What single work of creation would you remove from the world?

[Tim Hall]

Has anybody mentioned wasps yet?

Good call.....

While the wasp has few, if any, redeeming features, it's not a piece of art and presumably beyond the scope of this thread.

It is a work of creation as per the title though....

The painting Whistler's Mother. It bugs me that her legs are ridiculously out of proportion.

That's the beauty of painting. You can make whatever shape you want. Who'd have thunk it.

The Gladstone Brookes PPI advert.

Keen students of the OP will note the question in, um, question is:
"What cultural artefact would you remove from the world?"

Can nit-pickers be removed?

The Bible, Koran and other religious works of fiction.

Ah we could kill two birds with one stone.....Vaughan Williams for @DP and wasps for @pplpilot

Just to be clear, it was one of RVWs works - not the man himself.

Waspy feckers though - fill ya boots!

The Bible, Koran and other religious works of fiction.

That's going to wipe out a good slice of culture from the last a couple of thousand years. Any suggestions for plugging the massive hole?

Bertie Blunt's parrot would go some way.

That depends on your philosophical standpoint......

Anybody wondering where we would be had the bicycle never been invented? Not having this discussion I suppose.

The Lark ableedinscending (and mid 20th century English pastoralism more generally). Inward looking, dreariness - it's as if VW listenened to Elgar and learned all the wrong lessons. None of that fancy dan plinky plonky European stuff for us (VW was scandalized by Ravel on a personal level)!

The weaponized vanguard arts wing of what has now sporulated as the Brexit movement. I just pulled the first YouTube vid I could find and take a look at the imagery..

If you see it in the flesh at the Musee d'Orsay its a stunner and rightly famous.
