Pretentious bollocksPossibly 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?

Get over yourself loveI know this girl who's a teacher. She occasionally has to organise her class to perform a school play at assembly - we're talking a 10 minute long "production" with a couple of songs thrown in and a big bow at the end. These kids are 9 and 10 years old. I saw this teacher recently and asked her how work was going. Error. "Well," she says dramatically, "It's my turn to organise assembly this week and I'm having a bit of a nightmare with it." "Why's that?" I ask politely. "Well I think I've got the CASTING right but I'm having trouble with the dialogue." I'm serious. It's an ASSEMBLY for 9 and 10 years olds for fuck's sake! Casting! Dialogue! I don't see her any more if I can help it.
