like that time a government tried to save a failing economy by throwing more money at the problem, solving nothing. Had the morons had the insight to monitor idiots running the finance sector, they could have saved hundreds of billions of dollars, and many wooden pallets apparently.

They had to dump these billions of dollars into the economy as quickly as possible and, with their newly printed billions, sand immediately became much more valuable than the money. Rolex became the richest company in the world due to their overwhelming hoard of specialty sand. This magical sand could cure the woes of the entire world and Rolex became an instant savior. Unfortunately, Rolex did not want to assist in the new sand trade and tried to pawn off seashells as the most valuable commodity for trade. The governments were having no part of any of this and immediately declared government cheese the most valuable commodity in the universe.

I want to know how he had the money to make that in the first place....

Wow that's really cool.

Hella original idea for "art".

Wait.

Rolex sand?

That's downright retarded, as is the "Oh golly bad words!" scheme that's been implemented. Anyone that complained is a thalidomide invalid windowlicker that deserves a kick in the teeth. Hypersensitive, clucking housewives and morons.

Cancer.

"I'd f*** on top of that mountain of cash!"
Bill Gates probably has a football field of these cash pallets lying around...Ladies up for a swim?"

Wohoo!!

Top Ten!

ok its cool to c what a billion dollars would look like however, art may be the wrong choice of words.
LMAO @ 4!

1. tell a group of people you need a billion dollars for art
2. collect money, stack on pallets
3. stuff pockets
4. RUN LIKE HELL
5. profit!

i hate esurance commercials
my bank account is negative 105.89 right now and looking at these photos makes me feel better that i'm not a douche bag

13? yes!

@2: You fail on so many levels.

could i have just one palette?

just enough to keep my life together and do nothing

please? could i please just have one?

i dont deserve it, i know. but i would really like it

all in all

you are all just bricks in the wall

@#3 It's the placement in the art gallery/ museum that makes it art, not the "art" itself. Whatever is placed there is art, not matter how stupid. Like Fountain, no?

That said, what is wrong with "artists" these days? Why doesn't anybody paint like the old masters anymore? Why make crap like this?

What makes you think that I'll won't be able to see (legally) a billion dollars in real life?

Speechless.

but I just gotnaked. Do i dance now? "oh lalala, lala, la..." no?....yes?...

The way paper money is going, a real gold coin will be worth more than that stack of paper soon.

Geez people, stop acting as if you never have see that, we all have had a pool full of money at some point of our lives

I've got to agree with anyone here that said "fail." This is stupid, the funniest part of this is, the art market is crashing too, so maybe someone will end up buying this for less than it's "worth."

We need a return to reason in the world, crud like this should be burnt up joker style, and the people who "make" and/or praise it should be drug out into the street and shot.

Wow.

EPIC PHAIL.

Clck the Lnk.

I've been in art classes since I was 8. I have honed my drawing and painting skills to near photographic detail, does this make me a good artist? The sad truth is no. An art teacher once told me "talent has nothing to do with art". Now on a personal level I don't agree with this, but I also know that what makes art ART these days is the idea behind it. Now I find it novel to display an unfathomable amount of money in just a few palettes or a whole live span in the same few palettes but I don't think this artist really deserves publicity or attention. This artist isn't doing anything revolutionary or new in the art world or in the world in general.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake bewcause the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was to waste 30 million dollars in 30 days in order to inerit 300 million dollars. The catch is that he isn't allowed to tell anyone what he's up to.

Oooh! I love money.

Sweet Top 30, Soon number 1 will be MiNe... Pew Pew

My Zimbabwean buddy takes this amount of bank notes with him when he goes to buy a loaf of bread. When he gets there and sees the empty shelves, he says to the shopkeeper "I see you don't have any bread today." The shopkeeper says "no, it's milk that we don't have today."

Of course the first thing we think when we see all that money, is this:

FAKE!!!!

This is exactly like that scene in the website Geekologie where Daisy woulndt stop making lame never back down jokes and caused the admins to remove the comments section so that she couldnt make annoying spam comments again!!!!!

I did some calculations. If this is in a bank with interest. Your yearly interest would be about 52 mill, meaning your family's generations could live on forever with this money

guys!!!! jack got run over by a bus you know jack in the box mascot for more information click on my link...

Now who is going to count that to make sure? I volunteer.

Once the current administration gets through with their agenda, it will cost 5000 for a cup of coffee, and we will all be billionaires.

POST ANOTHER GEEKY THING!!!!!

PLEASE HURRY!!!!!

I CAN FEEL THE CHANGE COMING ON!!!!!!

Too late.

I blame you, GW.

The best thing? There is an economic crisis ad below the post. Just wondering would anyone else steal it if they could?

Barack Obamination is wasting about 700 billion dollars, 700 times that, on his socialist policies!

Must be a slow day for new stuff, eh?

Even a chimp would be faster, sir.

I've seen some pretty shit art in my time, but my god, I'm tired of this pointless battle between artists on who can create the most "expensive" piece of art. Damien Hurst is a real key player in this as well- he made a diamond encrusted skull that was probably eventually pawned off to Saatchi because he's into that kinda shiney stuff.

This one takes the cake though: Buddy decides to apply for a grant and get some patronage to send a giant floating banana into space (I think the grant was the highest one could apply for, around the million mark). Then he decides, "Oh, sorry, can't...don't have enough cash, guess I'll have to cancel the project". Makes you wonder where THAT money went, eh?

what's up with stating that things 'fail on so many levels'? I may live in my parent's basement at 35 and work at a supermarket, at least I don't fail on the many levels of SuperMario on the NES!!
ZING!!

44- I bet you fail to get the princess through the first 9 levels...

i think i just came in my pantys!!!!!

Art is dead.

Thats pretty insane. I dont know which is more disturbing - the sight of $1 billion that Ill never have or the sight of funky time sand in all its glory......

Heres a section cut of the money....

Heh, heh... Ah lost nine of these in Iraq, heh heh heh.

Finally, someone who takes all of life's mysteries and represents them with bags of sand.

thas big cash man y cnt u save zimbabwe, mugabe will be very pleased 2 have it all 2 himself. hahahahahahahaha

You obviously care enough to leave such a lengthy comment!
