Tammy Faye Pillowcases to Hang at Louvre Amid Controversy

[LOBO]
From the moment the Louvre announced it’s intent to display all sixteen pieces of “Rhapsody in Linen” this June, protesters lined up in the streets of Paris.
“This is disgraceful,” marked one picketer. “The idea these pillowcases should hang next to great works such as the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa is simply outrageous!”

Director Henri Loyrette concedes that that display is unlike any other displayed in the Museum’s illustrious history, but defends his decision.

When asked to comment, the InterContinental Hotel Group [IHG], owner of the Holiday Inn franchise issued only the following statement: “We have no interest in exploiting the late Tammy Faye’s good image. But we washed and bleached the damn things like 50 times. We have a right to recoup our losses in any way we see fit.”

Not that it's particularly tasteful now actually ... but at least some time has elapsed. And to be honest if you Wikipedia that whole Tammy Faye/Jim Bakker/Jessica Hahn debacle and digest it retrospectively in one sitting, you’ll come to realize they just don’t make whacked-out celeb fodder like this anymore.
