What's even more facepalm worthy is "foolness" is not a word. The word the creator of this picture was looking for is "foolishness".karamazovnew said:This pretty much says it all:
Up to this point, I felt a certain amount of pity for the old lady.
Right now, I feel she should pay for the proper restauration of monkey jesus.
Asking for a share of donations is a dick move, no matter who or what you are.

OK, I think that's proper and well up Solomon's alley.SenseOfTumour said:
I could easily agree to your proposition. Everything beyond that is lawyer's shenanigans.
I think this is more the work of greedy lawyers convincing this woman to do it so that they get a cut of it because I read that she was planning to donate her share to charity. Doesn't justify inadvertent vandalism but I don't think we should be so quick to insult her.
I want to stab this woman. I wanted to already, of course, but I thought she was already as low as she could go. Now not only is she an idiot, but she's a greedy, capitalistic idiot.
No. You don't get a cut of the royalties of people satirizing you. That's why George Lucas didn't see a dime from Spaceballs, and why Jon Stewart doesn't have to pay politicians a cut of the Daily Show's profits.
She made the painting famous and there's money made of it, so it's fair to demand something for it.
However the painting didn't belong to her so fuck that shit.
OT (Off Topic)
Lot's of people here deeming the little painting as a priceless piece of art...
Makes me wonder how many people actually give a toss about it hadn't it gotten such a spotlight lately.

Ignore the fact that if I were the church, I'd turn this around and get after her for property damage since she ballsed up a priceless piece of ancient art.
She is asking for a cut of the donations the painting brings into the church? What incredible greediness and douchebaggery! You can't ask for a cut of donations, that's not how those are supposed to work, I'm fairly sure donation implies some sort of non-profit incentive like making the place they donated to better.
Plus, people shouldn't be rewarded for stupidity. I hope the church's lawyers tear her a new asshole for such a staggering display of brazen stupidity.

I can see her point of view in this. Not agree with it, not in a million years, but hey.
She takes the painting away, "restores" it, (apologizes, which was why I sort of forgave her) and suddenly BAM, her work is raking in cash. Not hard for her to put two and two together and realize she might make some cash.
I do agree with most of these posts though. She may have returned the painting, but theft is theft, and should not be allowed to make money from this, if only as a lesson. Maybe if the church loans it to her again, to see what she can do with it...
And "Fat Sasquatch" was the funniest thing I read all day.

Perhaps she does have a right to see some of the entry fees. Then you charge her for destroying a priceless piece of art and call it even.
