Okay I work at FedEx and 1) the conveyor belts go 60 mph 2) fragile stickers mean literally nothing 3) I’ve literally seen a driver dropkick a package onto the truck so make sure you bubble wrap the fuck out of your shit.
Some internet scholars argue this was one of many tipping points that contributed to the absurdist wave of post-ironic nihilism that has developed ever since within the memeing community.
Kapoor or one of his agents has, it’s worth noting, violated the terms of service put forth on Semple’s website, and Semple isn’t happy. He expressed his deep concern over the situation in an email to artnet News:
We are all extremely disappointed to see that Anish Kapoor has illegally acquired the world’s pinkest pink. He’s walked into this paint war with a gesture that cannot be misconstrued. He’s given the art community a bright pink middle finger. He is still very much at large. Not only has he refused to share the black, he’s now stolen our pink. Rest assured, we will get to the bottom of who has purchased this on Anish Kapoor’s behalf and broken their contractual agreement with culturehustle.com, and we will instruct our lawyers to take appropriate action against such breaches. We are pleased to note that he has not managed to get his hands on the World’s Glitteriest Glitter—yet—and we urge purchasers not to share the product with Kapoor or his associates.
