The controversial “Piss Christ” artwork Sen. Alfonse D’Amato once branded as a “deplorable, despicable display of vulgarity,” is coming to New York, and security is being heavily ramped- up at the gallery that will show the piece.
Andres Serrano’s work — a “photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine” — first ignited controversy in 1989 when D’Amato complained to the US Senate that it was an “outrage,” an “indignity” and a “piece of trash” that had been funded by taxpayers.

I guess there’s little chance that we’ll see one of these National Endowment for the Arts “artists” do a p*** Mohammed. I didn’t think so.

It is good that one of the greatest achievements of our culture is kept in circulation. Our slack jawed population will (89% believers we are told) have something to inspire them.

What a coward! Put “Piss Koran” right next to it, and I’ll be impressed.

Maybe Christians should riot and burn down New York, it is what the Muslims would do.

You know one thing that surprises me (a little) is that Muslims don’t get outraged when “art” like this is produced. After all, aren’t we always told that they regard Jesus as one of their greatest prophets?
I guess not.

They want to compare our reaction to the overreaction of murderous muslims. They’ll never see there IS no comparison.
