Armed robbers have stolen the iconic Edvard Munch painting, The Scream, from the Munch Museum in Norway.

The masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched.

One robber threatened museum staff with a gun before the gang escaped in a waiting car, museum staff told the BBC.

That painting kinda freaks me out.

There are several versions. Aother one got stolen a few years ago.

I'm pissed off they took the Madonna though... that's one of my favorites :321GFY

yes, madonna is a great painting, one of my favortes as well

Yeah, it was stolen once before in 94, during the Norwegian winter olympics in Lillehammer.

that painting is priceless.. worth a fortune for sure :thumbsup

That was another version, I believe.

"It was secured to the wall by wire, all the thieves had to do was pull on it --- which he saw one of them doing."

For the millions this painting is supposed to be worth, you'd think they could atleast .... secure it. Stealing a statue of Ronald McDonald from McDonalds would be harder to do in any bad neighborhood in the US....

damn thats badass, hope it looks good where they hang it :1orglaugh

Yeah it doesn't sound like they were taking the security very seriously.

That gotta be a fake one

That's a really nice one ... :P

Look for those two paintings on Ebay... well if the robbers are actually that stupid :1orglaugh

i think they need to hire better security

how do you sell stolen paintings?

I hear they masterbate to them. Crazy niche.

i hope you didn't steal it

That is something that was probably already sold! :winkwink:

Specially goth gimps.

priceless art...i'll be looking for it. a murder on the lane looks good too.
