Viva La France

The peasants have revolted again. First the Bastille than the butt plug.

Just because you don't like his art you hope he never works again?

Seems logical.

"What a horrendous artist. I hope that he never ever finds work again."

Actually, this incident will assure that he will not only find work again, but that he will be acclaimed and sought after more than ever. The elites in whatever art form like nothing more than those who stick it to all those lowly bourgeois types whom they hold in such contempt.

Just look at the sort of things that win critics' awards and Pulitzer prizes.

You're probably right, After Eight, but it still makes me sad/angry that people have to look at such offensive and ugly "art". And yes, lots of plays that win awards nowadays are horrible. Did you ever see The Flick on stage? I tried to read the script and it was one of the most pretentious things I have ever read. People need to realize that they are not as good as they think they are and that theatre should be entertaining to an audience, not just to snobs, and the same goes for art.

My goodness. I looked up some of his other work, and if you truly want to be revolted, look at his "Life Cast TG Awake" sculpture. The female nude can be a thing of great beauty as painters like Botticelli, Lefebvre, and Giampietrino have proven, but this artist has chosen to create truly the ugliest sculpture based on the form imaginable. To the vandals that tore down that "sculpture", they should be saluted.

People crack me up who think McCarthy might -- or might not -- "find work again."
