Some people are so full of themselves that they call any random idea they produce art. Frame a turd, put it on the wall, you'll just have a turd on the wall, not a piece of art. It seems to be a trend lately though, all these self proclaimed 'abstract artists' who even get paid to come up with idiotic ideas. I remember a certain gallery that had a toilet on display, was supposed to be art according to the artist (read: dude who bought toilet at store).

You miss the point of neo-dada's origin, the signed toilet was supposed to be a direct challenge to the ideal of Art. The artist was literally crying with frustration when he learnt that so called critics and experts were admiring his work for it's aesthetic quality. Will post direct quote along with my aphoristic views on Art tomorrow night.
