## Ronald McDonald + Something Violent and Crazy (Like Money) = SHOCK

This sketch from *Portlandia*, which has already proven it’s very good at [making fun of art](http://hyperallergic.com/65445/hilarious-portlandia-episode-shows-the-dangers-of-conceptual-art/), is a pretty enjoyable take on the pretentiousness of anti-corporate art. The best jab, at the end, points to the fact that anti-corporate art is really as corporate friendly as any other type of art. There’s a market for everything, even something that’s hoping to be anti-market.
