What’s the difference between the two pieces of “art” above?
The one on the right required some artistic talent. The one on the left required the – uh, can I say this? – imagination of a pissed-off 13 year old vandal after drinking a six pack of beer. Fill a jar with what the body makes of most beer, drop in a crucifix, and shoot away with your cell phone camera. Brilliant! Now that’s art.
The one on the right didn’t cost the American or any other taxpayer a dime. The photo on the left cost the American taxpayer $15,000 of NEA grant money. Hey, in today’s climate, we got a bargain, and by today’s standards it was money well spent.
The one on the right got the religion of perpetual rage once again stomping their feet in anger and as usual when enraged Muslims stomp their feet, some Christian’s head is usually under their heel. The picture that required some artistic talent also required the artist who drew it to go into hiding while the observers of the “religion of peace” burned churches, rioted and murdered innocent people who had not one thing to do with the picture or its publication. The one the left got Senator Jesse Helms and the Catholic League so outraged they sent a strong letter to National Endowment for the “Arts” condemning the waste of taxpayer money to support an offensive piece junk.
The one on the right was banned in a many publications and censored in a number of countries. The artist was condemned and shunned and as noted had his life threatened. The one on the left was hailed as an artistic masterpiece and won awards in Europe. The artist was all but knighted for his courage and vision.
The one on the right has the Danish PM traveling to Turkey this week to grovel for forgiveness from the religion of perpetual outrage. The one on the left demands that its critics apologize for being offended - 1st Amendment, freedom of speech and all of that don’t you know.
But you know, I’d rather see a picture of a crucifix submerged in some dope’s urine than the Dear Leader standing at the graduation podium at Notre Dame. At least Father Jenkins, the President of Notre Dame, didn’t ask Serrano to piss on a crucifix – well, at least I don’t think he did - maybe.
But hey, maybe the Dear Leader will take the opportunity of his graduation speech to apologize to Catholics for the US Government funding art that is offensive to them. Hahahahahahahha, you’re killing me.
