NOW ON: RELIGIOUS OFFENSES FESTIVAL II - GET OFFENDED FOR FREE!

"Piss Christ is a controversial photograph by the artist Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. Some have suggested that the glass may also contain the artist's blood."
"Piss Christ is often used as a proxy for the idea of freedom of speech, or as in this case, freedom of expression."
"Piss Christ is also said to highlight the humanity of Jesus."

From The Life of Brian (@Monty Python), the immortal hymn Always Look On The Bright Side of Life:

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

The Last Supper by Renée Cox, NYC, 2001 "Artist Renée Cox was thrust into the news Friday when the New York Times ran a front-page story on the ire one of her photographic works raised in New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He called the work (in which the artist is nude, standing in place of Jesus in a rendition of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper") "disgusting," "outrageous" and "anti-Catholic" and called for a decency panel to keep such work out of museums that receive public money. Cox said, "Get over it".

Desde cedo somos levados pela sociedade castradora em que vivemos a não ficar excitados quando vemos um homem bem parecido, de 30 e tal anos, corpo definido, nu, em agonia, preso a uma cruz. Foi preciso vê-lo aqui depois de um golden shower para eu reaprender certos sentimentos que andava involuntariamente a reprimir durante tantos anos.
