As everything in existence becomes more obscure with the rise of the Post-Irony era, it seems a fitting time to call into question even the most basic of our human identities.

Thus, we take this time to question the role and place of millions of women everywhere, a role so basic yet so complex, a lady that each and every Museum-goer originally came from… why it’s MOMS!

But what constitutes motherhood today?  What really makes a MOM??

And so we ask about the following examples, “Is this a MOM?”

Is this a Mom?  Is the Lord Almighty GaGa a baby-maker? (aka Is GaGa a MaMa?)

If so, is this baby Immaculate Conception 2.0?  Or is this just a product of a ‘bad romance’?

Does the fact that she’s carrying a baby mean she’s a MOM?  Is it hers?  Is it mine?  Is it all of ours, as a collective group of “little monsters”?  Is this a Mom?

Is this a Mom?  Or is this just a woman merely using her body’s reproductive system for the sake of celebrity pop culture status?  Is there some sort of Quantity over Quality rule when it comes to motherhood?  Is this a Mom, or just an OctoMom?

Is this a Mom?  Or is this just a ploy to use one’s goodie-two-shoes clean cut tabloid-safe daughter for the sake of promoting a political agenda?  Where might Hillary rank “bein’ a momma” if she had to make a list of roles she has played?

Is Chelsea really a daughter or a mere political product?  Is HillBot still a meme in post-2008 culture?

Is this a Mom? Or is this just an advertisement for the National Transcendentalist Movement?  Is this good parenting?  Or is this a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen (for either the baby or the laptop)?

Is Motherhood in the 2000’s merely a balancing act?  Are portable handheld phones back in fashion or a statement of 90’s-era-ensued irony?

Is this a Mom?  Does Human + Baby = Mom?  Is a Mom a person or a mere social construct?  Will this baby remember Superbowl XIV as the most epic night of his/her life?  Is this baby safe around all this falling confetti….?  This seems like a choking hazard to me… Should Mothers Against Drunk Driving refocus their effort on an anti-choking-on-confetti campaign?

Is this a Mom?  Or is it a MILF?  Is she both / can she be both?  Does being a “hockey MILF” mean that she drops her kids off to hockey practice everyday, or is her hubby a hockey player, or is she a hockey player, or does one have to be a hockey player to tap that?

Is this Porn, or just another glitter-ridden GIF image?

Is this a Mom?  Or is this just a lady who has become an advertisement for the encouragement of increased amounts of Moms?  Is her social conservative stance on pro-life really about saving the babies?  Or is this just for the sake of increasing the global Mom population?  Are Moms a dying breed that need saving?

Is this a Mom?

Are these Moms?

Is this a Mom?

Is this a Mom?  But seriously, is it?

Is this a Mom?

This is all one family, this is all one family.

A wild Snooki appears.

There are two things cultured peoples of today love a lot: FOOD and MUSIC.

Cuz FOOD is delicious, COOKING is fun.  And MUSIC sounds awesome, MUSICAL PERFORMANCE is cool.

Talking about your favorite restaurants makes you sound sophisticated, discussing your favorite new band that only ten other people have ever heard of makes you sound trendy.

Cooking your friends a nice dinner makes you seem talented, DJ-ing a set at a cool party makes you seem badass.

These two staples of culture are simply fabulous…

So why not combine the two?

Introducing… DJ CHEF.

“The only entertainer who simulatenously cooks and deejays for special events, tradeshows and private affairs around the world.”

This dude will rock your party like no other, playing your favorite Chris Brown song while preparing your favorite bean and cheese quesadilla.

How does he do it??  How can he do both at once??

Nothing sounds sexier than a man who can COOK and DEEJAY at the same time… Ladies be warned, he could be at your next bachelorette party.  As the flier above says, he “comes to your home and pumps”.

Spices on one side, vinyls on the other.  He’ll turn your cramped and corny kitchen into a wild ruckus of endurable treats, mediocre entrees, killer Top 40 jams and a hoppin’ party atmosphere.  Just check out the disco lights to the left!

“This is by far the coolest bachelorette party idea EVER” - Victoria, bride

Get ready for the best time of your life.  FOOD + MUSIC = hellllll yeah good timez!

(I can’t do this anymore… I’m losing my grip on reality… get me out of this twisted nightmare of culture-killing and boganism)

Today begins a new day, a new chapter, a new time for hope.

The storm is passing over, the sun shines its warmth on us again.

The dark days of despair were cold and tiresome, but no longer, no longer.

Let the birds sing, let the children laugh!  Unbolt your shutters, open your windows, let each and every one of us cry out together, Hallelujah!

Freedom has always been on the horizon, liberty has always been on our fingertips, love has always remained right across the border… but today, they all arrive.

“Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, we are free at last”.

The day the Museum opens a Sculpture Garden in the back, this will be placed at the grand entrance.

This is on target to become the next crucifix.  Can’t wait to walk into the living rooms of religious Lord GaGa followers everywhere and find this on the coffee table.

The Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum presents a new exhibit:

The Sounds of Postmodernism

…a pseudo-analytical exploration of the sounds and styles of auditory ability that have transformed this current era.  Furthermore, history could quite possibly prove this collection of sound clips to be ultimately paving the path to society’s tomorrow.

The sounds featured in this specific sound clip are progressive, dynamic and hollow.  The production feels intrinsically European electro-trash, the style channels infinity and ever-expansiveness.  The grand reverberation and echo effects seem to call upon the ideas of vastness, space, and outer space itself.  The mood is somewhat dark, numb, nearly robotic in its expression of color, oh such descriptive color, as the Muse proclaims in great fervor, “Blue are the feelings that live inside me.”

The above video is merely an advertisement.

The above video is merely suggesting that you buy Ke-dollar-sign-ha merch.

The above video is merely implying that Ke-dollar-sign-ha will “maybe make out with you” if you purchase this rad t-shirt.

The above video is merely the product of worthless fame, eternal shame, and above all, mainstream at its lowest and least tolerable form.

The above video is merely reason enough to get out of America before its too late.

The above video is merely Ke$ha.

Let your voice be heard, no matter what the cause!  More like no matter if a cause.

This seems like an accurate depiction of the future of petitioning for petitioning’s sake.  Cue in the “Welcome to Post-Irony” catch phrase.
