We all knew it was bad art, but now the FBI’s involved…
At least purportedly. Thomas Kinkade, hated by art history teachers, artists, and general good taste is supposedly under investigation by the FBI. I don’t have much love for people who produce junk then say “praise Jesus,” and expect us not to call it junk.

Full disclosure: My wife, mother, and aunt are all artists… and they all think he produces crap… I just happen to concur. My wife’s christian, my mother and aunt are lapsed catholics (agnostics at best.) My mother-in-law loves his stuff; she, however, is a little to the right of Pat Robertson… on a good day.
