Just a sec, let me get my tiny violin…


Okay, all set. An artist has set up a perfect commentary around Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star.

The miniature wall is quite detailed, as this Instagram user wrote: “Someone had built a 6″ tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with ‘Keep out’ signs and topped with razor wire.”

Fusion has the story. I have no doubt that the commentary will have lots of commentary tomorrow, when all the cons start decrying this horrific act of vandalism. I have my teeny, tiny violin all ready.

    Likewise Marcus Ranum #1. Artists speak truth to power, and giggle while doing it.

    This is excellent. I love the little graffiti on the outside of the wall, too. So perfect! In all the ways.

    Marcus @ 6:

    I had no idea Trump had a star on the “walk of fame”

    Neither did I, and I was confused as why he had one. Apparently, that’s the ‘billionaire’ spot. And it speaks to Americanism so much.

    Isn’t that a little TV symbol on his star? I don’t know what’s surprises me more. Giving him a star for being a rich ass-hole, or giving him a star for being a reality-TV ass-hole.

    I like the concept.

    I think the price for the star is about $5,000, plus appearing in movies and/or TV. Chump change for The Donald, if you believe him….

    It’s very well done, but possibly counterproductive. As Trump would no doubt say, all publicity is good publicity.

    I believe stars can be bought; it’s a publicity thing

    We should take up a collection and buy one for someone that’ll really freak them out.

    Street theater! Just like we used to do in the 60’s. This renews my faith in America.
    Marcus Ranum @ 12 -- I vote for Saul Alinsky.

    Nice work. I admit I was skeptical of all the bluster about making the Mexicans pay for it, but I think they’ll be willing to chip in for this one.
