About Me

THE ARTWORLD ALLOWS FOR SUCH SAFE POSTMODERN DISTANCING. JUST LIKE TREADMILL FETISHISTS NEED. JUST AS REDUCED LAZY PERVERTS SPOUT WHEN THEY'RE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. GRUBBING JOB-HUNTING ARTISTS AND ART AFICIONADOS WHO PREFER ART THAT 'RAISES QUESTIONS' ARE CERTAINLY AS DISGUSTING AS THOSE RUBBERED DILETTANTES WHO RECOGNISE THAT THE ANSWERS ARE WHAT YOU MASTURBATE OVER. ONCE YOU'RE OUT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU CAN'T APPRECIATE MERE QUESTIONS. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'D PREFER TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE RESPONSES THAT THOSE QUESTIONS PRODUCE IN PUBLIC.
