First of all, I'd like to introduce you to a little object that currently sits right near one of the sinks in one of the bathrooms in my home:

It also has a liquid soap spout on the top, has goldish liquid, and has the shape and feel of a liquid soap container. Except it isn't a liquid soap container.
Did you see it? It says "Acne Cleanser" on the front.
WHY?! WHY do makers of acne cleanser label it in such a fashion that it can be easily mistaken and used for hand soap?! It's INSANITY. I literally have used this soap three times without realizing it. I have to then go and re-wash with regular soap on the other side of the sink.
Now whose fault is this? The makers of the soap container? The person who bought this acne cleanser and then put it directly in a hand soap place? Or me for using something that looked, felt, and acted like soap (until, of course, I bent down and read it [remember, 6'3 height].
I say the makers of the soap. It's like putting mustard in a red bottle, a true "what were you THINKING?" moment.

Now that the smalltime section of the post is over, let's go to the main part.
I just watched the WALL-E movie over the weekend. It has seriously become my favorite movie of all time because of its love, its futuristic-ness, it's robots and technology, and its love for the simple and the small things in life. People just looking at the stars and being amazed at them.
(By the way, 2nd place goes to Transformers 2007, 3rd to Back to the Future, the 2nd movie).
Back to the topic on hand, the movie was awesome. Now, there are spoilers below for WALL-E. If you do not want to see spoilers, there's nothing left here for you to see. Go watch WALL-E and then come back

OK, good, we got rid of those people.
Now, you know how at the end of the movie, WALL-E is basically just about destroyed--and when he's rebuilt, he loses his memory? And then after that, EVE held his hand in sad desperation, "robo-kissed" him, which brought him back to his old self?
I was freaking out the whole time, hoping that they wouldn't end the movie with WALL-E basically dead (i.e. memory lost, personality lost, just packing trash for the rest of eternity). Then I remembered it was a Pixar animated film aimed at children.
*PHEW!*
Unfortunately, there are some of those out there that would rather have WALL-E die, since "that would effect them longer" or "for the sake of art, that's what should have happened".
I've got a few words for you:
IF THAT'S YOU'RE DEFINITION OF ART, THEN YOU CAN TAKE YOUR ART AND SHOVE IT
My definition of art is beauty. That is what art SHOULD BE, in my opinion. And if I'm wrong, that art isn't all about beauty, then I'm back where I was as a kid--wanting NOTHING TO DO with art.
Here's a little test for you:
Example A:
Example B:
Now class, can you tell me which of these art *should* be?
If you answered A, then GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC.
