#1 Unbelievable. This "guerrilla art" is brought to you by the same mindset that brought us defecating in the streets of S.F. and labelled as "street theatre". Also known as Howard Dean supporters.

#2 Let's catapult his body into the side of a building. We can call the resulting tomato stain "art".

#3 Most of the most famous works of "gorilla" art involve a hairy primate flinging his or her feces against the wall of their habitat....coincidence I don't think so.

#4 Hm. I always assumed that guerilla art is done specifically to offend. I suggest that some other artist shove one end of a hot poker up his ass, glue the other end to the pavement, and call it an "installation piece." Title: "An Argument on the Social Limits of Proletariat Critique of Performance Art".

We can sell the shrieking and poker-buggered guerilla artist, pardon me, the shrieking and poker-buggered work of guerilla art to some Manhattanite mental defective who still doesn't get that Andy Warhol was less an artist than he was a successful practical joke, and probably for enough money to finance a Republican take-over of New York.

#6 Sorry. In my defense, however, you got the mild version. It's possible I've been "farking" too much lately.

#7 ColoradoConservative: where does the Dean crack come from? Out of the various anti-war voices, his was one of the saner ones - no tinfoil-hat theories, just saying he thought it wouldn't be in US interests. The public defecators I despise because they openly decry policies which serve the best interests of the US.

Er, I also despise them because they're defecating in public, of course.

#8 Understand your point Sade, but Dean IS the candidate of the far left...he is beloved by those of that mindset because his values come closest to theirs...he isn't in perfect sync with the street shitters, but then he couldn't be and hope to get the nomination.
