It is all subjective. One person's art is another person's trash.

Anybody here see the play The Book of Mormon? I saw it in Minneapolis some years back. It was raw, coarse, obscene...but at the same time riotously funny. I can't remember any time I've laughed as hard as I did at that play. Some--a few--folks did walk out. The rest of us enjoyed ourselves hugely.

Interesting, though, how the Mormon community reacted. Some were there, enjoying the play as much as the rest of us. At the end, though, they were out front handing out cards that read (in paraphrase) "You've seen and enjoyed the movie. But would you like to know more about the real Church of Latter Day Saints"? Which I thought was a really classy way for them to react.
