People or Things that Recieve too much Criticism

I have a lot of respect for Britney because she puts up with the pseudo-punk people who badmouth her all the time. She's above that.

She's talentless trash. She's not above it at all, her and Pink *****fight all the time. Britney even refused to stay in the same hotel as her.

She doesn't have any integrity, as evidenced by her brutally attempted transition away from "innocent girl" to "20s girl".

I don't understand - you have respect for Britney because she 'puts up' with badmouthing. What would not putting up with it involve, exactly? Issuing a statement saying 'Those pseudo-punks have got me on that one - I really am sh!t'?

Any f*cker could put up with bad mouthing by skate-punks for what she earns - hell, I'd do it for a tenner...

And call me old-fashioned, but I kind of like my singers to sing well...

[Verto]

Seneca, you're old fashioned.

I think the US receives too much criticism.

Modern Art is junk, and can never receive TOO much criticism.

Agree with Asher, Microsoft receives too much criticism.

Now to be fair, that might have something to do with turning 20...

It amuses me that when a piece of modern art like Pollock's gets sold for millions of dollars people always say "That's such a load of crap, I mean ... I COULD DO THAT!"

Well - why the hell don't they? If I could produce art that would sell for millions of dollars then I'd stop *****ing and get painting.

You've seen that Simpson's episode?

Anyway, the reason someone like Pollock is famous is because he did it first. 'Anyone' can do paintings like Pollock, I don't doubt they can't, but they are imitating not innovating. Its like Elvis impersonators - I have heard some who are simply amazing yet don't earn the big money - because ask them to compose their own songs or sing their own style and they can't.

Its one of the reasons I hate a lot of pop artists - there are a lot of good bands - who can write, sing and play, but get passed over for glorified impersonators/cover artists whose only skill is to dance and mime - look at half of Take That.

Poland's army - It is not Poland's fault that it is a flat indefensible piece of land situated between the two (historically) most aggressive European countries.

It was largely made up of horsemen. People don't fault the army for being bad at their jobs, but rather for being badly equipped for the times. This is a fair comment. ( Also they got so much damn land because they demanded it from Germany. You can't take it one minute and then blame its size as the reason you can't defend it. )

Britney Spears - It's really annoying that it's become "cool" for pre-teenage and teenage girls to criticize her. Just because her target audience is the 7-12 crowd doesn't mean that girls who want to act all grown-up should criticize her. (Especially the ones that listen to "Avril." At least Britney isn't a trend-hopper.)

The reason many of the 'pre-teenage and teenage girls' are criticizing her because of what a hoity toity little ***** she is. She notoriously blows off her fans in favour of photo opportunities when attending events.

Modern Art - Yea, some stuff is unreasonable, but it annoys me when some people say "I can do that" when they see a work of art like this one (by Jackson Pollock)

That is bull**** and you know it. Name me one person that calls the work of Jackson Pollock ****e that knows anything about art. No one does because it clearly isn't. Jackson Pollock had true skill but is unfortunately lumped in the same category as people who enter beds, canvases entirely painted black and piles of elephant dung into competitions. They're hacks - it doesn't matter if someone is willing to give them an award for being 'groundbreaking' or 'controversial' they are still talentless hacks who have no real skill when it comes to art.

Doesn't innovation deserve recognition?

Yeah I saw that Simpson's episode. Notice that Homer put his money where his mouth was and actually did try to "do it himself". For a while he had fame and his art was valuable. If anything that proves my point... although of course it is only a cartoon.

I agree with you 100% on that one.

You call that art? What's so artistic about it?

Originally posted by Jaguar Warrior
Yea, sure you can. If you made one like it, and then someone went around asking people which one was better, everyone would say the Pollock one was much better. It is simply much more cool-looking than one that a non-artist could make.

Which "people?" I bet you, if you compare two pieces of work by different artists in front of those who has no knowledge of Pollock, most will not find his work artistic or even attractive.

It's just this herd mentality. It's just marketing that hype this godawful crap totally out of proportion.

[Asher]

That painting by Jackson Pollock symbollizes humanity's struggle against Jack Daniels.

The colors reflect the phases of the moon and the black background reminds us of how void our lives are of meaning.

(It's crap!)

I dunno is this "artistic", but it's definetily beatiful.

It's very pop to hate USA. Or racists, when there is ANY chance at someone could be called racist (with good excuse or no) people take it, this has been going on years now, and probably won't stop soon either

Really? I found it... unsettling. It's like lookng at some vague, formless evil.

[Provost Harrison]

It looks like birdsh*t I like modern art done well, I like Dali for example...but dirty beds, no, I don't think so...

I am very critical, and I think that anything should be open to scrutiny. It separates the wheat from the chaff. Criticise away!
