"Hey, I think I'll take a trip down there and add to the wall with my painting of a "Flaming" gay dying with aids and related skin lesions, a painting of a partial birth baby with bloody scissors sticking out of it's neck and mohammed cutting off the heads of women and children. Do you think I would get aweay with it? ? Not on your life. But they can denigrate and and make nasty and unclean and gross anything they want."
Go right ahead. Hell, you'd probably win the Turner Prize. They love anything guaranteed to cause controversy.
PROTIP: One past winner was an empty room, with just a light on the ceiling flashing on & off. Three words: 'Money'. 'Old Rope'. I think I'll create a great art masterpiece meself. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just off to B&Q (the DIY warehouse chain) and buy a palletload of bricks...!
The only way the Turner Prize would shock me these days, is if the winner was an actual artwork, such as a painting (landscape, portrait etc) or a statue (a la Michelangelo's 'David'); i.e., if it was good.
At least that by Henry Moore has creative talent & ability. Today, the crap one sees in the Turner Prize, frankly it's art with a capital 'F'
So true artistic ability is a rarity, displayed by a select few, imbued with a natural talent to create unique and priceless masterpieces? Seems that everyone on the planet creates a great work of art every time they get out of bed in the morning. QED. Tracy Emin, take note.

Last week, when I was walking in the park, I saw a woman sitting on a bench with her child. She was breastfeeding her child. A perfectly natural activity. Now, this is where you explain to me that this is supposed to be offensive... how? You tell me.
...oh, and pop quiz, hotshot: Did SMA formula and baby bottles, nay, sterilisation equipment, exist in Biblical times? If your answer is anything other than 'Yes' (and you can prove it), you've just destroyed your own argument.
