Let's just get one thing straight, Ted Barrow is a fucking hack.

One of his schticks just finally stuck.

First he was a model, then a model fucker. Then he was a writer. Then he was an art history major. Then he did guided tours around the city for tourists. Then he made an instagram where he video'd his face saying dumb shit that wasn't actually funny about other people's skateboarding and outfits.

This from a guy that has a history of wearing waxed barn jackets and those disgusting TNT high-tops, and doing the same three tricks over and over on every spot in the city.

Haha this is a sick burn but i'd be a model fucker if i could be
[close]


can we get clarification on this one? is a "model fucker" as in someone who fucked models or a "model fucker" as in the archetype for a "fucker"

P.S.  i dont really watch a lot of his critique videos but i really enjoy what he does with instagram stories.  its a pretty amazing way to use the medium.

from what i remember of ted's blog and some old scans he put on his story today, both
Regular stance is a mental disorder defined by the DSM-5

Social media only brings out the worst in people. It's a totally unnatural way for human beings to communicate. Hopefully one day we'll look back on the facebook/instagram era with great shame and remorse for what we let it do to society.

Straight up agree dude

I agree, but I think things are just going to get worse when it comes to social media.

Who cares we’re all gonna burn to death from global warming in the next 20 years anyway.

Global warming you say? Like the midwest experienced last week? Yeah not falling for that anymore.

nope, at least not in germany and it is very hard to imagine in other european countries could it be different, considering the exponent economic status of germany compared to italy, spain, portugal, etc. (scandinavian countries may be an exception). it depends on your scientific area. there are little to none paid phd positions for art historians, linguists of any sort, literature students, etc. The situation is quite different for physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.

most phd students doing their phd in arts dont get any paid phd position and need to rely on scholarships or relatives. a lot of phd students are even on the dole.

I work in research in science at a EU funded facility here in France. PhD's are paid very very well.
A PhD in art isn't worth the paper it's printed on, same with undergrads.
I should have been clearer. Sorry

finally actually listened to the Ted clip, and wow, I'm disappointed in you Ted. I thought from the comments you might be bagging on Pontus imitating Matisse or Surrealism in general, but "the american" skate scene? For an art historian, that's a pretty piss poor argument, and as a skateboarder it denotes a lack of appreciation of the individuals who make up our shared history and traditions, since you're basically suggesting skate esthetics as the product of industry "graphic designers" and marketing schemes. You didn't even have the balls to name Blender, probably because it'd be too easy to disprove your argument, since Pontus has put Neil's name in lights many times already, which is more than you can say.

alright, "disapointed" is a strong word, but I have to agree with people saying this reeks of sour grapes, personal shit.

Like all of Ted’s posts, it’s a video of him talking. This one is 60 seconds of him criticizing Pontus for fueling some of Polar’s art direction and music selection with his nostalgia and love for skateboarding from his youth.

It’s true but I guess it’s up to the viewer to decide if they even see a problem with that.

Or maybe he's criticizing Pontus for turning his back on the distributor that introduced Polar in the US market, helped put Polar on the map and helped him film a video in New York. Its less about art and more about not fucking over your friends

which would be what everybody is saying, that Ted seems bitter about some other totally unrelated shit that he's unwilling to talk about directly.

I am curious what it is you're actually saying though. Hasn't Polar been on Theories from the get go, and aren't they still with them?

Polar is still with Theories of Atlantis. Still on the site. Polar has a distributor now for California to keep up but Pontus is still working with Josh and co.

Hold on we have to stop this thread acknowledge that there's someone among us whose brain is so incredibly filled with farts that they think global warming can't exist because it's cold somewhere. Fucking moron.
