Gizmodo has posed a short video of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage of Mythbusters painting the Mona Lisa in less than a second:

They start the demo by bringing out their trusty paintball-enabled r/c swivel arm robot, which demonstrates the concept by firing a happy face on the wall. Ooh! Variable speed!

I agree with Gizmodo’s assessment, seeing as the demo was only tangentially apropos to the premise, which was the difference between CPUs and GPUs:

The sheer ridiculousness of this demonstration makes its questionable veracity completely, totally, seriously excusable.

Because everybody knws that if your demo is awesome enough, you can get away with a small amount of bad science.
