What is the limit of stupidity of these guys? or do they have a limit?

I can tell that the artist who came up with this is not even an artist. it's just another guy who is trying to pull up some money from an unsuspicious public.

What is art anyway? Art is all the activity related to coming up with emotins, more detailed, elegant emotions; and it takes work to accomplish it.

michelangelo did it by painting the 6th chapel, many other works and even sculpting David in those "pure" years. (of course out of art, not nudity or pornograghy)

Da vinci did it by making several intricate works that people now think there is a secret code to them.

even Roy Liechenstein did it by posterizing images of magazine-like detail.

all these have one thing in common. it took work for them to accomplish their status. but putting a fish into a cheap, POS blender is not art. it neither gives any emotions.

A Good Bach or a nice Queen might do the trick, but this doesn't

I'm not saying it's good art, but it does provoke emotion.

So does punching you in the face, but I doubt you'd consider that art.

Provoking emotion MIGHT be necessary for something to be art, but it's certainly not sufficient.

/can't define art either

ah but two people punching each other in the face would be art.
or a bar brawl. Such a thin line these days.

Standing under a "Punch in the Face - $5" sign could be art, though.

ya bunch of sick bastards:rolleyes:

:rar: :typing: Why don't you ask my sister? she's an artist.

I thought you were about to say she was a boxer.

:boxers: Yo I also have the background of boxing in my life also Tae-kwondo.

:rar: So watch out.

Yeah, those are swordtails.

Interesting. I don't think it's art. It looks more like drunk college Teke humor. Oops...drunk and teke...that would be redundant, wouldn't it? Sorry 'bout that. Adolescent college humor, along the lines of daring someone to swallow goldfish when they're drunk.

It seems pretty common that the infliction of pain on lower life forms is not often considered important to humans. They figure since THEY can't feel it, what does it matter? However, here in the states, the artist would possibly be subject to animal cruelty laws. I can't swear to that, though, because I don't know if the animal cruelty laws apply to fish. ;)

I find it interesting, also, that some who don't support execution for a convicted murderer have no problem causing the useless death of an animal that's done nothing to deserve it. They'll press the button just because "oooohh, watch the fishy spin...cooooool. Check out the blood, dude, that's gross. Cool.""

I agree that it takes more for something to be art than for it to just be provocative. Yelling racial slurs on the street corner is provocative, but it isn't art. My daughter is more creative, and she's only two-and-a-half.


And as to the suggestion that if you blend it you oughta drink it, RIGHT ON! :beer: :thumb:
