Personally I have little appreciation for art, so it baffles me that people would pay such exorbitant sums of money for such pieces; the comment about auctiongoers "applauding money" is rather telling.
I am also reminded of the recent discovery that some painting was found to actually have been the work of some famous painter, and its price instantly increased by orders of magnitude; the painting, meanwhile, remained unchanged.
And then there's the usual sickening fact that there are such wealthy people in the world while others starve...
But look at me pissing on the parade; it was interesting.
