Fuck you, Tom Otterness. I hope you die in pain and alone.

There are some things that cannot be forgiven:

1. just catching up on your McBrooklyn, there Redstone?

this posting is almost two years old.

yes, he did something stupid and cruel two and a half decades ago, he owned up to it and feels remorse. isn't that what you are supposed to do? are there any other things that are more unforgivable than shooting a dog? what about shooting a person? rape? theft from the poor? giving someone a disfiguring injury? voting for John McCain? I mean there are a lot of awful things people do which have a much more serious effect. why this one? because a dog's life means more than a person's?

2. All on the same level there. All unforgivable. You kill an animal and

call it ART? That is NOT a "youthful indiscretion."

3. everyone dies in pain and alone

i do admit that i have far more respect for chris burden (who was HIMSELF shot as part of an art piece -- he didn't take a cheap shot at someone ELSE)

the other dude, never heard of him before you gave him publicity yourself, no offense redstone but on the internet most of the time the best way to deal is to ignore the troll...not that i'm saying otterness is a troll, i have no idea

5. As usual, you make an excellent point.

4. What a shitbag.

I hope any guilt he actually might feel weighs heavily on him for the rest of his days.

6. Awful. nt

7. 25 years ago, he has apologized, and you are still mad?

No statute of limitations?

[Redstone]

8. No. Not for some things. There are some absolutes in this world;

and if you do such an unforgivable thing and call it "art," you should abandon all pretense of calling yourself an "artist" from then on, and get a job working in an office or something - anything out of the public eye, anything that does not rely on public financing to make your living.

Just my opinion.

9. 25 years ago .... or thereabouts

trivial pursuit time, I was working in an office with his sister, an aspiring actress in Los Angeles who was temping to make ends meet. Tom was just becoming famous as an artist in New York, and she was the first to tell me about him. She had a very good artistic eye herself, as I showed her a collection of my photographs, and she was the only one who "got" everything I was trying to do.

Anyways, I know much worse than this in the treatment of animals. Someone I know left a dog chained up on a porch of an abandoned house, and let the animal starve to death because she was too busy to be bothered with the dog..
