$15million for a fucked up sculpture?

One would think that this gayer than life sculpture is simply splashing some milk around, a popular past time in rural Japan (maybe). But one would be wrong. Try again.
Oh yes, it’s actually an unbelieving amount of jizz that is emerging from his little boy toy. Even more unbelievable perhaps, is the price tag of $15 million at a recent Sotherbys auction. Is that supposed to be some hideously unfunny shit Japanese joke (because there are a lot of those, you know)? Nope. Honest to god. Why does a sculpture of a boy spanking his monkey and producing a veritable whirlwind of cum fetch such a hefty price? Simple, it’s made by Takashi Murakami, a shit modern artist who happens to be the pride and joy of KaiKai. Shame, because their other artists like Chiho Aoshima are really rather superb, as we posted a while back.
And people seriously wonder why the world is going to shit when dickheads throw away money for this kind of crap? I wonder how many children could have been bought out of asian prostitution rings with that kind of cash? Fuck, art really pisses me off sometimes.
