    MoMA Decries Art

    MoMA, which allegedly stands for "Museum of Modern Art," has fired a guy for wantonly associating the MoMA name with art, of the modern variety.

    MOMA hired an advertising guy named Doug Jaeger to design the museum's subway ads. He, in turn, got ad remix vandalartist of the moment Poster Boy to come in and remix some of the MOMA ads, which caused a big uproar, for reasons we cannot fathom. Now MOMA has "completely severed" its relationship with Jaeger, because he went and let this stupid artist mess up their perfectly good ads.

    'Motherfuckers Opposed to Molesting Advertisements' is more like it, ha. [NYP]
