Is it weird that I’m more upset about the wasted cake here than the priceless art?
A 36-year-old man in Paris is facing charges for using a piece of cake to vandalize the Mona Lisa on Sunday.
He was disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair, apparently. It sounds like he did that to gain access to a handicapped area right next to the painting.
He either threw the cake, smeared it, or both. Then security removed him from the building. Officials at the Louvre confirmed the attack did involve a pastry.
It ended up being a weird climate change protest.
While they were walking the guy out, he yelled, “Artists tell you to think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.”
Hunh?
