AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the most horrible translation of any language I have ever seen!!!

It means "Here lies the last sip of the consummate bourgeoisie malaise." (C'est spirituel!)

FYI - The words "bourgeoisie" and "malaise" are English words, as they were directly imported from French.

Here's a lesson for all you kids out there - computers can't translate languages with efficacy.

P.S. Please don't attempt any more pathetic translations of my posts!

Does anyone realize that a 5-year-old can draw a better picture? When people are bidding thousands of dollars for something my kid could make, I could be a millionaire.

Ermm, it's eBay, what did you expect? People throw money away on anything on that site. At least the money from this will go towards a good cause. The fact it's Bungie memorabilian will fetch a pretty penny, but I don't think most Bungie fans are willing to pay that much. I think we're dealing with the typical eBayer who has far too much money to waste. (c'mon, over 5 grand? That's most of my savings account.)

Did somebody open the door to the stupid house? You guys know this is for charity, right? And that anyone that is bidding on this at the price it is at is probably fairly well off and is doing this because they have a heart and want to donate to a great cause. You guys that keep commenting on the paintings worth need to get in my lobby right now so I can T-bag some sense into you. Seriously, does anyone read?

As for the french guy who wants to point out the error of the bablefish translation. Please read my message with a little bit more light heartedness and realize that there is humor quite heavily injected into my message. so pu pu, i stick my nose up at you!

Cheers

Do you realize that the people who run Bungie are a bunch of 5-year-old kids?

I mean come on, Halo 3 is awesome as hell.
You think a mature adult can come up with that kinda stuff?

haha.

BIggest waste of money I've ever seen. Artist must be a real nut job to be saying all that bull-blam!- about a painting that a 6 year old could of done with his/her fingers.

What's wrong with you people? It's for charity. It could be spray paint on plywood and it would fetch just as much if not more.

you sir are a complete idiot
for one if you didnt realize the whole interview wasnt serious it was funny
and two this is for charity they are just trying to help people out
honestly most of the people complaining about how bad it is couoldnt do any better
but that doesnt even matter because thats not the point. Even if it looked like a famous artist drew it it would not make anymore money because people arent bidding on it because of the looks they are bidding on it to donate money to charity

bungie(frankie) is using their fame to raise some money for charity you shouldnt be complaining. If a famous actor took a dump on a towel and put it on ebay to sell for charity i bet it would make more than your yearly salary and everyone would be thankful to that famous actor

  • 02.15.2008 5:26 AM PDT

I mean I'm not against charity and I'm not against Bungie, but the amount of money people would spend on a piece of garbage is unbelievable.

Again... charity. Take the dump on a towel analogy. There is some truth to that.

I love you guys and all that you do!

Uh...that painting was complete and utter crap. I like how the artist wrote a long articulate description for each choice of color and fore color. Read his review then read this one. "His painting reflects the lazy American mindset. Do -blam!- work and then google big works for wordy and lengthy critiques. We are the google generation." I do love the cause, but I would have painted something a LOT nicer. Not some 3rd grader piece of crap. The buyer did a good deed for buying it for charity, so give him something in return! CRAP

You Erix, personify American stupidity. Frankie was obviously mocking himself in that "interview". They make fun of themselves constantly in the weekly updates and other articles. You have not noticed this?

  • 02.17.2008 4:07 PM PDT

Hey plywood, If you had the money for a good cause, you'd still want something a little nicer wouldn't you? It's your money coming from your hard work! Yeah, making fun of yourself is common amongst Americans that are lazy. It's a great defense mechanism used to mask stupidity or crap work. Somehow we can get away with anything if we talk or walk the right way. They don't take much of anything seriously do they? "American stupidity?" No sir, I believe you personify it or maybe ignorance. You know nothing about me. Moron.

If I had the extra cash to donate to a good cause I would want nothing in return. You are whining about the quality of Frankie's artwork... why do you care? The money went for a good cause, and the winner is getting something neat in return. Go cry, you know deep down you wanted it. The fact that you don't have $6100 to donate to charity makes you angry. Thats why you insist that whoever is fortunate enough to be able to donate that kind of cash to charity is "stupid".
