I think it is fine if someone wants to put their feces in a jar and sell it
as art. I think what I find interesting is that someone in the art world who
is in a position of authority actually validated it by spending thousands of
dollars of money on it. Now maybe this person had a good reason for doing so
and isn't as much of a fool as we think, or maybe they are. It would be
interesting to know more about his/her 's reasons for making the purchase. I
would think if he is a fool, he probably won't last long at his job.
I did think the comment in the article about the man reading the article
while in the bathroom and then having the sudden idea of committing forgery
was quite funny.
I wish more money were available for the National Endowment of the Arts, I
wish there were more education in the arts available for the general public.
I wish public schools could do more of this. I would even pay more taxes to
support these efforts.

it's hilarious that this guy, knowing his own value in the art community and
seeing how utterly worthless and ridicules that notion actually is, passed
his own crap off as art. That's the point (and a good one I might add since
it seems to bother some people). >>
