The Courtauld Gallery in London has removed two items from its gift shop and online retail platform relating to the artist Vincent Van Gogh after some arts commentators claimed that the products belittled mental health issues.
Rather than give the game, I’m interested in what items you think were tasteless enough that the Gallery had to remove them from public sale. Story Here
Decoratively painted ear wax removal kits.
Um, the gun he shot himself with?
Van Gough ear-muffs.
A 50% off sale on earwax removal kits
Gutless wankers.
As they tell us (humans), “If you don’t like em, don’t buy em!”
Fuck Off
Eat Shit
And Die.

This themeing can work with other generes too. How about an Amy Winehouse exhibit that ends in an ACTUAL winehouse?
…what, too soon?
An ear eraser and soap. I can see where the soap would get a few people excited. Most mentally ill people don;’t know when they smell. Dunno where to place the ear eraser, it’s got me stumped. I could see if it were shaped like a short bus or something like that.
The Democrat cities with Government shooting galleries can name them after Kurt Cobain….
Bathrooms. Some people find it difficult to Gogh in public.
Let’s see, the London gallery is making money holding the exhibit and I’m sure those who own the masterpieces are getting a share. So how much of a cut will the gallery (and owners) give to mental health organizations to help the mentally ill? I mean I think it is insensitive to take advantage of a tortured artist even if he is not alive
Don’t feel shy, make that gun you bought be useful! No sissy russian roulette, just pull the trigger, man the fuck up!
C’mon man – it’s the masks!

Dammit!!!
There used to be a concept known as humor. It came in many colors and flavors.
Copies of the recent Hunter Biden Artworks.
Fancy mail in ballots.
He’s still dead? Isn’t he?
A mobile restroom in a van shaped like an ear. Known as the Go Van. Logo will be the famous self portrait.
Oh did I hurt your feelings?
Rub the cat the wrong way?
Pushed your buttons?
Ruffled your feathers?
Unknown to me I somehow disrespected you?
Get some counseling.
Oh well.
I’m not crazy, you’re crazy coffee mugs…
Mental illness is no joke to us Democrats, it’s a way of life T-Shirts.
Aside from the obviously ludicrous sensitivity someone is overdoing, the Courtauld Gallery is one of London’s hidden gems. It’s full of great paintings and has a wonderful inner courtyard. Considering how many famous, great artists were manic-depressives, alcoholics, misogynists, wife-beaters, drug addicts, misanthropes, racists, homosexualists, womanizers and other types of seedy, talented, interesting characters, the Courtauld Gallery is going to be severely limiting their gift shop sales.
Woke progtards: “we take mental illness extremely seriously. So much, in fact, that we fight every day for a mentally ill person to live in a tent beside a busy highway, and for them to steal from everyone in order to get drugs that will kill them sooner than later.”
Leftists have no sense of humor
Tahitian sex dolls.
Tulip, iris, sunflower, iris, and poppy shaped butt plugs?
Sign on Door “Insensitive to some, displays ahead, turn back now” “No refunds”
Give for better mental health… “Or I’ll kill ‘ya”
The official slippery-handled Vincent straight razor.
In a presentation case.
I wonder how much absinthe had to do with artists losing their minds.
A big plastic or rubber ear with Van Gogh’s well known “signature” signature in one corner, i.e., “Vincent”, would be a nice addition to my mantel.
Painting on velvet with dogs playing poker with Van Gogh, who has cut his ear off and thrown it in the pot in one last attempt to get a winning hand. Title of painting: Vincent’s Last Hand.
A table top sculpture of Van Gogh’s wife pulling him along by his one good ear. “Vincent, you come home right now or I’ll cut off your other ear”.
Van Gogh wasn’t as nuts as Boston Corbett, the guy credited with killing John Wilkes Booth.
Corbett cut of his junk with a pair of scissors. Ouch! I bet that hurt.
When I take my glasses off and paint, I’ve discovered I’m an Impressionist master.

FUR!!!! I want this painting. Make it happen.
rubber Spock ears?

If I were to wear a watch I’d buy the Monty Python Ministry of silly walks watch but unfortunately it’s out of stock. Darn!
@Bamo
I think you mean: Van Gogh ear-muff.
soap-making is a cottage industry and can be easily made, even this sunflower type.
@Dry
It should be called absinthe minded. I tried it a few years ago. Awful. Blechhh.
