There's no way that the girl with pink hair will go cold this winter. Her accent gives away her class.

[cobracharmer]

WOW! They attacked that painting 7 times! That's 14 cans of soup. That could've fed a half dozen people.

[margaretpaddock]

If they are students then they need expelling, also they should pay for restoration. If either of them were my children i would be ashamed, Leave them glued to the wall without food or water.

[megacapulet]

I visited this gallery last year and was blown away by this painting so vibrant and alive, to see it defaced sickens me to the core, the vocal ones middle class accent speaks volumes as does her hypocrisy the clothes on her back and the dye in her hair are petrolium based, they could never create a work of art like this in a hundred lifetimes shame on them.

[VanDavis]

The painting is framed, behind glass. Everyone freaking out about "damage" is missing the point.

[christopherjakel]

[Activists] JUST STOP OIL
[Also activists] Uses superglue with petroleum in it.

[marugg]

So instead of donating that can of soup to a hungry family you waste it. Besides the painting was protected by glass and I would leave you glued to the wall until you beg me to release you.

[daisyotis]

no way they came from a poor family .... tin of heniz soup gave it away!!!! who can afford them anymore

[kartikeyajha]

Wow it takes a particularly sick mind to do this to such a fine piece of art

[shanepatrick]

Spoiled children potentially damaging classic artwork for their cause of the month. I imagine a couple years in prison would change their attitudes.

[johnjepsen]

New title: "Sunflowers With Soop."

[zombiekitty]

What the hell does the painting even have to do with what they're protesting? Am i missing something??

[mastiff]

Like swine in mud Evil enjoys wallowing in waste and filth and as such will destroy any and all that is beautiful.

[aimanfirdous]

Shame on them is this the way of protesting, if they are so serious they should have hurtled themselves

[grayfairweatherart]

I hope that the adhesive is made from renewable raw materials and not petroleum-based.

[padhai_krte_rho]

This is ridiculous vandalising act of protest...artists have respect for their art work and govt should always protect their creativity...shun these girls behind bars.

[fernandorierasada]

These kids will do whatever in order to be famous and get some likes…

[geoffmclean]

Warhol : " Should have used Campbell's girls. You're amateurs "

[microw]

oh looks like the special side of twitter decided to go outside today

[nochops]

gonna go top off with some 93 octane in their honor.
