This is a question Pretentious bollocks

Possibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.

When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.

What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

It doesn't get any more pretentious than the "3" adverts.
If, for some odd reason, I happen to be watching television and an advert comes on that has no meaning, plot, sense or point what-so-ever than the chances are it's an advert for the mobile phone company 3.

The people who profess to liking these adverts have been fooled into thinking that they are artistic and mean something far greater than their limited intellect can comprehend.

Phone adverts in general seem to thrive on pretentiousness. One recent advert suggests that great things happen when you switch your phone off...

...well if that doesn't want to make you rush out and buy a phone, what will?
