But if the only alternative to hallmark card nature scenes that 
manages to elbow it's way to the public's attention is art who's main 
purpose is to outrage, they'll certainly not be that interested in 
seeking out something they may find more complelling.
Kinda like the difference between Michael Bolton and Madonna. It's 
barely music at all, yet there is a universe of music out there, 
including compelling leading edge stuff. How would you know?
The older I get, I'm of the mind that artists intent on being 
"offensive" (which is anything but these days, boring in fact) are 
really just trying to manipulate pop culture into giving them their 15 
minutes.
