I really enjoyed this article about nipple Jesus. I liked the style in which it was written (being a big guy myself and even doing a bouncer gig a few times..I can relate). I also found it interesting that he felt he knew the photo even better than the author. While the article spoke about the artwork, I feel like the goal of the article was to capture a story of the bouncer. He went from not really caring about his jobs or his life, to finding something which expanded his mind. I think this was the entire point of the painting. To expand the mind and think about how pictures can be put together. Even something as holy as Jesus Christ, can still be constructed with nipples from a porn magazine.
One part that bothered me, and bothered the author as well, is the fact that the artist wanted to artwork to be destroyed (sorta). While to camera did capture the artwork being destroyed, I think about how humanity has a hard time expanding their minds but that's about it. If the artwork was still there, the controversy would still be there also and our minds would be forced to expand. I would rather see humanity look at the world from a different perspective than see humanity destroy the new perspective
