Great news! Awl pal Greg Allen has launched the Find the Warhols Project. You can help fund it, by making a donation now! Your donation will go to spread information about the cache of eleven Warhols stolen from Richard Weisman; the information will be distributed to the richest people in the world, who are, of course, the only people who will ever come in contact with these missing Warhols. Greg proposes to help people understand, for instance, which of these nearly-identical and decidedly over-valued Warhols is which. We should all pitch in to help Richard Weisman, who has been trying to unload these puppies for a while now, listing one of them a few years back for $28 million. Why won't you help him? As Greg points out, "You can see how vitally important these Warhols are, especially to Weisman. They're practically his children. Children he can sell for an eight-figure price."

Is this just an excuse to give a new meaning to FTW?

Oh look! A a fake rich guy's fake painting done of a fake fighter by a fake painter.
It's all just so beautiful.
Um, you did NOT just call Muhammad Ali a fake fighter. I just know you didn't.
Sorry giovanni, I respectfully disagree. Contary to popular opinion, Muhammad Ali was one of the most overrated fighters in history.
The Liston fights? Fixed. Completely fixed. Everybody has admitted to this as fact including both fighter's corners.
Ali should have lost two fights to Frazier instead of one, but Frazier's corner (Eddie Futch) actually cared about their fighter. Ali's corner would continue to send him into the ring until he was completely punch-drunk and ultimately, brain damaged.
Zaire? Hung on to Foreman who was drugged prior to the fight by his own corner.
Henry Cooper knocked Ali down (and almost out) with one punch. Chuck Wepner knocked Ali down with one punch. Joe Frazier knocked Ali down with one punch. Sonny Banks knocked Ali down with one punch.
Ali turned the greatest sport into professional wrestling because he could play to the press. He was always in over his head but he was always able to generate massive amounts of money from the pre-fight hype. That's what kept him in the fight business as long as it did.
I'll check the theme restaurants in Times Square.
oh, gee.
Eight-figure payouts are the artistic expression of our need to be consoled by some kind of order.
