I love that kind of stuff.. far more entertaining than the Bish himself in the funny hat there.

:D


I bet the artist himself would love this thread. By his own admission he didn't care if the bust was loved or hated ... but it would bother him greatly if it was ignored altogether. Many artists suffer from attention starvation to one degree or another, I suppose.

Be sure your hypocricy will find you out.

Too funny. If anyone's an artist it's Sandman for his ability to come up with posts that wind up becoming this absurd. :)

This effort to point out (SOBS?) hypocrisy in not seeing a parallel between this sculpture and an ever more ridiculously stereotypical imaginary sculpture not submitted by some imaginary artist reminds me of Toad trying to point out Beetle's hypocrisy in not agreeing with the life saving benefits of outlawing butter knives. :D

Isn't this the point where someone comes in and says something about panties in a bunch?

Now that could be a truly offensive scupture, depending on who's wearing 'em. ;)

Yeah... the 1st Amendment is rife with hypocrisy... damn the luck.

I'm sure you're just being argumentative and understand the hypocrisy I refer to is allowing only certain forms of free speech. Right?

I'll agree that certain forms of speech are not protected by the 1st Amendment, but I fail to see the hypocrisy in this case. Certainly, the sculpture makes a statement about the Catholic church, but this is subject to interpretation and it is not overt nor does it identify anyone personally.

FWIW, I see more in the expression on his face than I do in the stupid hat.

OK, while I can't ascribe hypocrisy directly to the school that is hosting this "art". Will you accept as hypocritical anyone that thinks it ok for this sculpture to be publicly presented while also thinking it ok for the protest of AA at SMU to be squelched?

It's about as tasteful as the noodle-headed priest monument.

I'm ok with just about any form of expression so long as I'm not paying for what I don't like and it doesn't break any laws. I even think the Ditzie Chicks should give up their music and go on a speaking campaign extoling the evils of the present administration. Same goes for all the actors that feel so abused by said administration. Let's see how much they can earn by spouting their rhetoric on the speaking circuit.
