You are confusing monetary value with artistic value. Imagine that. You are a consumer at it finest. MTV says its cool, so it must be. The rest of the herd like it, so it must be good. Moooo
Are you trying to tell me that just because something has monetary value it has artistic value?
Why the NEA?
Because if the world let people like you choose what is art, we would be stuck with the Simpsons and Taz tattoos.

Hey mohammed, yes, I am telling you that artistic value and monetary value are intertwined.
Art is very subjective, and money is a facilitator of the value we place on it.
If you are going to argue, then please present some evidence to back up your argument. Please do not let us know how you feel about the Simpsons, Taz cartoons, etc.
When you allow your emotions to dominate your argument, it becomes meaningless.
Nobody gives a rats ass what you think or feel.
Since art is subjective, then why doesn't the NEA give money to Brittney Spears to make records?
Simple, they do not have to, because society values what she produces.
It is narrow minded folks such as yourself that want society to bear the cost for what YOU value.
Your view is very selfish.
Would such things like doggy-shit sculptures and Palestinian poetry exist without the government?
NO, because greater society does not place any value in such things.
If you value such things, then you should pay the cost.
