At this point, I’m not surprised at anything Shia LaBeouf does. Now he’s claiming that his entire douche act is some amazing meta-modernist performance art, but he doesn’t realize that James Franco has already cornered the market. Except that Franco, while annoying, at least comes up with original ideas for his “art” instead of plagiarizing everyone in existence. Shia even plagiarizes his apologies for plagiarism. Then he continues to do so while saying we’re all too dumb to understand his lofty message.

Shia’s latest stunt involved going “baghead” in Berlin to promote N*ymphomaniac. At the time, I briefly mentioned how Shia wanted to turn “baghead” into an art exhibit where people could use and abuse him in a number of humiliating ways. Shia’s been hinting at such an exhibit for weeks, and Popbytes accurately called the proposal a plagiarism of a 1974 exhibit by Marina Abramovic. Well the exhibit is happening now in Los Angeles, and Time magazine confirms Shia’s latest plagiarism of Abramovic’s prior work.

This is what’s happening: For his #IAMSORRY exhibit, Shia’s sitting in an art gallery for seven hours per day, five days per week. He’s sitting there with that stupid bag on his head and a bunch of implements — a whip, a pair of pliers, a Transformers toy, Hershey’s kisses (and more) — in front of him on a table. He even added a copy of a graphic novel by Daniel Clowes (whom Shia plagiarized for his short film). Buzzfeed has a photo of all the accessories. The Daily Beast has a picture of (a bagless) Shia at his table. TMZ has also sent a reporter to the scene, who says Shia is crying his eyes out during the exhibit.

This isn’t funny anymore, right? I mean, it IS funny. But it’s also cringeworthy. I don’t know if Shia is on drugs, falling into mental illness, or simply acting like a total a-hole. Page Six says Shia wanted to wear a wang cam during his N*mphy sex scenes, so I’m swayed to pick “a-hole” as the main cause of Shia’s behavior.
