"The gallery yesterday defended its decision to spend taxpayers' money on the work."

Atempted to defend.

"The purchase is not the only excreta the Tate has in its collection; it has also bought three paintings by Chris Ofili featuring elephant dung."

Patrick Bateman owned more than one Whitney Houston album...

"Last week the gallery denied that it had tried to play down the purchase. "We buy 500 works a year so we can't talk about every one," said the spokesman."

If you ask most people what they did in college, many will recall instantly their single most shameful act in their lives... and then pretend that "it was all a haze!"

"Manzoni died, aged just 29, within two years of creating his tinned art."

I am shocked that any s--t canning salesman might suffer an untimely death somehow.....

"In a letter to a friend, he explained that his motivation for tinning his faeces was to expose the gullible nature of the art-buying public."

Then in all seriousness, one can admire his motives.

For which I salute him.
