Is it offensive generally? yes
Does it offend me particularly? no
Is it worthy to discuss? no
Is it a waste of my time ? uh-huh
Is it art? give me a break...
Is it unique? hardly
Is it all over the internet? yes
Why is it more "art" than what is available on untold numbers of web
sites?
Does it give me insight into the nature of art? hardly


enough time wasted...

Steve
