It’s true. But they did it for the art, so that’s okay.

The weirdest thing about this is the fact that blogs have been discussing this story for months, yet I’ve never heard about it. The internet is indeed a big place. Lots of tubes for us to get lost in.

Jim: Wow. When I saw the post title, I figured you had to be exaggerating, or speaking figuratively, but no… this photographic artist, to get the right effect of her exhibit of crying, unhappy children, literally takes away lollipops from them.
