Thoughts on Hornby

Hornby’s article beat Yoko Ono’s for best introduction and best title right away, it seems like a narrative and seems like I’m about to be enthralled with what this writer has to say. It definitely help that he includes the word “fuck” in the first paragraph, anyone who does that has to have something interesting to say. I enjoyed his responses to his wife, being clever and making a good point at the same time. I also liked his point that real cut up cows were better than just pictures of cows, and I agree. The reveal that the Jesus was made out of breasts was surprising and clever also. The narrator’s joy of the Jesus to the disgust also reminded me of the in-class video of the guy who made violent or dark humor art. Dave’s initial reaction to Martha’s family also made me laugh pretty hard and was entertaining. Overall, the changing view of Dave and the general entertainment of the piece made for an interesting read.

The only thing I can think of that I didn’t like was disliking Dave’s initial reaction to the art, since America does have the freedom of speech, and how his wife reacted towards him, getting mad at him.
