art

Next time you see an ad or street sign promoting "artisanal" anything, remember that with a different mix of spaces, or some different kerning, you end up with " art is anal ". I'm not suggesting that it's supposed to be a reference to visual or perfomance art, or someone named Arthur, or whether it's anal retentive or anal expulsive. That's up to you. And the sign maker.

But now, like the little black circle in the upper right hand corner of the movie screen that flashes to signal the change of reel, you will have a hard time NOT seeing "art is anal".

You're welcome.
