Wow, the art on here get's worse and worse.

Now if I take a photo of a copy machine, printed it on said copy machine, and then take a photo of a copy machine with with photo of the copy machine next to it I could end up in the Visual Art section and everyone could rave about how bold a photo of a copy machine is.

Seriously, get a clue as to what are is quality and what art is just plain junk.

Why ARE you spending so much time on Layman? I can't see what's so interesting and what hasn't been done a million-and-one times before without much variation.
