Did Tracy Emin participate in that Piss Christ passion that swept through art?

You know, crucifixes in toilets or drenched in blood, dung-painted virgin mary's, sarcastic "gay warrior Jesus" murals, etc. For a few years it was like all art had to be about shocking christians.

I just can't stand such a lack of originality.

I was going to make some crack about how the Nazis not considering Modern art to be worthless non-art just goes to show how even a broken clock is right twice a day, but then I saw this:

Curse this lack of an edit function...

And curse the fact that I've gotten 10 hours sleep in the last 48 hours...

Perhaps it would be small and petty of me to gloat over another [apparent] artist's work being burned.

Well, art's about being honest, so I'm pissed off that your shit was burned, not because x amount of material was destroyed. but because I'm sure it didn't actually effect you fucks as it takes fuck all effort to do.

So go on, Emin and the rest of the talentless pseudoartists, carry on like soldiers and treat your burned works with the apathy they so sorely deserve.

If that was me gloating, then so be it, but noone should be paid £10 000 for putting a bed in a glass case, or a dodgy timer light switch.
