Art inspired by Internet porn is very 2011, and the Lower East Side's Windows Gallery on Orchard Street is displaying just that, titled simply, "Porno Paintings." P.S.42 is right nearby and so the New York Post managed to get a few parents to complain. "I don't want to have to be answering questions in reference to those dirty paintings," said one mom, presumably ignoring the other detritus that remains on the much-improved, but still occasionally grimy LES. The NYPD has no official complaints and the gallery owner Dino Eli says, "Porn is the norm," but even city parents can sound like squares: "When little kids see that, they will ask questions," said one. Then comes the parenting, no? [NYP]

Free Art! Time for Everyone whose not a cry baby to start fighting back and speaking up against all these Mormon, christian, authoritative, moral, my shit don't stink Muslim religious nut bags who want to tell everyone what to hear, see, think and do. Its always the same shit "oh but what about the children". psh, tired of it, your kid learns enough about sex, drugs, (and Oh how we love our Violence in this country) on the Disney channel and cartoon network that you sit your littler pooper in front of 10 hours a day, that the rest of us should have to put up with this over sensitive BS that has been taking over the airwaves, our country and our lives.
