Whatever it is, a work of art should be recognized as such by anyone. If it is not seen as a work of art then it is not a work of art.

I have seen quite a few works that I would not call art but it was obvious an artist (at least, he calls himself that) put them together. From the pictures shown, I might have been curious but I'm not sure I would have seen it as art.

I think it's art. It is a created illusion. What it's trying to say, I do not know.

@ Clod: good point, but I didn't mean so much in terms of feeling guilty at destroying art, as at finding yourself in the middle of a storm and and apparently responsible for the destruction of a million dollar's worth of anything.

Is this like where Peter Griffin suggests something, jokingly at first, but then gauges your reaction?

Tough Love: Toronto Zoo to Separate ‘Gay’ Penguin Couple

Quote:

It’s a romance suited for the pages of a children’s book. (Oh wait, that sounds familiar.)
Buddy and Pedro are two male African penguins at the Toronto Zoo who seem to have a connection — a very special, loving connection — that has zookeepers wondering if their relationship is more than just a bromance.
(PHOTOS: Same-Sex Overtures Across Species)
According to the Toronto Star, zookeepers have noticed that although Buddy, 20, and Pedro, 10, swim and play with the other penguins in their enclosure by day, they pair off and nest together at night as well as exhibit other telltale mating behaviors, such as touching, making braying sounds and defending their territory.
Does this mean that Buddy and Pedro are gay? Not exactly, as the term doesn’t normally apply to animals. But according to research from the University of California, Berkeley, birds — and other animals, for that matter — are known to form same-sex relationships.

WHY must the zoo separate the gay penguin couple?

Look, asshats, life is hard enough as it is and IF two people (or three) find love it should be honored and respected and left to play out. Separating these two is wrong for the zoo, wrong for Toronto and wrong for Canada!

LET GAY ZOO ANIMALS ALONE!!!

In accordance with the species’ survival plan, the zoo staff will separate Buddy and Pedro so they can fulfill their biological destiny: to create more African penguins.
