A 76-year-old performance artist was arrested after attacking Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" _ a porcelain urinal _ with a hammer, police said.

The suspect, a Provence resident whose identity was not released, already vandalized the work in 1993 _ urinating into the piece when it was on display in Nimes, in southern France, police said.

If they would have used a shower, he would have stayed far far away from it.

A 2004 poll of 500 arts figures ranked "Fountain" as the most influential work of modern art

At least Duchamp had it right when he "created" his urinal. For 10 cents, I'd piss on every piece of "art" these kennedys produce. Then I'd squat on the vapid elitists who sit around stroking their chins and pretending that these pieces of crap actually mean something.

I like low-brow art.


Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, and Bloom County were my favorites.





They're all gone now

Hey! Isn't your AV the little guy that used to hang around with Opus in Bloom County?
