FAUX FUNK turns David Staffords stomach

[Alicia Starr]

David found this piece littered in a walmart parking lot. You can imagine how excited he was thinking he had found an authentic collage. "It turns out to be an A-1 primo example of the corporate co-option of collage". The other side is a typical Kraft food packaging for a couple of crackers and "cheese like substance".

David quotes Bob Dylan, "We thought we could live forever in funk. Our chances really were a million to one".

I ran my hand over this card several times swearing i could feel a raised image. Nope, it's an authentic C.C.C.

Do you think Kraft Foods will interpret this post as a promo?

Side note: this card arrived a week or so before the Chrysler and Bob Dylan Super Bowl Commercial. 

Thanks David. YOu always make me laugh.

Haa! Diane, one of those fake hand addressed envelopes just arrived. Fooled once again into opening it. This one was a fancy invitation on card stock to some life planning seminar. If only i planned my life. I could have gotten a free toaster.

as they say....follow the filthy lucre.  The whole thing is truly funked up

[David Stafford]

Let's make this a class action suit. The True Purveyors of Funk vs these Corporate Shites who would co-opt every human impulse and put it in the service of filthy lucre. We want no money just a few choice human sacrifices upon the altar of True Funk. No more "cost of doing business" money...I want throbbing human organs removed from the living flesh eaters of True Funk. That's all...Is that asking too much?

what's cooler than processed meat for kids?  this reminds of those envelopes that come faux hand addressed to get you to open them because you aren't quite sure they are junk mail.  everyone has a price I guess.

definately gonna sue--I coined the term Kabobulator--thieving mac and cheese heads

Yes, Angie. Questioning indeed...

I'm intrigued by this cheese-like substance. And Bob did a tv commercial? I feel a tad ill now.

[David Stafford]

thank you, Alicia...And Sir Richard, a deep bow from the waist to see you weigh in on this Corporate Co-option of the Funk....how low can they go....Diane Keys should sue their asses for copyright violation and malfeasance and other things too...Thank you, Angie and Ms Belka too...

06.02.14 Dare Ms. Alicia Starr,  I do admire the systematic way in which David Stafford turns the Oblivious into the Obvious.  Somehow I missed the Super Bore commercial but nowadays it is possible to retrieve "what's past is past"....what can I say??? Dylan disappoints once more (remember the electric guitar incident of yesteryear?)---selling out once again....but then again, isn't that the name of the game...what it's all about??? Yeah, the  Johnny Cash stamps are nice. (I am reminded of the fact  that we (all of us so-called "mail artists") need to be pushing at the USPS for an authentic Ray Johnson postage stamp...before the whole system goes to sleep....but we are likely to see a gummed portrait of country singer Johnny Paycheck before that happens.) Actually...I think big (& little) corporations were mining the territory of  Street Art long before anyone else....Samo,...Samo . God Bless Americuss everyone. Richard Canard
