I agree.

So far, I see potential lawsuits from Ford Motor Company, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble (the makers of Mr. Clean), Norman artist Mike Wimmer and the Norman firefighter who posed for the Mr. Clean likeness. And God. Because only God should get to make stuff that makes poo.

Unfortunately, God doesn't have a leg to stand on here. He never patented his inventions.

Oh, man. I missed that one! Those people are some trademark infringing FOOLS!

..."Cloaca" (2000) represented a conclusion of sorts to a century of development in machines that could duplicate human activities. This vast contraption - comprising an In-Sink-Erator, a computer-controlled reactor, peristaltic pumps, an intricate electrical system and glass jars containing acids and micro-organisms - ingested and digested food with the sole purpose of generating feces. It was a brainchild of Wim Delvoye, 36, the enfant terrible of the Belgian art scene, and was realized with the help of gastroenterologists, computer scientists and engineers in an extraordinary feat of artistic collaboration...

...At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp, Belgium, where "Cloaca" was first exhibited in the fall of 2000, the end products were suspended in resin inside large glass jars, which were displayed on stainless steel shelves, with menus hanging beside them documenting what "Cloaca" had been fed. The jars and their accompanying menus sold well at $1,000 apiece.

In New York, the end of "Cloaca" will be enclosed in a glass dome, and its daily output will be scooped up by a gloved attendant and flushed away. In art as in life, value is relative...

Man, I wish I could sell my leavings for $1k a pop.

So my question would be this: Why?
