Shock and Horror

I can’t say that I was offended or shocked by any of the ways the artists in the show expressed their art.  Maybe this is because growing up in a time where nothing really shocks you and you have seen everything nothing really throws you for a loop.  Being raised on Friday the thirteenth, nightmare on elm street, Texas chainsaw massacre, and the exorcist I can’t really say that anything shocks me anymore.  I just read an article about two teachers in south Los Angeles being accused of child molestation on second grade students.  They are accused of inappropriate touching as well as feeding their semen to the children in what they called a “taste game”.  Believe it or not I was not shocked by this report, this is the reaction that you get from an individual that realizes that the world is not as sugar coated as people would like it to be or make it appear.  I say we are capable of doing extra ordinary things at both ends of the spectrum the ends being positive and negative.  I apologize if this makes me seem insensitive and callous but I believe that I am a realist and that’s what I thought about these artists work.  I thought the zebra impaling the, what seemed very happy, woman was funny.  Peace.
