After reading this, at least as far as I could make it before giving up in revulsion, I'm speechless...

This is what it said on the San Francisco Art Institute web site:

The San Francisco Art Institute is a private, not-for-profit institutionsupported by its members, individual contributors to the Café Society, and corporate, foundation, and government grants. The San Francisco Art Institute's public programs are sustained through the generosity of Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund and the California Arts Council, a state agency. Gifts to the San Francisco Art Institute are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the law.

Enjoy the benefits of membership and support excellence in fine arts education. Join our students and dedicate yourself to personal exploration and artistic experimentation.

So not only is this perversion going on, in the name of "scholarship" - It's subsidized by taxpayers, corporate sponsors, and every visitor who stays in a San Francisco hotel.

All I can say is WTF?

Time was, these sort of antics would get you tarred and feathered, and then ridden out on a rail. Guys like these would be called "sex fiends", "homos", "fruits" and "perverts". Now they are called artists, a word once used to describe those who could create beautiful things, but is now applied to people dropping a log on stage. I knew a guy that used to shit in public places, but he was a stumble-down drunk.

The idea that these types would be supported by tax dollars is pretty bizarre. Or maybe I need to get off the world. It's getting too heavy for my head.

The fix the Art Institute finds itself in -- it conceivably stands to be sued into oblivion by a distressed student -- is entirely of its own making.

Sued into oblivion would be the kindest ending to this sick sick institution.

I guess it still smelled after two years. I feel unclean just having read about that.

Thanks for the info Skypilot, does the semi-current date make this story irrelevant?

It came back to life after new allegations of the same type of sick behavior in another course at the school.

Finley's pieces involve forcing candied yams into her anus, shitting into a bowl and letting another artist eat it, and inviting the audience to lick goo off her naked body.

We can see that this institution craps out the finest students. It is said that you can tell a tree by its fruits....time to incinerate this tree of knowledge. Or better yet, allow it to exist so that when we browse through resumes for employees, we can send any with SF Art Academy to be used as bird cage liner and not "waste" our time on an interview....now that's art!

Mr. Yegge needs to learn basics...like Exhibitionism isn't the same as Art! This type of thing goes on all over the country. Makes you want to vomit.

Fried says it exists in something as basic as the founding fabric of America. "The theory behind the Second Amendment is that it was put there to make it possible to overthrow the controlling structure of the country. Have a revolution once in a while. It was thought that that's a healthy thing to be in the fabric of the Constitution," says Fried, who notes that he's not debating gun control, rather pointing out the scary nature of violent revolutions.

No, the second amendment is there to prevent the federal government from regulating private firearms ownership, leaving that up to the States (the Bill of Rrights didn't apply to individuals until after the Civil War).

The funny thing is, when gun control was legal, there wasn't any... and now that gun control is illegal, we have tens of thousands of laws.

LOL!!!

Eventually those who hold stock in "family friendly" Disney may be happy to see some public artwork like this displayed there in their own private video showing. Especially if they consider what they're going to see at the next stockholders' meeting as "much ado about nothing":
