Shot: "Today in art news, that nasty bed from your old dorm room just sold for $4.3 million bucks. Made, or unmade, depending on how you want to phrase it, by professional sneerer and British artist Tracey Emin, My Bed was an installation from 1999 that consisted of her own bed, used condoms, blood-stained panties, empty booze bottles, and other "ew" inducing artifacts."

Chaser: "This is why the average person doesn’t take the art world seriously. Stuffed shark corpses, crucifixes dipped in urine, shot-up school buses: these things are not art. They’re not even particularly interesting non-art. And the fact that they’re treated seriously by the doyens of the art world inspires not deep contemplation by the masses but mockery and laughter. The response is justified—and it’s killing the world of fine art."
