As a person with an Art degree, let me tell you why I don’t pursue art anymore. Art is irrelevant as a form of communication. The spoken word and video have replaced it because today’s art professors refuse to step away from the forms and the expression of the 50’s and 60’s and to move back toward asthetics.
In that gap, advertising art has surpassed modern art in it’s ability to communicate to the viewer. Video has surpassed formal art. Computer art has surpassed formal art. As a result, today’s “modern artists” are largely unknown, unimpressive and irrelevant to modern culture. As in biologcal evolution, they have failed to evolve past “shock art” so they are doomed to become extinct, in terms of cultural importance.
The “flag thing” is a lame attempt at shock art, carried out by ass clowns, appreciated only by ass clowns and is, at best, a 15 second clip on a news commentary. Degas, Renior, Manet or Dine, it’s not.

rbb: you are often silly, you are mostly irrelevant, but this is the first time I can remember that you are just tedious.
It’s hard to imagine what political persuasion you hold that would not find the desecration of the flag odious and the disrespect to these veterans despicable.

Because walking on the American Flag is wrong.

pp, your powers of perception might have just jerked a knee.
Please show me where I disrespected anyone except the person in the picture.

rbb: remember that you are very clever at posting items for which you cannot be held accountable.
Do you approve of this U of Maine ‘art’ display?

Reckoned as Brainless Bob can’t tell the difference between an actual flag and a picture of a flag on a door mat.
(His mother cries every night at the thought of him!)

bob’s probably the type to get his panties in a bunch over a picture of a gun at school! (Not being able to tell the difference!)
(was that photoshopped?)
