Everyone's an artist. Unfortunately. Part II.

One more thing about G'nosh: this is the other piece of text on their webpage, designed to interest you in their "product." And their product is, strangely enough, YOU:

"G'nosh is a casual, inviting atmosphere for individuals and groups to gather, express their creativity and just have fun. [Okay, so it's a social event, NOT an art class. The focus is not art, the focus is "expressing creativity" -- again the assiduous avoidance of the word "art"! -- and having "fun," which they aren't guaranteeing but offering you a space to have it in if you can create it yourself. Like you can't have it somewhere else.]

Non-artistic types need not be intimidated [Because you're not making art!]; the classes are especially for you [For non-artistic types? Artists need not apply -- you'll just make everyone else look bad! Artists don't even WORK here!]. There is no wrong way to create your painting [Then why is everyone doing it the SAME WAY?!] but we do suggest wine for you A-Type personalities [Umm, what?].

Art [Which you won't see or create here!] washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life [Again -- what?]. G'nosh simply enables you to reclaim your inner artist [OH, PLEASE! "Inner artist?" What? So there's no external artist?] through the carefree strokes of a paintbrush...and you are free to follow whatever direction your creative mind takes [As long as it's the direction of "painting" a blue cow].

Thinking creative expression? Think G'nosh! [Thinking about painting the same damn blue cow your neighbor is painting? Think G'nosh! Please note the variety of "expression" among the paintings of the people in the picture: every one of them has painted the exact same blue cow (and painted it badly -- they can't even copy well!), but each has added their own individual touch by putting A DIFFERENT COLOR in the background! Now THAT'S creativity! GO G'NOSH!]"

Comrades, take note: don't support this obvious anti-aesthetic bourgeois capitalist enterprise!
