Bus Stop Art

Here's the latest example of Arts Council England (ACE) wasting taxpayers' money: Bus-Tops. It's also another example of the dire tripe being foisted on us for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. It cost £500,000 to install this inartistic tosh on the top of 30 bus stop shelters in 20 London boroughs! Matthew Morris of BBC London News took a bus ride to try to spot some of them, without much success (title link). BBC News' Jenny Minard took a sycophantic view of the nonsense (CLICK). This is also a good example of how the BBC wastes public money. Why send two journalists to cover the same story? ACE invites the public to submit its own art to the Bus-Tops website (CLICK). Don't all rush at once with your obscenities.
