My point

My point stands very well w/o seeing the work. Thousands of artists are cashing in on a national tragedy. There are others cashing in on the new patriotism borne of the tragedy.

As to the "sculpture", it's so grobby and coarse how could anyone be offended by the nudity? I imagine the "artist" had enough trouble with the blobs called a figure and sure didn't want to try to "sculpt" fabric. This was not the Peita'.

It's the easiest thing in the world to evoke an emotional response...it's an animal thing. Depict a recent tragic event and you've got a response. In movies they can place a child in danger and get an easy emotional response. Cheap trick-bad form.
