There Is No Way This Painting Is Worth $120 Million

Edvard Munch's "The Scream" - easily one of the most well-known paintings in history - set a world record Wednesday when it sold for $119.9 million at auction in New York. We all know the painting - and while we're sure it's great... who in their right mind would pay that for any painting?

Maybe we don't appreciate real art... but this is easily one of the most absurd purchases we have ever seen. The previous record for most expensive painting was $106.5 million for Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust" which, if we're honest here, looks like nothing more than a bunch of random shapes thrown together.

On second though, we definitely don't appreciate real art.

Who Are We?

Error: Operator is a blog. Like so many others these days, we post stuff that we like.

We don't pretend to create everything on this site - far from it. In fact, we wish we created everything on this site, but we aren't that clever, and don't have that much time. We don't intend to copyright anyone's work - if we post something on this site, we enjoyed it, and we hope you might too. We'll always try to post credit to the original source, but this is the internet. Seriously, who came up with this? Anyone?

If the handful of views we are pulling is rubbing you and your blog the wrong way, that's fine. Get in contact with us and we will gladly give you the three cents you might have earned with Google Ads if you had those views instead. Or we'll take the post down - whichever you like.

Sometimes, we will post a lot. Other times, not so much. Life is like that. Sometimes, we post well-thought out, detailed posts we would be proud to show our mothers. Other times, we find a video of a dog pooping on a baby and cannot stop laughing until we show someone.

If you don't like what we do, then you're in control - go check out someone else's page. If you think you can do better (you probably can), then nothing's stopping you. And, on the off chance you like something you see, we love hearing about that too.
