#MonaLisa wiped clean after protester smears cake onto protective screen

Cake? Well, it makes a change from acid, and tastes better too.

Calm down BS. That's not a real woman & it would taste like paint!

I get the woman who protested the atrocities in the Ukraine by hopping onto a red carpet naked with slogans painted on her. That one made sense and seemed brave and like she was taking a real stand.

This Mona Lisa weirdo dressed like an old woman to hop out of a wheel chair and smear cake on protective glass before throwing roses everywhere and getting arrested to protest climate change? Huh? What did the Mona Lisa ever do to the climate?

I believe Mona is innocent regarding the climate. Perhaps it was a piece of conceptual art.

They got attention alright. It's what happens next....nothing!

Nowadays, the world seems to consist of horrors, such as pandemics and wars, and behaviour which is at best eccentric but perhaps is clinically insane.

The world has always had disease, famine, and people doing things that can only only be described as 'evil'. What the world has only very recently gotten has been the ability to see all of that happening in real time via social media and network news channels. If you want to read about some real atrocities study the Roman empire. Those dudes didn't mess around.

A little bit of Windex maybe? Lamest protest ever.

But it made headlines. Mission accomplished ��

No such thing as bad publicity ;-)

To paraphrase Gil Scott -Heron: The end of the world WILL be televised ... on the internet.

Yes, the Romans did have some imaginative tortures and methods of execution.

The National Museum of Scotland says it will return a memorial totem pole taken nearly a century ago from the Nisga'a Nation.��
��
The museum says its board of trustees approved the First Nation's request to transfer the Ni'isjoohl memorial pole to its territory in northwest B.C.��
��
A delegation of Nisga'a leaders travelled to Edinburgh last August to request the transfer of the 11-metre pole.��
��
Nisga'a Nation Chief Earl Stephens said in a statement their people believe the pole, which was hand-carved in the mid-1800s, is alive with the spirit of an ancestor and is now coming home to rest.��
��
The Ni'isjoohl memorial pole is "a living constitutional and visual archive," said Noxs Ts'aawit (Amy Parent), a Canada research chair in Indigenous education and governance at Simon Fraser University and part of the delegation that visited Scotland earlier this year.��
��
"So to have it removed is like having someone rip out a chapter of Canada's constitution and your most treasured family photo album and place it in a museum in another country to be viewed by foreigners on a daily basis," she said.��
��
The First Nation says colonial ethnographer Marius Barbeau stole the pole in 1929 and later sold it to the National Museum of Scotland.��
