Sorry - have tried again.

He has contributed nothing except a lesson in cruelty and disregard for life. How is that art? Could he create anything as beautiful as one of those butterflies wings? How does this differ from a very bad wildlife park? Or is that art as well? Disgusting human being.

Oh dear - I know that butterflies do not live long in the wild anyway, but this is arrogance on an extreme scale - who does he think he is? I suppose he will simply be enjoying the general outrage - what a sick human being.

My sentiments entirely.

That is NOT art. My sentiments are unprintable.

I could say that a lot of genius' ( genii?) are a bit unhinged, but I've never been able to see him as a genius.

Loathsome creature. I cannot think of him as being a human being. I'm so angry, I feel physically sick.

Such a pity that we can't stuff him and put him on display behind glass.

I never got how he and most of the rest became the darlings of the British art scene. DD and I went to an exhibition at the Saatchi and the 'shark in formaldehyde' was there, it was all ropey and the liquid it was in looked as if it needed replacing ... I shudder just thinking about it. I'm enjoying envisaging Soop's fantasy. I did have a chuckle at work recently one of our high flying directors took her new, much (much!) younger lover from 'Souf' London, to the TE neon exhibition in Margate to impress him, and he declared it cr*p and walked out . I can't believe there's a neon masterpiece reading something like 'I love you' in No 10.

I have only seen his bisected pig. it was interesting in terms of anatomy, but not I think artistically. Oh and the other one in the same exhib. A big case full of pills. Well better than the pig. Emperors new clothes.
