I often make great efforts to not be PC, mostly because pc is nothing more than agreeing with the opinions of people whose opinions I disagree with, who have the power to make your life miserable or worse. The trick is to do it in such a way that the ignorant doody-heads don't know they have had it stuck to them in one way or another. One way is to use the Wayan brothers mode of elocution, verbosity, and abundant circular reasoning accented with a bit of irreverent intolerance peppered with a bit of double entendre and salted with the spice of veiled profanity.
Today's understanding of art is not so much what you have done as it is who you are and how you have done it, and in many cases who you have done it to. If you are one of the approved personages or belong to one of the approved groups of personages-es you can pretty much put cheeze whize in a mason jar and call it art, or any other form of whize you may choose, it doesn't seem to matter, it will still be considered art as long as what you do offends those who the "pc" consider to not be "pc". It is sad to say that a lot that passes as art today is more a representation of the kind of inane insanity and mindless tolerance for the worst mankind has to offer. In short we have allowed the inmates charge of the asylum.
Those things that in times past were dropped into holes in the ground, thrown into rivers, or over the walls of enemy castles are now given places of honor and displayed prominently for all to see and admire---they better admire them or else....It is in this way we save the environment in that we no longer flush away down the sewar the stuff we now think of as art; thus saving lots of water.
