- StigNordas, on 09/16/2008, -0/+12I hope the artist is going to do something benevolent with the cash, like opening a petting zoo.

- Haoie, on 09/16/2008, -0/+7Supposedly, the more you pay for art, the more recognition it gets.
- verbaldouching, on 09/16/2008, -0/+7At least this is more art than what a Mime does. Mime's suck.
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+7Anyone want to buy my fece art. I basically eat a lot of tacos and splat on a canvas. Let's start the bidding at 1 million of dollars....
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+6The last time something dead made this much money here in the states, was when Heth Ledger starred in The Dark Knight.
- Lindz2000, on 09/17/2008, -0/+6How very refreshing to see what the mega-rich (beneficiaries of Bush tax cuts, and soon McCain's if elected) spend their hard earned money on, while many can't afford to keep up their house mortgage repayments.
Art? Debatable. Justice? Certainly NOT. - AmyVernon, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6No art is better than dead animal art.
- tbhurst, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6I love it! What a great idea for a post - kind of turns progress on its head.
- NewsFeed, on 09/16/2008, -0/+5Damn.. the cows look pimp.. wonder what each one of these pieces are selling for individually..
- alextryie, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4NOM NOM NOM.
- waxenpi, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4everyone's perception of art is different. since when was there a "world view" on anything?
- ikesauto, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4I was about to buy it. I was only 70 mill short.
- darkchild82, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4Stupid modern art. Whatever happened to actual talent in art?
- pentupentropy, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4Think of the good this money could have done if it were spent on weed instead.
- ritubpant, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3the value of everything goes up when you die.....
- ssquared22, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3To each his own. If I had this kind of money, having a stuffed shark wouldn't even be in my top 100 priorities.
- BurningSand, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1The auction was called ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’--sounds like something a serial killer would say...
