The similarity to the crucified Jesus was obvious. It seems to me, that someone in the name of arts and - of course - publicity does not know the limits taught by shame, decency and respect for religious feelings of others. I cannot understand the reasons for the museum's directorium to display such an offensive - not at all artistic- nonsense.

It really does look like an Apple Store, and maybe that is the fact why people dig this so much. Gotta love the Mac :P Sam, that is so true.
