Pumeco, items that involve celebrities sell for silly amounts of money, and it has little bearing on the artistic value of the item. Britney Spears' spat out some chewing gum, and it sold at auction for $14,000.

Shane isn't completely correct. There's some artistic merit to the photo -- in that it was taken by someone who understands photography.  It's not just someone's iPhone selfie on Instagram. Of course, his deconstruction of the meaning of the photo is compelling precisely because the elements he points out were purposeful and intentional. However, I find it hard to disagree with his main point that the true purpose of the photo is to turn its viewers on. And beyond that, there's very little there. It's aesthetically more pleasing than your typical internet porn, but in the end, that's all it's got. It's just a big cliche. Cliche's aren't art. They're a lazy way to bypass the use of the frontal lobes by doing something that's been done over and over and over again already.

Again, unless you really believe that whole Facebook philosophy, just because you like something doesn't make it good.
