Oh my god, they stole the Scream!

Wow. Someone stole the scream. AGAIN. Our banner of existential dread, our darkly comic, campy pop-icon. Makes me feel better for losing my wallet, my meds (and therefore my mind) this weekend.

"Maybe there are some sick people who would have joy hanging one or two of these paintings on the wall," Jurgesen said.
> and then we can kill them and eat their babies, yes?

"Norway is immensely proud of it. Yesterday the nation was groping to make sense of how it could be stolen -- twice.
"People are frightened and scared and they are wondering what this is and how this can go on," Jurgesen said. "The whole police [force] in Oslo are now working with this case."
> what, all 12 of them?

Jurgesen predicted the latest case of the stolen "Scream" will prompt some national soul-searching: "There must be some discussion after this in the municipality, or the police, or the museum or the art society of Norway: How can this happen?"
> Munch's Scream provokes national soul searching... appropriate.

Comments:
Is this Jurgeson guy serious? Maybe some sick person would like this on his wall... Sympathy is for the Swedes.
