I don't considered myself to be an artist and I am not aware of any guidelines commonly accepted for judging whether something is art or not. But if I had to choose on the basis of my sense of beauty alone between, say, watching a flick about some "assassin" or "psycho" running around murdering people by surprise and watching a very beautiful woman take a shit, I believe I would have to go with the latter. Are bodily functions Obscene? I really don't think obscenity is the issue here. Was Hannibal Lecter obscene when he sauteed a piece of Krendler's brain in butter and herbs and fed him a piece of his own body (and later some kid ate some too)? And what about cutting off your face and feeding it to your dogs? Art? Perhaps the department of justice needs to raid Hollywood and Dino De Laurentiis Company for producing such "filth". Maybe art and beauty are both within the eyes and ears of the beholders. I say to each his own, leave scat porn alone.
