“corporations don’t …
“corporations don’t deserve free speech, people deserve free speech”- is about the best quote I’ve ever heard.
This is the first time i’ve ever seen or heard of Ron English and I am absolutely amazed.
I like it. But …
I like it. But does he have anything positive to say?
God job boy’s I …
God job boy’s I love your work: Ron English, Pedro Carvajal and Kevin Chapados.
I remember seeing …
I remember seeing this on Free Speech TV a good while back. He does make some very interesting comparisons with his work, but at the same time I wonder. If corporations are all only existing for the sake of a profit, what would the world be like without corporations to manufacture everything we eat, drink, wear, watch, read, paint with, and other things?

hahahhahahha! i love his humor!!! he’s very clever… i know most artists hate being labeled/categorized, but he seems more dadaist than pop surrealist to me, or perhaps both… he’s full of contradictions! lol!

hahahhaha! this guy’s more dadaist than pop surrealist or perhaps both… he’s very clever!!! i love his humor… : )

I love Ron’s work and think he’s very brave etc… but the one thing that bothers me about this video is why is he feeding his kids mcdonalds at the end of the video?

He is sort of a guerilla pop artist. like it!
Not to mention, he …
Not to mention, he can’t say whatever he wants even if he DOES rent the billboard. They’ll deny him the privilege of putting his art on the billboard if it’s controversial. By stealing the space he can say whatever he feels needs to be said.

Barney VS Godzilla.
GENIUS.
You don’t get the …
You don’t get the point. The average person can’t possibly compete with the corporations for ad space. Corporations may be made up of “people,” but only the elite in those corporations are in control. And their only motive is PROFIT. Not the good of the people, profit. That’s the point. You may disagree and think that he should purchase the billboard space, but you can’t pretend like corporations promote the interests of people just because they are made up of people.
He has some good …
He has some good points, but on some points, he’s full of shit.
“Corporations don’t deserve free speech, people deserve free speech”. I’m all for freedom of speech and expression. You know what makes up those “corporations”? People. If he really gives a about his ‘art’, he can raise some money and actually buy billboard space.
freedom of speech …
freedom of speech is the truth

i couldnt agree more, by far one of my top 3 favourite artists!
