how come ppl want to destory the mona lisa..?

Question

The Louvre, the biggest art museum in the world, has thousands of paintings, but most of the millions of visitors a year make a bee-line for the Mona Lisa, known in France as La Joconde.

The 500-year-old painting was stolen in 1911 from the Louvre but was returned two years later after an Italian was arrested for its theft.

It was doused with acid by a vandal in 1956 and later the same year a Bolivian damaged it again by throwing a rock at it.

There are those who are "off" that see cultural icons (such as the Mona Lisa) as gravitational. If they do something to it, identify it as being "different" or "dangerous" and act on such impulses, they will get some sort of undefinable gratification from either other people or some delusional entity.

I personally think that the mona lisa is a creepy picture of a woman with no eyebrows. No offense to anyone out there who have no eyebrows. If I were someone who was trying to destroy it, it would be because of the creepy smile that the lady has on her face. And i would do it to to make the news. but i wouldnt do it.

maybe the Russian woman just wanted to have a real look at it, meaning she didn't want to destroy the painting, just the glass in front of it. I understand the feeling of frustration if you wait in line for a long time to see something you admire, and then (understandably) there's the glass boundary. it sucks.

Jealousy. A nobody wanting to be a somebody . . . if only for fifteen minutes.
