NEW ART SCANDAL

A GROUP OF ARTISTS BUILDS WITH PUBLIC MONEY A  32 SQUARE
METER BILLBOARD WITH THE WORD  "FOOD"  BATHED  IN  GOLD
IN THE  WORLD'SPOOREST COUNTRY, THE REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI.

In the middle of a desert plain of Burundi, a 10 meter  high  pole holds
up a 4 by 8 meter billboard with the word food in letters of
gold-plated steel.  The costs of production of the piece  have  exceeded
150 thousand  euros.   The  realization  of  their  works,  is  financed
exclusively with public funds obtained through grants and  scholarships.

This group of artists called wwwwww among which  is a  Spanish  artist,
has remained unknown since its birth in 2003.  The always  controversial
wwwwww exceeds the limits of the politicaly correct as they did  in 2004
making a totem of Pope  Benedict  XVI with  excrements  produced  by its
components.  In August 2007 they provided a  group  of drug  addicts the
necessary heroin consumption for three months and in 2008  they  decided
to simultaneously induce vomiting at several  venues  in  New  York Moma
museum , these and other pieces have made wwwwww one of  the  most risky
and controversial artistic groups in the  last  years. With  this last
piece performed  on  the 8th  of  January  of  2011,  wwwwww  once again
spreads controversy among its most faithfull  detractors.

Is  it lawful to use political and social tools in favor of a work of
art  like this?  Are  the  works  of wwwwwww  really  pieces  of art?
