sick to my stomach.

isn't this almost similar to legally producing and selling fake chanels anything and fake patek phillipe watches just so that "not so well-off" people can buy and enjoy them???? what in the world??? gahhhhh! such an atrocity!!!

bringing art to the "heartlanders" ??????
in the very first fucking place, this is exactly WHY the so-called "heartlanders" they are referring to here, will NEVER learn what art is all about! never! in this country that i call my home!

why appreciate the real thing in this or that internationally-acclaimed museum, when you can get a replica and hang in your "humble heartland flat". why bother supporting talented current artists whose art pieces costs 4-digits and above, when you can get a FAKE van gogh for just lesser than $300 singapore dollars?????

shit!
fuck!
i'm sorry but, i'm beyond sick to my guts.

fyi, this is in today's straits times papers, life section.

rushing off for an urgent meeting, but just had to spend a few minutes ranting my brains out here.

ciao. bad day. bad day!
