An "artist" is selling his latest masterpiece. A ball of boogers collected over a period of two years. He's looking to get 10,000 British Pounds for it.

He must subscribe to the genius of George Carlin who said, "If you nail two boards together that have never been nailed together before, some schmuck will buy it!"

I have no comment to make. I went down to an art gallery a few years back and saw a plastic bottle displayed as art. This doesn't surprise me any more.
I thought modern art was weird, but not stupid as this. As P.T. Barnum once said: There's a sucker born every minute.

When people stop recognizing this trash as art, people with real fucking talent will make the papers.

Where is the picture?
You can make anything you want and call it art according to some though that should hardly count.

As long as someone buys it, it'll be art. The artist isn't completely to blame, the buyer is the one making it worthwhile.

As an artist, I would beat the snot out of that little turd for ruining the reputation of my profession, but apparently, I'm too late. Bastards like him are why I have to work in an office.
Art is not stupid. People are stupid. The sheer fact that all those people looked at that snot gob with a price tag on it and didn't pummel him proves that that man is surrounded by idiots. You take these morons into account and soon you're complaining that the food world is stupid (fast food), the clothes world is stupid (fashion), the political world is stupid (ahem), etc., etc.
What a dastardly profession.

Yes Science! Hwang's fraud netted himself a 40 million dollar research lab w/ perks! All he had to do was invent a bunch of numbers and declare success!
