A lasting image. I thought at the time that
Serrano should have marketed little
"Glass o' Pee" Crucifixes for auto
dashboards, and sold them at 7-11 stores.

I was a Christian in the 80s but loved piss
Christ. Then and now Christianity gets far
too hung up on the God part of Jesus at the
expense of the man. Piss Christ always seemed
to be an image redressing that balance.

greetings from Bolivia. Jennifer and I bribed
our way into the San Pedro Prison in La Paz
and took a tour of the inside from a few of
the prisoners. In addition to paying off the
guards, some of our money went to The Seven
Deadly Sins Foundation, which helps to build
up and repair the prison...supposedly. Wish
you were here with us. xoxoxo

When you hate him, Helms, for what he
believed, you become exactly as bad as he
was.

Yes, exactly. Or at least that is my opinion.

Spewing hate as an elected public servant
& then enacting your disgusting
prejudices through opposition to AIDS
research & civil rights does not equal
bitching about an asshole on flickr.
Contemptible people deserve contempt.

"culture wars" indeed. flickr is a
swelling of such a thing as it exists today
in our digitally image-ubiquitous time......
like when a portrait of my dad when he was a
teen gets favourited by someone who only
faves pics of other men- alone, in groups,
nude, with erections, etc..... when an old
found pic of a young boy on a bed gets faved
by someone who faves pics of only young boys.
etc. it upsets me but is it the price of
"freedom of expression".... to
interpret how you will, to
"appropriate" according to your own
desires.....??????? helms was indeed an ass
imo, esp. for trying to ban some of
mapplethorpes photos/close down his show/sue
museum etc... but actually passed said photos
around the congress for THEM to see. idiotic.

or the content – is a beautiful sublime one.

One of my favorite poems:
www.slate.com/id/74144/
And this Christian (and North Carolinian)
approves of "Piss Christ" and,
well, "disapproves" isn't quite the
right word to express my loathing of Jesse
Helms.

Pity him for his foolishness, for the
wasteland that was his life. But don't waste
your time hating him. If you hate him, he
wins.
He was, after all, a politician; and all
politicians (ALL of them, not just the ones
you disagree with; the ones who echo your
beliefs and your prejudices too) are beneath
contempt.
