In case anyone wants the url for the article.

I'm pretty appalled by this, but since I have been given the mantle for the art ping, here goes.

Ping. If you want on or off the art ping list, let me know. Sam Cree is away for a couple of weeks, so I'm filling in to keep you all up to date on art sightings.

For some reason, we keep getting pretty disgusting "bad" art on this site, but when the semester is done, I'll try to post some more positive art news.

Reminds me of that old joke, "Help me find my keys and we can drive out of here..."

I gave up long ago on trying to keep up with what "art" entails. One mans "silly" is another mans "Picasso".

Ping.

The artist thinks he has gone out on a limb with this naked offense to sensible persons, but I don't think he has a leg to stand on. I think the attraction is e-femur-al and there is no way the artist will be able to skirt the issue. The man clearly needs to start drinking de-calf and start to toe the line before he is recognized as nothing but a common heel.

It's obvious that he is *frustrated* and his piece is very revealing as to his kneeds. It's apparent his world view re-vulvas around sex, and he seams like a real eager beaver to put his inadequacy on display for the rest of the world. The community needs to grab the thigh-ger by the tail and give this sculpture the boot. If the shoe were on the other foot, they'd see how this makes their whole community look like a den of shinfulness.
