    No organized Muslim religion did either. It was an insane govt. official.

    No, we just stole all their oil, deposed their elected leaders and firebomb their villages for the last 60 years.

    Yes. As a matter of fact, the president condemned it during his UN speech.

    Really? Cause when I go to the pump I feel more like a victim of theft than a perpetrator.

    Should I point out that Serrano's "Piss" series was all about putting a wide range of things in his tubs of piss and shooting them? That the crucifix was one he found on the street? That he has said it has nothing to do with condemning or criticizing religion? All he has said is it speaks to the cheapening of religious imagery our consumerist culture perpetuates (buoyed by the fact that this was a found, discarded, object). I am not sure I buy that because all of his other pieces from the series were just about visual effects but whatever.

    No, why bother. I need a nap.

    Why does he need to refer to every single incident by name? Please explain.
