There was a guy in the UK who got an art grant of around £20k (from what I remember), to kick a take-away curry carton up and down the high street.

The fuck is this shit?
See, we've become so decadant as a society that shit like this is allowed. And people wonder why terrorists have a problem with us. Now I'm not saying that they're right, or that they should do what they do...but I understand.
In all seriousness though. I'm a writer. I've been working on a novel for ages now, and I also run my own site for video game reviews, news, etc. Granted that's only just started up but still. I don't get jack shit for doing my best to hone my writing skills. OK, I'm not the new Steven King or anything, but at least what I do can be considered artistic in some fashion. It's not doing what pissed people do every Saturday night come rain or shine. These 'artists' try to justify this crap with bullshit like 'its a comment on modern society' or 'you can see the artists tortured soul throught he brushstrokes'. NO YOU FUCKING CAN'T. I make comments on society all the time. I'm not rich and famous. Artists these days are a bunch of idle scroungers who trick us with lies like that and sit back watching us gawp at something they threw together over a lunch hour. If I didn't know better, I'd say they were part of our royal family.
