Its funny, i made a mental bet with my friend earlier that as soon as the sun came up in LA your contrary self would be writing a post to inform us of the misinformation we've all been suffering. And that if we looked beneath the media hype we'd see the work of genius that Mr Vargas was letting us in on. It boggles my mind that you would mention Serrano or Hirst in the same breath as this attention seeker. Both Hirst(who's a much more talented attention seeker) and Serrano's work has a depth that goes beyond the basic need to shock, and always has a deeper context. There is also another glaring difference, a LIVE animal and the idea that we are worthy of causing prolonged suffering in the name of a trite ass point that needs no emphasising anyway. Thanks for the patronising art lesson, but your flogging a dead horse around here. And while i'm here your article on Mexican immigrants was straight up FUCKED. Had to get that in.
