31/03/2007: "Chocolate"

There's a big debate in the US about whether this chocolate statue should be allowed to be seen by art gallery visitors in New York or not. It will not be shown at Easter, as was originally planned. Some people feel that people from a particular faith can condemn caricatures with a deligious content, then Christians should be allowed to ban chocolate statues with a religious content.

I thought about this as I went to a party last night, which took place in a disused Church. I had been to Paradiso in Amsterdam, but this particular venue looks like the real thing, with organ and all. To trample what used to be considered god-inhabited space, moving to the beat of electronic music, spilling bloody mary onto the ground, this is Holland today.
