Jeff Koons of the Day:

I wish this guy would go away. What is this? An easter Egg. How is this Important. I can see it's relevance as Art for conversation's sake, but not it's importance nor it's value as an historical object which I am sure it will be. Is it the vast bank account or an entitled position that qualifies one to fool the public into believing that anything Jeff Koons has to say's is Art and is actually worth Millions of Dollars. It only leads the way for many young aspiring artist's swimming in a large pool of greedy over-achiever's to see that the only way to the center of the Art Universe is through Lies and Manipulation. Not to mention poor taste.
