It is mind boggling to see what makes news in the Arab world.

I want to put a copy of the Koran in a bucket of urine and call it an artwork.

What if it was funded, in part, by the NEA (your tax dollars)? Just curious.

I'd just call that the misuse of a bucket - and a waste of good piss.

I don't understand how other peoples actions can be claimed as artwork by someone else.

Good point. Can you IMAGINE the outrage if one was to do this? However, Piss Christ was just fine and dandy for our liberal friends.

I concur. I was hoping others would also exercise their freedom of speech and tell the administration how craptacular this is.

Maybe the alumni can exercise their free market rights and withhold their donations.

well, the reason I don't have a problem with it is... as long as children are not looking at it. LIBERALS tend to go to art shows, THEY NEED TO SEE THIS... maybe it will sink into their little brains that the enemy is vile, brutal and disgusting....

Well, now that would be considered derivative. Maybe you should put porn photos and elephant dung on a painting of Mohammed... oh, wait, that would be derivative too. Maybe you could put Mohammed into a profane comedy cartoon... uh, that's not original either. Sorry. I'm stumped. You'd be hard pressed to insult Islam in some artistically unique fashion, given what's already been done with Christianity.

I wonder if Al Qaeda will get NEA funding for a repeat of that "masterpiece" they performed on September 11, 2001.

Shhh! I hear some at the NEA have opposable thumbs... can operate computer keyboards and read.

Ignoble disgraceful lecherous rogues! What are we to do? Shrug our shoulders while they propagate their filth? Should we accept their unrestrained defilement of everything imaginable? Perhaps you do - but I don't. I've confirmed that my wife has sent these bastards money. I mean to make the short drive from north Alabama to have a chat with these delinquents. God help them should they attempt to justify this idiocy!
