# no,
i'd spend the money on being nice to other people. it's that fucking saatchi's fault. and he closed his gallery when i was last in london so i couldn't go in there and shout about what a wanker he is. bastard.

# Hear Hear
If I had his money and cheek I'd do exactly what he does. IE: Piss people off with my sheer gall and make even more money from the publicity. It's just self-feeding.

# hmmm
don't fink any amount of money could make me call dead animals in formaldihide art... its a pile of wank... not the animals but the concept... its far more offensive than poor wee goatse could ever be! well to me anyway!

# conceptual artists (except christo, becuase i liked his wrapping things up)
are usually wankers. they don't even do most of it themselves, yet take the credit.

whatever happened to people making pretty pictures? not bloody joapies.

# Fair point
If Hirst had done Goatse in oils & dead flies, Saatchi would have bought it for thousands.

Doesn't mean it's not art though...

# art is where you stop appreciating nice things and start categorising
some things he's put in galleries (like the colour wheel) have made me think "nice." i don't really want to think beyond that.
