this wasn't what duchamp had in mind.

Koons can copyright my feces.

Wow, is the Warhol estate suing Campbell's? I find Jeff Koons amusing, but this is lame.

@2:

What makes you think he hasn't?

@4, another lawsuit down the toilet.

well this deserves a multi-million dollar eyeroll

Luckily, Microsoft already patented Balloon Tunnels.

@2 better get ready for an infringement suit every 1-2 days

Coffee + cigarette = infringement suit.

Quit calling that asshole an artist. He commissions the work, somebody with actual skill creates it.

Jesus, this must be the only way this throwback to the 80's can get in the news these days.

If Gordon Gekko were real, Koons' stuff is what he would have bought to show his "cultured" side.

good for him. he should protect his idea against derivative design stores posing as galleries. not saying his ideas are deserving of their economic position, but it is the status that is the art. if a store was selling reproductions of a local seattle artist without permission then i think you all you'd be howling in the other direction. i remember the ax coming down hard on anthropology for using an artists idea in their displays. if you haven't been to park life, you don't know what you are talking about. they are in business to sell just like koons and should be held responsible for stealing someone else's idea rather than be celebrated just b/c everyone hates koons.
