There are irreverent and blasphemous artists. There always have been. Their work would be largely unknown if it were not for all the outrage, which is better than free advertising for them. Outrage is far more powerful than advertising.
I’m old enough to remember Piss Christ, a photograph published in 1987. Very few people would have noticed it, and today no one would remember it, except for all the outspoken Catholics who exposed it to millions of viewers. Pardon me for mentioning it as well, but I think it is a good case study in how not to fight bad art.
It is better to let it die of neglect than to denounce it shouting from the rooftops.
I’ve already forgotten that TV show you were talking about.
