my defence of Idiot Emin winning the Turner Prize ages ago was that it's awarded to artists that get work on the public eye and promote discussion about art, among other things, and actually - for whatever reason she suceeded, she did bring art into the minds of the public and promote some form of debate. But then again, there is only so much self satisfied smugness you can take from the 'YBA' before you just want to kill them.
