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?

And I thought Picasso's work was cr@p.

Where else but(t) in San Francisco could a turd be considered both a Mona Lisa AND an hor d'oerve?

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.

This is a 2 year old story.

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.

I saw this on TV once (cable of course)... it was pretty disturbing.

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.

Why do we sell fiction when there's this? Gawd Awful.

The school administration called Yegge in, put him on academic probation

Way to get tough!

[NorCoGOP]

Only one thing to say:

Eww....ewww.....EEEeeewwwww!

[Slyfox]

Gee, this guy coulda videotaped it himself and sold it on the internet and made the big bucks.

Every once in a while, conversation comes up between Christians about the final judgement and what we think about the prophecies and the second coming.

I had no idea we were that close.

How are Christians to respond to these evil days? First of all the Lord gave the warning as His second coming approached we would see these attitudes occurring in the world. II Timothy 3:1-4 says, This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.

Yeah, I know I throw this around a lot, but it keeps haunting me. Here's the link to the site that has some more interesting thoughts:Bible quotes and stuff.

Oh, brother! I just posted a reply on the "Berkely Sexuality" thread and then stumbled across this. Can't keep up with the California raisins and nuts. Since this story is two years old, does anyone know if the nut sued the raisin or what has happened in the interim?

Thank goodness for colleges like Hillsdale.

What else would you expect from the heart of ACLU Liberal/Libertarian attitudes and the home of the "medical marijuana" movement.

Person on pot quote of the year from the pot mecca called San Francisco,

Another man, Patrick Hughes(a "medical marijuana "patient") circled around the police squad units -- sent as backup -- intermittently standing up and raising his arms in the air. "I have brain damage," he said. "I can stand up, but I can't walk."

Hughes said he smokes marijuana morning, noon and night to ease the pain.

IMHO, looks like the "art" scholar, Mr. Yegge, and Mr. Hughes, who made the comments in the above italicized passage, have something in common.

Brain damage.

I looked at SFWeekly.com page and could not find this article anywhere. That's not that I looked everyplace; it's just that I couldn't find it.

Can anyone find a link for it at the original source. (Not Drudge....Drudge is just reporting it like us.) I need the original link.

I need FR help.
