When the editorial board understands satire, then perhaps they can make such bs claims. But quite clearly, they do not understand satire. I would give them a suggested reading list to acquaint themselves with true satire, but alas, the books have no pictures.

And attacking his sartorial style? Surely this guy provides one with enough to render more intelligent criticism.

Saying Mapplethorpe's photography has more validity as art than this guy's is kind of like saying that piece of porn appealed to my higher senses more than that piece of porn. Images/eye of the beholder.

@Looobs: Annie Hall??? That whole sentence was overrated. Christ, you need to get out more. Perhaps read some books or something. But Annie Hall???? Maybe if you dream of being a proto-hipster living in NY last century. New York, (this obviously needs repeating here) is NOT the center of the universe.
