Do you have a straight news story on this? The article you posted seems to be more in the line of inflammatory opinion, with a couple of facts thrown in.

Thanks.

Knowing american "public morality standards", the art show is probably 19th century nude picassos.

Thanks for posting that. It makes me think I should move back to San Francisco.

Art takes many forms and a society needs to have art. Unless I have seen information with more details, I cannot judge by this article if this is anything to complain about. Seems as if someone just decided to nitpick to write a story.

I agree.

Well, color me impressed. Faux didnt hold off until the last line to admit this:
...most of the [stimulus] money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession.
It's right up there in the second paragraph, above the fold!

What's the matter over there?

Right & if this was about some religious exhibit there'd be no squabbling now would there? Hypocrites.

No, I'm not ticked off. I couldn't care less. If they spend 50k on a production, and nobody shows up to see it, then I'd be ticked off. As far as content goes, whatever floats your boat.
