    I agree, it’s very absurd, and that’s part of the point. It’s also obvious too that someone gives a shit since they’re willing to shell out millions of dollars for it. And as far as taping another piece of fruit to the wall, it unlikely to do well because with modern and conceptual art, it’s all about who came up with the idea first.
