Hornbys article is about an artist who made a piece primarily for the purpose of upsetting the viewers. The story talks about Dave who is a viewer of the work "Nipple Jesus." At first he likes the work but then once he realizes what it really is, he seems upset about it. This makes me think about the concept of warning signs to exhibits. If the work is controversial, then a warning sign is completely neccessary. Seeing a warning sign also might cause you to examine the work more closely could result in you being more offended by something than you normally would because you were prompted. I still feel that there should not be any censorship on work. Somethings can be extremely offensive to some but they just should avoid the work then.
