I think this whole "Performance art" thing is a hoot, but it would be annoying to store management and other shoppers.
There are 2 pictures at the source.

Translation: We university students are soooooo much smarter than the rest of you rural Wal-Mart-shopping Oconee County hicks, so therefore we're going to disrupt your shopping because we want to.
God save us from arrogant liberal art majors.

Art? Not.
Nothing more than anarchy.

a bunch of shallow miscreants getting college credit for acting like eight year old brats.
I don't know who is worse, the students, or the college that gives them credit for antics like this.

Sounds like another episode of "Bad Performance Art", hosted by Leonard Pinth-Garnell.

Obviously these kids are in need of a two week course on survival.
Like being dropped off in some desolate spot in Arizona with a penknife, one canteen of water, a sleeping bag, and a book of their choice.

Classic shoplifting strategy: Create a diversion and while the security people are occupied, fill your pockets with DVD's.

It is a testament to the good nature of average Americans that people who have to work for a living do not kick the ever-loving crap out of supercilious snots who have enough spare time to lecture the "proletariat" about ethics.

"Wal-Mart is the New America ... united we stand, 24 hours a day, consume, consume, consume," said James Kubie, a sophomore from Dunwoody and an organizer of the performance. There's a reason why the word "sophmoric" is in the dictionary.
The dirty little secret of performance artists everywhere: money from home. Get a job, dudes!
The fact that I'm a Christian prevents me from saying what I really feel.

"We just wanted something we could do at Wal-Mart to bring the youth culture and the art world into kinda like a fluorescent-lit wasteland," he said. Could this "artist" be able to make a florescent lightbulb? Explain how one works? Give a five-minute lecture on electricity? Why is light from an energy-efficient florescent bulb somehow offensive, while noise pollution from a boom-box (one expression of youth "culture") is okay? Ayn Rand had a lot of interesting and amusing things to say about pretentious fools who think they know everything and criticize everything, while if society had to rely on their knowledge, we would be back in the stone age.

Assembling all of these snot-nosed little twits and administering a public flogging......Now there's some performance art I'd enjoy!
To: Wumpus Hunter
I guess I was too busy studying and working after class in college. I missed play time. What was the purpose here? All I read from the article was that a bunch of kids dressed up and acted silly at Walmarts. It sounds like it might have been fun but academic?

"Would you try feminism even once?" Gazaway asked Wal-Mart customers with confused looks on their faces.
Does any else remember Ali G's questions about "experimenting with feminism"? Looks like these kids have seen and copied the skit.

We should all plan a BBQ / ho'down at their next art exhibit complete with line-dancing and a roasted pig.
