Actually Mr. B's response (with dphoadley's belief system applied) would be "because I like it and I think it is." However, even if that didn't define it as 'art' that doesn't mean it's pornography. Essentially what is being said is that it's pornography because 'me' says it is. Furthermore the response to Mr. A is in error as well for the same reason. Being a commercial product doesn't equate to being pornography. Mr. C's response begs the question, is a knowledge of artistic terminology and concepts required for something to be art? What, then, of those that are naturally gifted at expressing themselves visually who don't have the formal training and can't name the concepts (even though others who are educated can see those concepts applied well in their work)?
Before they made me they broke the mold!
