Is there no Limit to Man's Ability to Make a Jackass of Himself?

 For the Love of God by Damien Hirst Bill Bonner mused in the June 7th edition of his newsletter . . .
Oh...and here's the brainless socialite of the art world, Damien Hirst,
at it again. The show-off seems determined to prove that 'art' buyers are at least stupid as voters; there seems to be no limit to
what either group will go along with.
Hirst's latest work is a human skull encrusted with 8,601 diamonds. "For the Love of God," he calls it. It is the most expensive bit of
fluff the art world has ever seen. It cost Hirst $28 million to make.
He expects to sell it for $100 million.
His next work is even more ambitious. He's planning on a plaster cast
of a human fetus, studded with even rarer blue diamonds, which is
expected to sell for $200 million.
Is there no limit to man’s ability to make a jackass of himself?
