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!
