In Celebration of the List: Letters to 2012 (in the style of Marcel Duchamp)
PEOPLE WE REFUSE TO BE AT PARTIES WITH
1. All those with bourgeois faces (esp. Ted Baillieu)
2. Paul David Hewson (aka Bono) **Not coming if Paul's gonna be there**
3. Hamish and/or Andy
4. Any members of Coldplay (esp. Chris Martin) - Coldplay is the sort of music you can listen to when your parents are home and your mum would love to take you to their concert. And as for you, Chris, even if she was pretty awesome wouldn't there be a point where you'd put your hand up and go "But wait, it's Gwyneth Paltrow"?
5. Elle McPherson - the cameras have snapped her soul away. We cannot be anywhere near her.
6. Bob Brown - some people have been horrified when we say we have never liked Bob Brown. He has been a bad face for the Greens.
7. Anyone who has ever worked for or voluntarily listened to Austereo.
8. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - it would be catastrophic if we were in a social environment with these two because our strong ethical beliefs would drive us to tell them the truth: that they are perpetuating a dangerous mix of feudalism and celebrity.
9. "Spooky" Hugh Jackman **For those who dare to click**
10. Arnold Schwartzenegger
11. Lance Armstrong - Badcore

Francis Bacon: Go Home!
As you guys know, The Art Gallery of New South Wales is playing host to works by one Francis Bacon.
We've been reading about him and we don't like him. We are particularly offended to hear he was 'fascinated with Marcel Duchamp' - one of the Founding Fathers of Surrealism - to the point of muscling in on Marc's schtick (otherwise known as theft). In our direct line session last night, we asked Marc if our feelings on Bacon aligned with Surrealist thought out there in the great nothingness. He used the term 'Sacred Monster' and likened Bacon to, as he said 'Your AJ Miller.' We said 'Who?' Marc took control of the keyboards and directed our computer to this site.
Look at these deadshits
Marc said 'If that's Jesus back on Earth, then how disappointing is He?'

Marcel Duchamp Said.......
The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.'
Andre Breton Said.......
This is very difficult. Don't be at home for anyone, and occasionally, when no one has forced his way in, interrupting you in the midst of your Surrealist activity, and you, crossing your arms, say: "It doesn't matter, there are doubtless better things to do or not do. Interest in life is indefensible Simplicity, what is going on inside me, is still tiresome to me!" or an other revolting banality.

The Surrealists Prayer
Our Founding Fathers
Whose arts in Heaven
Hallowed be thy names
Thy automatic writings come
Thine will be done
In Australia as it was in Parisian cafes
Give us this day our daily surrealist activity
And forgive us our bourgeoise tendencies
As we forgive those who bore us at dinner parties
And lead us not into minimax
And deliver us from earnestness
For thine is the truth
The Marcel and the Andre
Forever and ever
Amanray

Mission Beach
This blog is dedicated to the Founding Fathers of Surrealism.
It is our mission to comment on events in popular culture.
We are against the notion of 'celebrity' - we believe it to be an unsavoury phenomenon that is threatening to destroy the civilised and 'uncivilised' worlds. Celebrity has infected all walks of life and is playing havoc with the minds of the young and the restless. We will be tracking the media and highlighting the transgressions of those who have lost themselves in a wash of self aggrandisement though the misuse of infamy. We will celebrate those who handle notoriety with grace.
We are already known on a particular forum as muckrakers however we feel that the commercial interests of the unsaid forum impeded our work as we were banned several times because our work was incomprehensible to them.
