Some pretentious wanker filled a bottle of water with melted ice from the Antarctic, placed it on a plinth and had the audacity to call it “art.” More than just plain audacity, he’s valued it at £42,500!

That in itself would be a funny story, but the kicker is that someone apparently drank it in the middle of the exhibition!

While I would never advocate theft, this is just too poetic for words, in fact, there’s the art in this whole situation. It’s beautiful, thought-provoking and it moves me emotionally.
