The Missed Connections section on Craigslist has proven a muse to many, and most recently has inspired an artist to illustrate listings. Sophie Blackall says, "Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down." Our favorite may be the one of the pigeon, where the listing was simply, "Are you scared of birds or something? Well, whatever the case, it was cute. Do you live on N7th too? We could hang out."

whatever happened to tangible human contact.
lol grow a pair.
Oh, shut up. The last thing I want to happen is for my favorite spots to become meat-market for losers. Stay in the fucking Missed Connections, every time I was within an earshot of your pathetic attempts at chatting up strangers I wanted to poke my eyes out!
from these illustrations, I can tell that these hipsters not only have bad taste but are quasi-pedos. I did have a missed connection last week though. You should have seen this girl. she had 36dd and didn't wear a bra. Too bad I just had a hot dog from gray's papaya in the west village cause I was kinda feeling confident if it weren't for my sauerkraut breath.
Hot dogs need love, too.
and another dehumanizing depiction of asian people gets to be 'art'.
They are depicted as humans. Human girls. The ad says "Asian girls," and that is what was drawn.
And what are some other examples of asian-dehumanizing art? Breakfast at Tiffany's and anything pre-1950 doesn't count. Go!
They are about as human as Gwen Stefani portrayed her "Harajuku Girls".

ha, do john hughes movies count?
dehumanizing doesn't equal not human. in this case, the asian girls the woman hangs out with (whether or not she herself is asian) are tiny and doll like. sorry if 'do you always hang out in groups of asian girls' implied to me full sized women, or at least 'girls' only in the sense that the desired person was full sized. in the case of john hughes, asian people are caricatures.
this one is a puppet helping white people eat: http://www.angryasianman.com/2009/08/nissins-oriental-master-shows-you-way.html. because 'asian' isn't an ethnicity, it's a type of fairy.
the movie 'the goods' features a 'joke' where an asian man is beaten by his coworkers because the japanese bombed pearl harbor. while he is portrayed as a human person, it'd dehumanizing when a person is beaten without repurcussion to the beaters, not to mention the people beating him clearly consider him a stand in for the nation of japan from 1942 instead of an actual person in 2009.
i mean, i'm sure you don't agree, and you could nitpick these aren't examples of art. but there you go.
No, I agree. And I totally forgot about Sixteen Candles.
An art critic AND a gentlemen. Look out ladies...
