Me and Mrs MK took a trip into the big smoke today and decided we'd pop into the Tate Modern for a browse.
Now I have never seen such a collection of utter worthless toss in my entire life - pictures (if you can call it that) that a 5 year old could have done with a sugar rush and let loose at the paint box.
Photographs of people doing things to their bodies that would make your eyes water. A whole room showing films of;
1) A naked boxer in a mask punching himself.
2) A woman rubbing tomato sauce over her hairy parts.
3) A man (I think) rubbing what I think was porridge over his body.
4) A man trying to force his own soldier up his own "alleyway".
Now I don't believe I'm a heathen - I like a good book and alternative music but I really cannot see the worth in 99.9% of the stuff in the Tate Modern.
So my question is, should the Tate Modern burn down tomorrow with all of this "art" in it (obviously with every human being safely ensconced in a nearby pub supping G&T's) would the world really be a sadder place?
