Boldly go.
 
 
					
				Yeah. But only in context.

				It's as much as art as a bed is.
Oh, wait.
Money, power, sex... and elephants.

				Well... guys can pee in it? :oscar:
 
 
					
				...It looks like a urinal mixed with a crotch-cup.
 
 
					
				It's art, but it's not very good

				I think it's the kind of art that people pretentiously call art and then when they get refuted by others they give long-winded pretentious explanations about how art is something something but by then I've fallen asleep.
Then they throw their beret on the ground in frustration and go to the coffee house to vent in the form of beatnik poetry and a cop picks me up because I fell asleep on the street for the third time and he says if it happens again he's going to put me in holding for a day and give me a ticket.
 
 
					
				It is art because it questioned art. It was placed in the gallery (I forget the exact one) as a statement on the status of art and questioned what art could be, and what could be art.
If it is in the museum alongside other artworks in 1917 then it is a piece of art. Not aesthetically pleasing but mentally stimulating (like a lot of art from the last century).
There's lots of stuff about it.

				How the hell do you piss in that?
 
 
					
				What do you do like, stick your tool into that little tube? Is this urinal made for like, gnomes? Or little people?
 
 
					
				In my opinion, that really can't be called true art...
