Entropa: Czech Minister Apologizes for offensive art

[niki89m]

That`s not a peace of art!That`s a peace of shit!Every country is mocked, but Czech republic.Romanians are not vampires and I think italians don`t make sex with footballs.And lithinanians are really nice guys.And I don`t wanna talk about Bulgaria. Every country besides Czech republic is mocked and made for laughing. I think that`s just ugly and anything but peace of art.And the fact that the "artist" was hiding in first place shows how brave he is.In "the toilet" we say "Respect to be respected"

[donpuya]

no reason ti apologize? they are mocking us, I am Romanian and I am not a vampire, italians are the best footbal players and greece is a wonderfull country, there are limits beyound we don't laugh, I say the artist is an ignorant, having an artistic ideea in mind is not enough to create someting artistic. Thank you.

[lylusx]

SHIT UGLY !

[futuramark]

[blastcapper]

[michalbeast]

Ya ya, everyone knows you're a desperate swedish wannabe nazi wanker. Ya ya. That's why you don't get to fuck anybody at all:)

[blastcapper]

[michalbeast]

[cednik]

@blastcapper: hha and you are what?

[ViriathusVingathor]

He doesn´t have to apologize,czechs didn´t do nothing,only the artist did,and its a great work,shocking,and thats the spirit,people will talk about this for ages. I believe to joke with all these countries,is what they really deserve,as they are so childish and ridiculous,for their stupid and unfounded nationalisms.

Great work!!!

[Advelka]

If you have ever been against the Czech Republic? At least we have no talent as you!=D

[kvikkurin]

WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO HUMOR, SATIRE AND THE RIDICULE OF POMPOUSNESS that Europe was so famous for? What happened to that freedom of being able to laugh at one self and others? Are we becoming hysterical, self-centered, humourless, constantly offended mourners?

[VladMSTR]

I'm sorry for czechs that they have made such a mistake, and expasially having such a dork for a minister.

And I think it tells much about other countries, not Bulgaria, that think of us like that. Yes you are just blaming some small country for that what you are doing to it. I think it's not civilised at all.

[VladMSTR]

It was so stupid relleasing that piece of shit, not even knowing that the artist was 1 not as he says at the opening. And second it uses many stereotypes and strenghten them in the mind of people. I am offended twicely or even more. First making some country toilet is really bad taste. I don't want 2 hear anything of the 'art' excuses. Just tell me how will you feel about your country if somene tells you it's full of crapp.

It's so low... I cannot express how much.

[jerrdead]

Suuperrrrr!!! A piece of art!

Well done! good idea, original, worked out to the smallest details! Witty!

But, as I see, alot of people didn`t understand an artistic hyperbole in it and a lot of people couldn`t laught at themselves, too! Regards from slovakia.

[hugoMunch]

Thats certainly not how Czechs see Bulgarians. I have never in my life heard anyone talk trash about Bulgaria. Please let's not forget it's ART.

To be perfectly honest most of it doesn't even make sense to me and regarding Bulgaria I have no fkkin clue how Cerny came up with that toilet idea, he most probably ran out of ideas before making that one actually.

[grazyarnie]

First of all I had a good laugh as I saw the artwork. At a closer look, at some countries, I was a bit concerned about the intention. Czechs love controverse people, but not in terms of offending or insulting, they love people who dont stay in line and follow strict orders and rites. And concerning the german part of the artwork: it shows a deformed symbol which stood for terror, fashism and raccism, genocide, that symbol is deformed, defect and builded now with streets

[grazyarnie]

streets which do connect the people the countries and the nations. So some could evensee it as a kind of a compliment. Out of the fallen, crashed, deformed symbol of horror now comes the symbol for traffic, together, linkage between all folks. I certainly dont know the real intention of the artist, but looking to the other projects David Černý does its no surprise at all. Anyhow I do not feel insulted by this artwork. Anyhow I dont like the toilet linkage to any country in the world

[3BEP4ETO]

That David Černý is such a cocksucker.Why didn't he made the USA or Germany look like a toilet?I know why-cause The Czech republic sucks USA and Germany ass :)

[Fuchizaa]

This is ridiculous. So they commission an "artwork" they later have to apoligise for? Anyway, the czech state must be incredibly weathly to be throwing money out of the window like this.

[draggie85]

I understand if this shows how people see certain countries and how bad it is, but really European Parliament is not a place anybody needs to mention those things even condemning them... I thought we are more than this! that ignorance or stupidity its not something that educated Europeans have to be lectured about. But if this is how Czechs see us, well thats just sad...

[komacope]

To bulgariansinoc. Yes, but you aren´t really American but Bulgarian. Are you? There are perhaps reasons why you don´t understand :-) Oh, oh, Bulgarian. You don´t have a bit of humor...

[bulgariansinoc]

Is he speaking English? I don't understand a word he's saying...

[Adrianopolis378]

You should study english...

[bulgariansinoc]

Do u mean I have to learn English? Why do I have to study English? I don't understand czechs and czech art, but the czech girls at the black sea are ok (especially when they are drunk).

[Adrianopolis378]

learn=study :o)

[bulgariansinoc]

LOL, dude you are preaching to the choir....

in Europa?

The EU is a huge disappointment for me. I will never trust in EU leaders. They have sold their souls. Ruthless capitalist business.

[dirrx]

Saša nám vyměk :D

yeah, that's consistent, Europe without censorship :-)

"In an emotional address at the state capitol Nebraska Governor, Paul Burmaster made a public apology for his state being so flat."

P.S.: I would eat my hat if the lady at 1:51 is not Jana Bobošíková, a famous attention whore and a EP member :D

[woopeea]

No reason to apologize! It's art, not everyone must understand it...

[Europeunity]

I agree...

[draggie85]

I am sorry but this is not art! it is lacking in any artistic, ideological or even aesthetic values! I understand it's message and I think it's cheap!

[FarFromEquilibrium]

oh fucking please. the EU is like a big staff infection on Europe.

[Europeunity]

How about FUCK YOU! FarFromEquilibrium.

[FarFromEquilibrium]

Go fuck yourself unified fool.

[CYBERianBoi]

Oh, what a civilised exchange of views :))
