"Anyway aren't these kind of shocking things rather child like and the very opposite of what art stands for?"
You have a very specific view of what art is, Statikk. Art stands for whatever the artist intended it to stand for. If you think it's childish to put a condom on the Virgin Mary, then great. I'd have to agree with you there. But I'm sure sure there are people out there who appreciate it, and their opinion is just as valid as yours.
"Yes those things are art, but I don't think that they should be publicly exhibited as they are offensive and verging on racism"
Offensive? Verging on racism? I think you just narrowed all art down to nothing and... nothing.
I got an idea: How about you turn on your TV (if you have one) and watch it for about two minutes. The 1950's have passed, buttercup. Get over it. EVERYTHING is offensive to someone.
