I had a non-fungible token once, but it got funged anyway. I had lost the paperwork, so I couldn't put in an insurance claim. I'm surprised that a lady of your sophistication is willing to discuss funging in so public a space.

I would very much like the bag but... too expensive. I agree that the NFT was copyright infringement....but I also think it was kind of petty to go after them.

I remember in Gilmore Girls when Logan gave Rory a Birkin bag, and Rory’s grandma viewed it as being tantamount to a marriage proposal. Now I understand why!

And I agree that it was petty of Hermès to go after this artist.

Pretty clear-cut case, as the artist did nothing to comment or extend on the imagery, as Warhol did with Campbell’s soup cans. And I wonder if that artist’s last name means he’s on a trust fund from one of the world’s wealthiest families.
