This is what passes for art these days?

Some idiotic woman at Yale injected herself with fertility drugs while simultaneously ingesting abortion-inducing drugs so that she could display "the results" of the abortion drugs: http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/24513.

I admit, I am utterly incapable of understanding the thought process that led to a conclusion that this was a good idea. Apparently, I am on an island on this one. One of her fellow students indicated that he was intrigued by "the creativity and beauty" of the project.

The type of story that makes me sick

I'm an animal lover in general and a dog lover in particular, so when I read a story about a South American "artist" who apparently feels that art can and does consist of starving a dog to death, I can get pretty worked up: http://petloverstips.com/ForTheLoveoftheDog/news-updates/a-dead-dog-as-art-petition.

I suppose that there are individuals who are MUCH more sophisticated than me who are probably sneering in contempt at how I "just don't get it". The thing is, they're right. I don't get it, and never will. Torture isn't art. Animal cruelty isn't art.

I wonder how this "artist" would feel if the same thing were done to him?
