Well, a few moments ago I was typing into the search bar with an SEO related query "Can you have too many blogspot blogs?" and all I know, I ended up on some blog page that provided a shitload of parodies for the famous painting "American Gothic." Why the search results page lead me to it, doesn't matter I suppose, and I thought I'd post a few of the humorous images and link to it from my own blog, instead of pondering over why search results can be so fucked-up at times; ha-ha!
First, a little info... The first paragraph from Wikipedia states:
"American Gothic is a painting by Grant Wood, in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. It is one of the most familiar images in 20th century American art, and one of the most parodied artworks within American popular culture. Wood's inspiration came from a cottage designed in the Gothic Revival style with a distinctive upper window and a decision to paint the house along with "the kind of people I fancied should live in that house." The painting shows a farmer standing beside his spinster daughter. The figures were modeled by the artist's dentist and sister. The woman is dressed in a colonial print apron mimicking 19th century Americana and the couple are in the traditional roles of men and women, the man's pitchfork symbolizing hard labor, and the flowers over the woman's right shoulder suggesting domesticity."
