Gary Fong's lame. You'd have to be some kinda mega-fool to shuffle money his way for the bogus stuff he's delivering.

There's a sucker born every minute and some suckers just happen to be multi-millionaires. It just ain't fair!

I would gladly trade positions with Gary Fong. You might think he is lame, but he's got it going for himself. Whether his gift is photography or marketing, he's made himself a fortune.

You're mixing apples and oranges...

Are we talking about lame photography or money?

I have a tough question for you...

If you hade the choice of being an extremely lame but rich artist (Gary Fong) or being an artistic genius (like Van Gough) that dies penniless, who would you rather be?

edited to say, we must exclude his tupperware invention from the financial equation...

I'd rather be happy... Van Gogh never 'felt' successful I don't think. It's not about the money.

Fong all the way. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists, but I'd rather be rich and lame now than famous after my death. Having my photos in museums centuries from now doesn't buy me toys. :-)

Admire as much as you can. Most people don't admire enough. - Van Gogh.

Is Gary Fong happy?

Does a tree shit in the woods?

Hey Van Gough/misery might make GF and easy choice but in a brighter sense would you still go Fong?
