art show

Apparently there is a reality show on Bravo in which artists compete with each other. I know this because I saw an advertisement for it, featuring a guy who painted mutilated genitals in the shape of the Mickey Mouse logo.

Here's the script:
1. Artist tries really hard to be offensive.
2. People are offended.
3. Artist publicly claims he is misunderstood.
4. Artist privately celebrates that his work is getting attention.

We get it, artists. You are all independent thinkers, as demonstrated by your many tattoos. You are cutting-edge. And controversial. And opposed to the policies of the Bush administration. And mad at Daddy. We get it.
