I would seriously worry if judgement of whether an artist is in the right or the wrong was vested in anyone except the artist him/herself. So long as the output is within the law and is staged appropriately (like the watershed on TV) then surely all is well.

And yes, we do have the right to piss people off, and we accept the consequences of doing so. But the consequences have got to be within boundaries of decent society too.....rioting ain't.

And the fault in this case lies not with the artist, but with those charged with seeing that the people she pissed off behave decently.

And kendall, your views are usually welcomed as meaningful, but your consistent take on this one is shite.
