Better yet, why don't we all just become teases and manipulative bitches
and bastards.  And who needs or wants this pretentious "art" stuff!  Who
wants to pay attention to pretentious assholes like Steinbeck and Van
Gogh and The Beatles?  Why not just let Madison Avenue write Pepsi
jingles for all our music, and who wouldn't be satisfied reading
Harlequin romance novels?  Who wants culture?  We should tell all the
artists in the world to take a hike.  Let them starve!  Who cares about
them anyway?  The only purpose in life is to take whatever you can grab.
And no one should speak out against things they might find offensive,
because it might make some people think, and that might hurt their poor
sensitive little heads, and we wouldn't want that!

P.S.  Buy a Madonna album -- starve an artist!
