And thus, the Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum is considering launching a new mini-exhibit on the great state of Virginia, specifically addressing the political sentiments that run hilariously/horrifically rampant across nearly all portions of the state outside the Washington DC Metro Area.
So as we continue to expand our collection of Virginia-based artifacts, enjoy the above automobile whose message of stamping out ignorance by watching Fox News couldn’t get much better if it tried.
* But what if this is actually a liberal who is trying to make a post-ironic point??
What if the intent of this message and the bumper stickers is all a joke demonstrating how ridiculous Fox News / Jesus fish / Support Our Troops stickers / Glenn Beck really is??
How are we as a society supposed to be able to distinguish what is real and what is just performance art??
….Oh wait, is that a mobile home or horse truck to the left? Never mind, it’s probably real. Carry on.
Just to be clear, we know there’s been a lot of confusion of late, but despite what you may have heard Glenn Beck is not actually Martin Luther King Jr. Who knew?
But honestly, are they really that different? I mean, they both rallied the American people, stood for something that at the time seemed pretty ridiculous, and they will both have addressed this great nation from the National Mall on August 28th after this Saturday’s Glenn Beck rally. Sounds similar enough to me, right?
Oh.
Love you Internet Ads that appear on the bottom of websites I visit.
Love you Glenn Beck.
Love you internet advertising that is designed specifically to attract my personal interests.

Coming soon: The Sarah Palin-approved pocket watch. Because you need to trust in your time like Sarah does.
FYI, in anticipation of one of the most farcical important historical events of our time, the Glenn Beck Rally in Washington D.C. this Saturday, August 28th, look for an increasingly expanding Doctor Beck collection here at the Museum.
Art of Mod presents a new self-created meme made out of our new favorite Facebook sweetheart, Sierra Lynn, whose views on everything are brilliant and totally Fox Newsy chic.
See the previous day’s post on her views of ‘poisoning the institute of marriage’ for more good times.
P.S. Sierra, if you’re out there, the Museum would love to score some Q and A time with you. Let us know if you’re down to chat. Love, the Curators.
(In anticipation of yesterday’s Congressional vote on healthcare):
“They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God.

Beck’s reply: ”This is an affront to God.” And don’t you all forget it.
WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM
Artifacts of Modernity is a internet based "museum" specializing in the preservation of contemporary artifacts deemed worthy of entrance into Western Civilization’s ever evolving canon.
One part virtual time capsule, one part white walls echoing with the sweet siren song of irony, Artifacts of Modernity is the first museum of its kind. Entrance is free, permanent exhibits down the hall and to the right, bathrooms on your left.
Enjoy.

"I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance." - R. Blades
We work hard to bring you an entirely free Museum (or as an innate fee in your internet bill, if you want to think about it like that), but we can't keep it up without money to pay for this URL every year and to buy ourselves lunch while on the job. So please, donate.
This is a Tumblr, so "follow" us if you would. And scroll down for a complete list of many other fine social networking sites by which we whore ourselves.
Yes, you! No longer feel like a mere puppet in the postmodern-post-Irony-ridden culture of today. Contribute your thoughts and findings of modern culture to Art of Mod!
