In an attempt to mock Shia LaBeouf's art exhibit (which is a response to his own plagiarism), Jerry O'Connell has opened a parody art exhibit right next door titled: #IAMSORRYTOO.
For what we're not sure.
Unlike Shia's seven day art pop-up, O'Connell was only on hand for one day, yesterday (Feb. 12) from 1PM to 5PMish PST with a store front that looks exactly like LaBeouf's and is basically a plagiarism of ridiculous and purposeful plagiarist Shia LaBeouf.
You know, who is basically just plagiarizing performance artist Marina Abramovic. It's the inception of plagiarism.
According to BuzzFeed, it's almost exactly the same, minus the crying and the silence.
Visitors are asked to choose an "implement" off a table, which includes a copy of O'Connell's childhood film Stand By Me and are then brought into a room and seated across from the actor who is wearing a paper bag with the words "Super Famous" written on it.
Explained O'Connell when asked why he was participating in the spoof with Funny or Die, "A very good friend of mine, Jensen Karp, owns a gallery called Melrose 1988. He emailed me at 7:30 a.m. this morning. My wife is working, I’m on daddy duty, and it seemed like a fun thing to do today. So I dropped the kids off and drove right over here."
"Everyone’s talking about it, whether you want to call it art or a real apology, it’s hilarious. He’s getting people talking. I’m all for this artsy gallery thing. It’s fun to parody because all I have to do here is sit with a bag on my head, crying, and saying, ‘I sowwy.’ But I have to tell you; it’s freeing to continually apologize like he does. I get it."
