Hey, tell ya what. I'll GIVE you the idea that the stupid Lite Brite is "ART." Happy? Hell, let's even call it "high" art, to give it some respect, OK?

It's art that was made by a giant corporation--it's purpose was to advertise a movie. But the corporation is INCREDIBLY clever--they've managed to make suckers defend it, to insult those who think it is stupid, to conceptualize it as an "in" thing for the "groovy" types (that word is bound to come back--didn't you hear those counterculture spokesmodels say, at their presser, that we're going back to 70's hair? They're already working their NEXT Time Warner gig, just for you guys!).

Here's why they spread that "art" all over ten cities--so that suckers, sheep ready for the fleecing, would line up for tickets to a movie featuring the stupid character, thinking that they were "counterculture cool" and not lemming-tools of a GOP corporate entity...that'll be ten bucks, enjoy the film...and don't forget to buy the cool pre-aged, weatherbeaten, "alternative" tee-shirt, too, only $19.99 plus S+H!!! Hey, we have ball caps and coffee cups too!

How much of that ticket fee will end up at the RNC, when they're done making their contributions?

So you get your wish, it is (cough) 'art', OK. Art like "Highlights For Children" is FUN. Fun....with a PURPOSE. And the purpose of the art you hold on high is to separate your cash from your wallet.

Which, to my appreciative eye, art history lessons or no, makes it crap.

But hey, free country, enjoy!! Number ONE in the Hood!
