Stephen Murmur, a teacher in Virginia was recently suspended from teaching due to his art. Murmer creates paintings by saturating his butt and private particles in paint and then seating himself on the canvas to express his view of the floral world. His most popular print, “Tulip Butts,” sells for $600. Leaving aside the obviousness of making one’s penis into a painted stamen, I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. So the guy sits in paint in his off hours. Can we blame him? With teachers salaries what they are, the nice people often need to find creative methods to supplement their teeny tiny…incomes.
Despite his reputation as a good teacher, the Chesterton County School District has put him on unpaid administrative leave pending an investigation.
“In the school system, personnel regulations state that teachers are expected to set an example for students through their personal conduct," explained Debra Marlow, spokesperson for the District.
Personally, I think Marlow is missing the point. This teacher/artist is setting a fabulous example for our kids! It is precisely this type of resourcefulness and can-do-anything-and-call-it-art-self-expression that our country is built upon. THIS MAN MAKES MONEY WITH HIS ASS, PEOPLE! And he doesn’t have to bend over and call you “Daddy” in order to do it. I say kudos to him. As long as he remembers to use minty-fresh “Sphincterine” after each job, we can assume he made the right artistic choice.
Let's face it. This country needs more ass-painters.
