Entry: The Ugliest Yacht in the World Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_ugliest_yacht_in_the_world#33099 Post contents: Since when is Mr Russian Billionaire interesten in the estetic opinions of the article writer, or anyone else for that matter? The boat is ugly, yes, but it has presence. Phillippe Starck has long been known for letting the form come before practicality, ie chairs that you can't sit on, knifes you can't cut with, etc. Now, in what way is Andrey Melnichenko’s lack of good taste in any way inconsistent with what we have around us in our everyday lifes? Most buildings, cars, furniture etc are tasteless, ugly or both. Our present culture is tasteless and ugly in its entirety, so what's new? I can see before me a party on that boat, with Axl Rose, Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Manson and a bunch of hihoppers with their underwear showing. The 50" tv sceens on the boat alternately showing Saw III and Bukkake Fest IV, for background ambient. And all the staff of established and unestablished media that got invitations attending. Who can resist free drinks, free drugs and free chicks? Even on an ugly boat owned by a tasteless billionaire. Wake up and smell the coffee guys. This is the "normal" now. Sent at: 2008 12 02
