- Vincent Van Gogh
"The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit."
- Banksy
Jacques Rogge is full of crap.
Jacques Rogge, the esteemed president of the International Olympic Committee, is full of it. When I refer to “it” I of course mean crap, not to mention arrogance, snobbery, hypocrisy and chauvinism.
The man could not come off as a bigger stiff if he were dead. He sits in his ivory tower, looking down on the world through Eurocentric glasses as he criticizes the athletes who make the IOC and himself millions of dollars.
