Some people are easily disturbed by the ambiguities of life and art, and this manufactured controversy (along with the Jesse Jackson diss of Obama) is textbook.

For those who demand such literal, unambiguous sorts of connect the dots art, will you please just pull the curtain on the stage now?

Some of us prefer our art, life, and controversies with a bit more meat on the bone.

That drive-by at the UN, when Picasso's 'Guernica' was covered during the Iraq war invasion debate? Now that was a political art controversy worth screaming about.

This? Pfffft.
