Do any ilxors really rate this guy? Is there any good that comes from his progressive political message, especially when that message is delivered in way that's at every turn, heavy handed, clunky and hollow?

the whole thing could have been better if he passed around cards saying he was donating 100% of the proceeds to the heritage foundation or something. about as politically relevant as a junior high kid stenciling anarchy symbols on his trapper keeper, but then again BRAD PITT!!!!!!

Chris, that was probably me. Actually, I was saying that when I have a gallery show that I will throw feces at a fan to let people know that "the sh*t is hitting the fan." I will also ride into the gallery on a very high horse. Then I will ascend an actual ivory tower which I will invite Banksy to deface.

> Little cards were passed out with a picture of a starving child which included that line followed by: "*20* billion people live below the poverty line."
the full thing (from the guardian) is "There's an elephant in the room. There's a problem we never talk about. The fact is that life isn't getting any fairer. 1.7 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. 20 billion people live below the poverty line. Every day hundreds of people are made to physically be sick by morons at art shows telling them how bad the world is but never actually doing something about it. Anybody want a free glass of wine?" which is an entirely different thing.
