| it disturbs me. its not the first I've seen like it, either. I'm starting to think that this website is more about blowing off steam than sharing art for good cause, at least for some people... |

There's a lot of art around meant to disturb, shock, catch people off guard, amuse, bother, etc. I don't know if any of those things are justification for removing an image or taking away someone's freedom to express his or herself. Did you catch his title and caption? There might be more to the image than what it seems.
I've seen a massive amount of pictures on here. This is not alone, but it is in a small minority. In any case, sometimes blowing off steam and sharing art for a good cause can go hand in hand. We're humans with silly and wonderful and awful human thoughts. This site is a collection of them as vastly different as they may be from us or each other, a "global snapshot".
I can't say for sure, though. What do you think?

i recond ur right.. freedom to express is what art is known for.. a collection of individuals thoughts and messages. i do usually read the titles and their descriptions along with their 'about themselves', if it doesnt explain much or at least support a sort of process to a piece especially something that resembles something you can find in public restroom... then i suppose it would be quite hard to convince me that its something tasteful. although.. i wont say that isnt art, i mean two years in those lecture halls i have come to terms in understanding that each individual has their personal mark or form of imprints on how they see things..
but anyways.. back on this subject, i usually find this sort of creativity amusing, but sometimes when it is overdone it just doesnt seem fun to look at anymore. if only we could read the minds of the person... haha  would make the eliminating process way easier.. now if OMM can some how come up with some magic mind reading device.. now that would be superb muahaha |
