    You Give Us 22 Minutes, We'll Give You Some Terrible Clip Art

    hot to head to a museum? Let blogger David of Ironic Sans take you on a tour of the badly Photoshopped art created for the website of New York radio station 1010 WINS. Here's a sample:

    Man Charged with Having Crack in Sundae

    It's a classic struggle for every artist. How do you illustrate a news story about a man caught smuggling two rocks of crack cocaine in an ice cream dessert? Well, the artist at 1010 WINS found a creative way to solve that problem, using photos of crack cocaine and an ice cream sundae. By superimposing them both on a pile of powdered substance — representing both the popular drug and the sweet sugar used in making delicious desserts — he unifies the images thematically, while the black background represents the health problems implicit in too much of either substance.

    There's plenty more to see over at Ironic Sans, and you don't even have to leave the air-conditioning. Enjoy!
