$5 To Punch An Activist Artist That Looks Like Donald Trump, $300 To Pee On Him Is The Bargain Of The Century
NY Daily News- If you’ve ever wanted to beat up Donald Trump, here’s your chance. A New York street performer dressed as the bombastic billionaire is letting passersby punch, trample and even urinate on him — for a small fee, of course. Activist artist Kalan Sherrard, 28, took to Union Square Thursday dressed in a suit and Trump mask and offered up a full menu of assaults. A chance to punch the Trump-esque artist’s gut will cost you $5. You can “trample” the GOP frontrunner’s doppelganger for $10 and “throttle” him for $7, although the performer’s cardboard sign did not elaborate on how far aggressors could take those two terms.
For a whopping $300, a Trump-hater can pee on the tycoon. And if you just want a picture with the candidate look-a-like? That’ll set you back $2. It’s not clear how many people have taken up Sherrard on his plethora of punishment options — or how much cash he’s collected. Sherrard did not immediately return the Daily News’ call. There’s no word on what the real Donald Trump thinks about the enterprising artist’s business model. Sherrard has been arrested at least twice before for his bizarre performance artworks. He was charged with disorderly conduct in 2014 after he set up a nihilist-anarchist puppet show in the Times Square subway station. The artist created a “hazardous condition” when he displayed an odd collection of mutilated marionettes on a train platform. Later that year, he was arrested in Miami for protesting at Art Basel while carrying a sex toy in his pocket. The artist claimed the mid-exhibit march was a demonstration against the nation’s super-wealthy.
Only $5 to punch some random dude on the street? Sign me up right now. I think anyone in the city would pay that much to crush a stranger after a rough day at work or commuting. Well, except for those homeless guys that say you can punch them in the face for a few bucks. I don’t want to get a tetanus shot after offloading some steam. But being allowed to punch some random dude sounds great. And I don’t even care that he looks like Donald Trump. Say what you want about Trump, but he has been nothing but great to the smut blogging world.
But the real reason this is a bargain is because of Kalan Sherrard’s profession. Activist artist. I would pay at least $25 to punch an activist. Same goes for an artist. Combine the two together, and the price of that punch could go up to $50 and I wouldn’t bat an eyelash. Fuck those two groups of people. And if you are an activist artist that was running puppet shows in the subway with mutilated puppets, I would easily pay $100 to sock you in the stomach. So $300 to piss on this guy is an absolute no-brainer. Talk about underestimating the market, Kalan. You goddamn fool. Out here making political statements against Trump and the “super-wealthy” but doesn’t know the first thing about supply and demand. What a dildo. I may go to Union Square right now and piss all over this guy like R. Kelly while reading “The Wealth Of Nations” just out of respect for Adam Smith.
Trump needs to build a wall to keep assholes like this out of the country. Because I’m pretty sure we can all agree that Cheap Labor Illegal Immigrants >>>>>>> 20-Something Activist Artists.
