Beloved painter of light (and god of Xeroxing said paintings of light) schlock-monster, Thomas Kinkade, was arrested in Carmel and booked in Monterey for driving under the influence, you know, in a good, Xristian kind of way:
On this lackadaisical news day, we bring you word that Thomas Kinkade, painter of Christ’s love reborn 10 million times over in picturesque cottage form, was recently arrested for alleged DUI. The California artist, according to reports, was pulled over Friday night just outside Carmel and arrested by an officer a little after 10 p.m. The 52-year-old “Painter of Light” was booked into the Monterey County Jail “on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving.” After performing sobriety tests, police say Kinkade remained “very polite” throughout the ordeal. Aw.
One can only wonder if the Arrest Warrant matches his sofa.

UPDATE: Boo’em, Dano
Looks more like the Drinker of Bud.

He is also the Drinker of Lites, about four or five pints of Miller Lite at a go.

Well, in fairness, didn’t his company that sells his craptastic “art” declare bankruptcy? He’s just another suffering artist.
