Context is All

A collection of photographs of gay men? That's truly art and worthy of a major museum exhibit... Unless, that is, the artist is a woman. And the men are Muslims. In Mohammed masks. And the museum is in the Netherlands. In that case, it's one cancelled exhibit and one artist literally on the run for her life.

Welcome to Europe 2008.

Well, this artist was at least brave enough to make this exhibition, rather than the other wussy modern artists. But the fact that she has to go into hiding, that people are allowed to threaten her like this, is truly terrible.

Plus, your first sentence broke my new sarcasm detector. I want reimbursement!
