Just when you thought it was “My”Space, The Man steps in and makes it Not YourSpace. “Danger Darling!” is Synthesis’ Artist of the Day, not out of pity from having her work censored on MySpace, but celebration of her newfound controversy. Hey, it’s good thing:

What could she have possibly painted that would have her work yanked from her MySpace page?

…an unfinished painting of meat. One of my most favorite things ever! Here’s what she has to say about being censored:
Where’s the beef?
Sooo…myspace totally just deleted a picture of my newest painting, because they said it was “violent” EVEN THOUGH a gabillion fucking people eat meat every day. They ALSO hunt. ALSO my freaking art album is FRIENDS ONLY, so no 14 year old is going to see it anyway. Meanwhile, said 14-year-old is probably busy beating up hookers on Grand Theft Auto. Yet, my ART is offensive. Riggght. They ALSO changed my myspace default from the painting I did after Klimt, because the woman’s breasts are showing.COME. ON.
But this is good, because I am starting a series of paintings on meat, simply because of this- meat IS very controversial. Mad Cow disease, Animal rights, Antibiotics, etc ad nauseam. Most of us eat meat every day, but when confronted with it, it leaves us feeling cold, and disgusted.
And by the way myspace gestapo, you should be aware that if more children studied art, or put their time into developing actual skills instead of surfing porn on the net, or sitting their asses in front of video games, they might learn something.
God forbid ART offend them. Maybe they’d start THINKING FOR THEMSELVES.
PUT DOWN GUITAR HERO AND LEARN SOMETHING.
Tell it like it is, girl. Here’s her in action:

If it were me, I would just have Rocky beat the ever loving shit out of the meat and then caption it “You’re next motherfuckers”.
Ok…so…i dont understand how a piece of meat can be offensive to anyone…ummm i dont know about anyone else but i dont feel threatened by meat…and it sure as hell dont turn me on sooo ummm yeah….maybe Tom is a vegetarian??? but yet im sure he probly beats his meat?! whats the big deal??? on top of all that what about the comments people leave each other on myspace that have a womans booty all up in the air sayin happy hump day?? ok thats more offensive to me then a great meaty piece of ART!!
Love the meat painting.
Love the bee action video.
Love the artist.
Idiots..
But they allow a “REDNECK” version of birthcontrol comment pic containing a girl’s ducktaped hoohaa b/c that isn’t offensive?? God forbid meat or breast be present. I could go on forever, but I will spare you all;)It is obvious they cannot appreciate REAL ART!
I love the bee action video too, I watched it a katrillion(that is a lot by the way!!) times..AMAZING.
I left this great reply and it didn’t post!!UGGHHH
It will not be the same, but here I go..
you know they delete your photo, but will let comments of “redneck birthcontrol” be posted consisting of a pic of a ladies hoohaa ducktaped..but that is not offensive right?? But meat and breast are cause for deletion. I swear I could go on forever, but I will spare everyone my babble.
I love the bee video too, I watched it a katrillion times in amazement. You are great girl!

I will NEVER understand why this painting was censored. Obviously, Tom & Co. have zero understanding of liberal arts. The time they spent pondering the censorship of that painting would’ve been better spent enlightening themselves and broadening their perspectives.
VERY talented artist…great work.
Love watching her in action on the bee video!
I hope Carmen becomes famous and comes back to haunt Tom & Co. I have this vision of her testifying before Congress about internet censorship in a couple of years. Fitting. Karma’s a bitch.
