Three ears in the name of art

Not to sure what to make of this :confused:

An Australian performer who has had an ear grafted onto his forearm in the name of art has sparked controversy.

Cyprus-born Stelios Arcadiou, known as Stelarc, says his extra ear, made of human cartilage, is an augmentation of the body's form.

I would have to call him names very quietly as he has more chance of hearing me.

Perhaps a male member on his head would have been more fitting ?

Art has been so preverted lately.

He views this as art but I personally find it offensive
- Sasha Gardner, who was born with one ear missing

I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. Petulant and comical, anyone?

I didnt get that comment either.

Theres nothing stopping her getting an ear grafted on if she wants one and he's not using it to insult anyone..

She should get one grafted onto the side of her head.

<3 Stelarc. I did an interview with him for a net radio station in 2001.

lol - what a fool.

it seems that modern art these days is simply a competition to look the stupidest.
