yes, as i said earlier, its the very art of the jester to provide social commentary. some may choose to believe that the jest takes away from his level of sincerity, but i would disagree

Absolutely. £100s is a huge amount of money -especially in the field of arts- and after all, ebay really is one of the most distinctive art galleries.

just so i know - what's the total £s/gallery that means criticism's ok?

Families visiting Disneyland on their holiday this week saw a life-size Guantanamo bay inmate standing inside the Rocky Mountain Railroad ride at Disneyland in Anaheim California.
The sculpture, consisting of an inflatable doll dressed in an orange jumpsuit with its hands and feet manacled remained in place for one and a half hours before Disneyland's security staff shut down the ride and removed it amid fears over public safety.
The artist: Banksy

Criticism is always permitted, but at least make use of some reasonable arguments. If you want to criticize art, please have some perspective.

It seems to me that alot of people in this thread are shocked way too easily by the output of contemporary conceptual art.
