Unfortunately I know Zpoonz, and he is totally capable of making me suffer. The very idea is making me ever so slightly hard.

Exactly. Zpoonz has produced works of genius, and submitted them to you without and protection from you claiming credit. Zpoonz, you are brilliant, but are now effectively Log’s Comedy Slave.

Can’t you just change his name to yours? And then sit there and gloat. We won’t tell.

I can’t do anything after Zpoonz’s entries. They’re perfect. If I even tried to do anything now, it’d be shit in comparison and it’s my blog and I have to be the best. God I hate Zpoonz

Nothing anyone could ever write as satire could ever touch on the pomposity of real art critics. They are beyond parody, and I mean that in a very real sense. Zpoonz’ stuff is great innit.

I really like the narrative sequence of this artist’s work. (Strokes irritating goatee beard contemplatively). He has invited others to contribute to his exhibition, in a sterling attempt to democratise art, and make it this a truly public event. The choice of the medium of the internet is an avant garde statement to this effect. (Either that, or he can’t be bothered to do it himself). His juxtaposition of an idyllic, charming image of a chef playing tennis with an image of office workers being pushed joyfully on wheelie-chairs into a pile of corpses is an ironic commentary on the commodification of both art and humanity in the workplace, and a witty pun on “Arbeit Macht Frei”. His explicit referencing of Hogarth both claims his place in a long history of British satire and is a brilliant commentary on the use of alcohol as an escape mechanism for those trapped in the industrial-capitalist nexus, with all the moral condemnation this draws from the more socially emancipated.

Can anyone come up with anything more pretentious and annoying than that? Perhaps I ought to get a job at the Guardian.

Wow! I like Mr Zpoonz’s best. I would like Mr Zpoonz to drag me around a cell on a lead. Why not.

And they are from Cocke County apparently. That makes them ace - officially.

These pictures truly speak to me - and fill me with inspriation. “Resign your job at the office and become a model,” they scream. “You get paid to jump around like a cunt in front of the camera”.

Could swear I went to school with the gormless gonk in the green t-shirt sitting on the breeze blocks.

But where is the picture of the ashen faced underpaid worker, health decimated by shift work, scrutinising their payslip in befuddlement, wondering how so much effort can result in so little money?
