While I must admit that I find accidents like this funny, I wonder where all the hate against modern art in this thread is coming from. Why is it making you so aggressive? Why so narrow minded? If you were an artist, wouldn't you feel compelled to make something that kicks people out of their comfort zone?
There will always be good art and bad art, and I totally agree that artists can be annoying in their eagerness to do something provocative, if that's their only incentive. But art can be more than just glossy fan paintings of tropical video game scenery. IMO the art lies not only in the craft, but in the idea. And if it makes people think and discuss, it may already have served its purpose. Like the "canned shit" somebody posted: it's a strong statement, self ironic and offensive at the same time. Don't say you could have done it too - that's not the point, because you DIDN'T do it!! Egg of Columbus, man.

I'd like to add that I don't know much about modern art. But the "one less piece of shit in this world" comments are upsetting me. In earlier centuries those would have been the people with pitchforks and torches.
