Hmmmmmmmm. I located the pic (or pics, as it were) in question, and can't for the life of me see what all the hubub is about. It's a plane flying by the Eiffel tower, it's a plane flying by the Statue of Liberty, both have provocative titles, both have no explanation of their content, suggesting that just maybe the artist is inviting the viewer to form their own conclusions. A bit trite and a bit gimmicky, as art goes, but it seems to be effective.
As for the folks who are pissing and moaning about how "offensive" this piece is, I can't help but wonder if you've ever been to a gallery out there in the real world...it ain't all Thomas Kincaid, kiddies. To even suggest censoring ANY art is the beginning of the slippery slope; the end of it is when all of the creative content in this nation is reduced to the intellectual level of a "Family Circus" comic strip in the Sunday paper.
