Lehman Bros' 'Art'

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when big companies start wasting money on rubbish masquerading as art, it's time to sell your shares and get the hell out. Take this tripe as an example: Gary Hume's Madonna, which is expected to fetch £80,000-£120,000 at a Christie's auction in London on 29 September. Any firm that squanders money on vastly overpriced donkey's manure like this has obviously reached its level of incompetence. Yes, folks, it's in Lehman Brothers' European collection. A similar sale will take place in New York on 25 September. Let's hope the creditors gain a few pence out of these sales.

How about all the taxpayers' money wasted on Chris Ofili's tripe, purchased at our expense, oddly enough, by the Museum upon which Mr Ofili sits as a Trustee.

Hi, Judith

Yes, all that elephant dung purchased by Tate Passé. I quite agree. But the public seem to like three-ringed circuses, and Tate keeps dragging 'em in. Groan!
