Like the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Grand
Rapids' Artprize is becoming one big, giant,
overrated pile of shit.
Or should I say, jism?
The Devos family's yearly event which is
designed for people to show off their works of
art and get rewarded something like $500,000 (a
flash in the pan for a family worth $6 billion)
is underway this week and it will go on for
something like a week and a half. Yeah, I know,
I'm kinda guessing because simply, I don't care.
I know. The artists are talented and the first
two winners of the competition were
exceptionally well-done pencil drawings that
were realistic. But sadly, let's not forget
who's sponsoring the event: the Devos family,
aka Amway.
Now, you're probably asking, "Chuck, why do you
hate the Devoses and Amway so much? They've
given so much back to the community!" I know,
you're right. I'm harsh on them at times, but
that's because deep down inside, they're evil.
Personally, I won't do business with them. I
won't buy an Amway product, nor will I ever
attend a Grand Rapids Griffins game or buy a car
at a Fox Motors dealership. I think the issue at
hand is that they are worth too much money,
they've outsourced a lot of jobs to China and
they're in bed with religious Reich groups such
as Focus on the Family and the American Decency
Association.
Being a loner with not many friends, I used to
go to the strip clubs here in Grand Rapids and
Kalamazoo. Of course, that came to an end in
2006 when a local activist, Judy Rose decided to
raise funds to challenge the city's strip club
laws, and somebody did so anonymously. According
to insiders in the industry, Rose raised a lot
of the money from the Devos family. Why? Because
she even appeared in an ad for Dick Devos'
failed campaign for governor that year.
Thankfully for Rose, the city was on her side,
and the strip clubs were forced to cover up.
Despite so many battles between the clubs and
the courts, the city and Rose won each time.
Rose felt that there was a link between strip
clubs and crime, but even Mayor George Heartwell
said that there wasn't, and he's right!
But yet, The Devoses have decided to kiss the
city's ass once again, and it's by creating this
drawn-out (no pun intended) festival where
people display their works. It has been
successful so far, but that's only because the
media hypes it; WOOD-TV 8 even moves their news
set to the hub of the festival downtown.
Last year, one of the most-controversial
artworks was "
Life
Positive", three paintings by E.A. Conner,
a man who is HIV-positive. His paintings of
three symbols of the virus - a scorpion, a red
ribbon and a biohazard sign - were displayed at
Rumors, a LGBT nightclub on Division Street. The
paintings were composed using a wood panel with
acrylics and... Conner's HIV-infected semen.
Grand Rapids: the city where a you can't pay a
naked woman to have her bare privates just
millimeters from your face, but you can eat at
an establishment where you sit next to a
painting made from a guy's jizz. And it's not
just jizz, but it's HIV-infected jizz.
(Paging the health inspector...)
I know, Artprize will be a boon to the
businesses downtown, but I'm not a fan. As long
as the word "Devos" is attached to ArtPrize,
I'll stay out of downtown and keep living my
happy, somewhat peaceful life in nearby
Kentwood. If I had the money, I'd be going to
the Deja Vu in Lansing often since Grand Rapids
girls are all bitches. Instead of dating a nice
guy like me, they'd rather date losers who beat
them up and won't give them a decent life.
Sorry, but if that's the case, I'll pay a girl
$30 to sit on my lap if I had the money, thank
you very much.
The Devos family: forcing Grand Rapids to kiss
their rich Hollander asses since 1959.
