To clariy >>MY<< position again (which started this whole discussion: I don't oppose Legume, I am not taking any sides. As far as him winning Artist of the month, that is not the issue, I'm sure the people that voted for him are great fans of his artwork. The issue for me, which has been made clear during the process of this entire thread is the motivation behind his artwork. It boils down to either: 1 - Irresponsible disregard for sensitive issues (which if you live and interact in a social community is a skill that is much prefered) 2 - Or bigotry, predjudice, superiority, hate. The other thing I realized in this whole process is that Legume has not and will not admit to being in the second category. Which I didn't expect. In one of my previous posts I gave him the benefit of the doubt of being a just a whacky guy that means no harm. But that hasn't been confirmed either. So what gauge do we use to say something is inappropriate? Network television is usually considered about 5 or 10 years behind the times when it comes to what is socially acceptable (in language and behavior) But I don't think I would ever see his work on TV even in the next 10 years.
