Some people have more money than wit - looks more like a flooded field..... ???
 
The 'Modern art' world is full of talentless fools as well - with tools just as eager to part with large sums of money for (s)crap.

Had a walk around the modern art gallery in Glasgow and came out thinking I could do better than some if not all the c**p I, I though some of it was done by wee kids.
 The picture is no better a load of nonsense for pretentious rich people to ogle at and be amazed by.

I have been in that gallery in glasgow!! nearly got chucked out! There was a pile of bricks in the middle of the room and I asked had the builders left them behind. Apparently it was the main atttraction.
