Why is it that people who would never expect the rest of the world to share their taste in politics, religion or food keep insisting that everyone share their views on something as subjective as art? The very notion that this is an uppercase "art gallery" is probably wide of the mark to begin with. Many of the people who post images probably don't consider themselves anything more than hobbyists enjoying and sharing their hobby. Poser is (apparently to the regret of some) a democratic medium that allows anyone the freedom to express themselves in a way that pleases them. It pleases some of them to call it art and themselves artists. If you agree, fine. If not, keep hitting the little button until you find something you like. If it's just too painful to watch the visual chaos that such freedom is bound to produce then surely in the whole world wide web, there are sites filtered and sanitized for the protection of more discriminating tastes. As Don Rumsfeld said, "Freedom's untidy." And now, having actually quoted Don Rumsfeld, I'm going to go and slit my wrists.
