Ten Reasons Why Spencer Pratt Might be is Our Generations Andy Warhol

Share

Interview Magazine might be quick to call Marc Jacobs our generations Andy Warhol, but to give the twinkalicious designer such an honor ignores one key fact, Marc’s old enough to be our dad. That ageist tidbit had me thinking about who in our demographic represents the modern day Warhol and unfortunately all signs pointed to one person, Spencer Pratt. 

The 25 year old producer, mudslinger, media whore, entrepreneur and party boy has in a matter of four years garnered the type of public attention that would make any Warholian raise an eyebrow and take notice.  With his muse, Heidi Montag (a modern day Edie Sedgewick, perhaps), on his arm Spencer Pratt has managed to get massive amounts of coverage for producing works of media art that are about as basic as drawing a can of tomato soup on a canvas. The posterboy for “15 minutes of fame”, Spencer has withstood the deluge of public bashings like a resilient turd cake on the porcelain surface of our society’s tabloid toilet and has pushed his career farther than any reality television to date. 

Don’t think Spencer Pratt is a good candidate for todays Warhol?  Check out our ten reasons why he just might be the artists second coming. 

1. Warhol was responsible for launching the music career of The Velvet Underground. Pratt’s responsible for launching the music career of Heidi Montag, a decision we all will have to live with for the rest of our lives.

2. Warhol made headlines for producing works of art which many critics deemed nothing more than a hoax. Spencer makes headlines for producing bowel movements. 

 3. Warhol’s muse was socialite Edie Sedgewick who tragically died at age 28 from an overdose.  Heidi Montag is 21.

 

4. Warhol was known for shooting painful to watch, boring art films which nobody ever watched or cared about. Pratt directed Heidi’s first music video. 

 

5. The success of Andy Warhol helped launched the careers of other pop artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat. The success of Spencer Pratt helped launch Bromance…

6. Andy Warhol loved superheroes and was know for producing art featuring Superman and the film Batman Dracula. Spencer did this …

7. Andy Warhol founded Interview magazine, a gossip publication dedicated to his favorite celebrities. 100% of Spencer’s income comes from selling before and after picts of his girlfriends boob job to In Touch Weekly. 

8. Much of Warhol’s work explored the nude male form and were deemed homoerotic.  Spencer Pratt just got offered $1 million to appear nude in Playgirl. Oh yeah, and Bromance…

9. Andy Warhol’s work has been used to sell snowboards, sneakers, dresses, school supplies, perfume, thong bikinis, and cans of Campbell’s soup. Spencer Pratt’s been used to sell issues of Radar Magazine. 

10. Andy Warhol predicted that in the future everyone would have 15 minutes of fame. Spencer Pratt to the utter dismay of America has fulfilled that prophesy.
