More Censorship....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,141308,00.html

snip

NEW YORK — A portrait of President Bush (search), made up of small pictures of chimpanzees, was removed from an art exhibition in Chelsea Market after the market's managers complained about it.

snip again

Although Turco wrote the management the next day, he was forced to remove the 60 artworks on Saturday.

Savido said that the rancor over the painting made him feel "powerless."

"I came to New York to express myself," said Savido, 23, of Pittsburgh. "I would never have expected this censorship to happen to me."

He didn't think it would happen to him. Why the hell not? Does it not happen to anyone who publicly goes against *?

1. That's so dumb

Stifling creativity is extremely dangerous. Is this a sign of things to come?

3. I wonder if they would censor it if it were made up of bloody

Iraqi children.

why try to be funny about your political statement. nothing funny going on in this administration.

maybe make the picture out of mining companies dumping in streams. or homeless children "left behind"

it isn't even necessary to make fun of this guy. how about we just tell the truth?

4. I agree

There would have been many much more effective ways to express his dislike for bushco.
