Above: "Isabel Herself", or so says The Onion.

The Onion goes for the low-hanging fruit of coffee shop art. Hilarity ensues:

Isabel By Herself, which sells for $150 and is currently hanging next to an untitled black-and-white photograph of an old Guatemalan man, has reportedly been called “a piece of shit” by no fewer than 40 customers since it was first placed on the wall in December, and has on dozens of occasions been mocked as “the most clichéd thing ever” and for appearing as though “a retarded eighth-grader made it.”

The painting also stated that at least once a week, a patron points at it, laughs, and loudly exclaims to a friend, “A hundred fifty dollars? What, are they fucking nuts?”
