Mommy, can we go to MOMA?
By raincoasterHave you ever faced the challenge of drumming up childish enthusiasm for a museum or art gallery visit among childrens to whom such enthusiasm cometh not naturally? Verily, it is one of the labours of Sisyphus, and not to be undertaken by the faint of heart or wavering of purpose, particularly because it usually results in a stalemate of wills and ejaculations of the “I told you, just get in the damn car already!” variety.
Worth 1000 feels your pain. To their legions of talented Photoshoppers they have given the challenge of rendering the classic works of visual art in a more kid-friendly manner. Click to see their results; we are particularly fond of the “Leonardo da Simpson,” although the tighty-whiteys render it of dubious suitability for a family blog. Instead, let us look upon the mysterious smile of the Big Mona.

Oh that mysterious open beak! What or who is he thinking about? Could it be the Count??

They also have Big Bird on Mt. Rushmore and Homer as the Mona Lisa (although Homer appears to be a touch surprised that he is the Mona Lisa.) The Jimmy Neutron Rembrandt is really well conceived. “Sesame Gothip” (on the top of page 4) temporarily distracted me from the hard-to-fathom idea that Homer is at the center of all things. Bert and Ernie as you’ve never seen them before!
