How the Mona Lisa became so overrated

Why is Mona Lisa so famous? Is it really that better a painting? or is there something more?

Well basically, it's a combination of marketing and mystery.

Or is it overrated?

When I went to the Louvre last year, I stopped by the room where the Mona Lisa is hanging. What were people doing? Were they agape in awe at this masterwork? Were they contemplating the brilliance with which this painting was constructed? Nope. They were taking selfies with the goddamn thing. I don't think I saw a single person actually look at the painting for more than 5 seconds. Push your way to the front of the crowd, turn your back on the very thing you went all the way to Paris to see, then take a picture of you . . . with a picture.

Well played, cunts.
