For example, Damien Hirst's butchered cows and calves, and sharks in tanks with meaningless and pretentious titles. Ghastly! These things are bound to elicit strong reactions from people, that's why the artist creates them in the first place. Shock value.
I do believe that anyone, artist or not is entitled to voice an opinion about something which he/she finds offensive or indeed revolting without being told that his/her opinion or reaction is likewise revolting.

@philkneenphotography. I'm sorry if I upset you. However, a personal opinion is still valid regardless of whether one is an artist or not. And as for 'if you don't like it, don't look', normally I'd agree with you, but unfortunately since WordPress.com changed things around, the Freshly Pressed page arrives on my screen when I go to log in and when I go to look at my stats, etc. Nothing I can do about that.

By complaining you've made my image even more popular - result!

I sound bitchy above and I apologize. :( It's good to see you posting here again. :)

Here's something interesting. User interface guru Jakob Nielsen completed an eye-tracking study that indicates how users consume Web pages. He said the eye-tracking study also surfaced a counter-intuitive finding–people who look like models (perfect human specimens according to popular culture) are less likely to draw attention than ‘normal’ people. http://www.useit.com/eyetracking/ That makes me wonder if wonder if odd looking people don't draw the most attention of all.

I neither love nor loathe it. It raises zero emotion in me. As for why it was selected - I don't do FP, so I don't know what's there, unless someone points to a post like you did and I check it out.

It's for discussing things that are off topic. This is what I'm intending - to discuss this. Some will love it, I loathe it. I think it should never have been included in FP. As jessie says, it's like an S&M image and I can't see how anything like that could have got FPd in the first place.

{{{Head spinning }}} I don't get it. If you want to contact Staff about what's on Freshly Pressed you know what the email address is. So why promote a post with an image you don't like here in the Off-Topic Forum. But by posting the link here you are guaranteeing traffic will be sent to that post. Was your intent? I just don't get it. :(
