Former MIT Professor Who Claims He Was Robbing Banks As An "Art Project" Is a Genius

 

WPRI – A former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor is accused of robbing a pair of banks in Providence and New York City, but investigators say he wasn’t necessarily after the money. New York police say Joseph Gibbons was arrested last week and charged with robbing a city bank on New Year’s Eve. Providence Police Major David Lapatin said “supposedly he had admitted to robbing a bank in Providence” to NYPD in the process. Lapatin said the robbery in Providence occurred back in November at the Citizens Bank branch on Westminster Street. “As soon as New York is done charging him, then we’ll proceed with charges right away here,” he added. In the New York robbery, police said Gibbons passed a note to the bank teller demanding cash, and he got away with a little more than $1,000. The Providence robbery was conducted in the same fashion, though city police wouldn’t disclose how much cash was taken. The New York Post reports that the suspect filmed the New York robbery as part of a so-called “art project” he was working on. In Gibbons’ bio on the MIT website, it states his “work in film and video is characterized by a time-honored approach” and “a laboratory for self-observation and experimentation.”

 

If there is one thing I hate, it’s Ke$sha songs. But if there are two things I hate, it’s Ke$sha songs and art. I’ve said it time and time again and will say it on my death bed- art is fucking stupid and quite possibly the dumbest thing on Earth is when people claim their stupid shit is art. I will remind you of this bitch who threw up on a canvas and called it art, and of course my least favorite piece of art in the world, this blue rectangle. If you haven’t seen it before, I will let you know how much it sold for below. And if you have, you will probably still gag at the price.

 
 

 
 

43.8 million dollars. That is right. 43.8 million. Never forget it. Or do so you don’t toss and turn at night wondering why YOU couldn’t have had the idea to finger paint a ping pong table first.

So the MIT professor who got caught robbing banks claiming it’s art is a genius. Because if that bullshit blue rectangle is art, so is robbing a bank. How can any judge and jury say otherwise when actual trash that was called “art” and valued at 3.7 million dollars got thrown away by janitors? Proves that anything is art as long as you call it art. This bank robber might as well be Picaso for all I’m concerned.
