ADULTS ONLY ART

The Royal Academy of Arts in London is trying to pass crap off as art:
The show features semen-stained newspapers, a painting of a young girl performing a sex act on a man, and a battle scene involving rats.
Here's more on the sticky newspapers:
Adopting all the attitude of hip hop posturing, Dash Snow’s Fuck the Police presents a prized collection of newspaper headlines emblazoned with instances cop corruption. Each salacious story is splattered with cum and framed and mounted as a trophy. Wittily combining protest with hard-core bravado, Snow’s installation draws upon fictional connotations to conjure sociopathic images of gangsta persona. In his ballsy statement of counter-culture vehemence, Snow merges Warhol reference with Tarantino sensationalism in humorously pathological display.
Dash just loves to play with his camera (CAUTION: SEXUALLY EXPLICIT).

Art was once about masterful creation; now it's about breaking taboos. Sad, really.
