Those Weak, Weepy Bloggers

What's going on here? Is it something in the rarefied air of the blogosphere?

First, I admit to getting all teared up by Janet Cardiff's Forty-Part Motet, and then Edward admits to the same while watching the new Shirin Neshat video.

Start by reading his excellent piece. Then select one or more options from the following list.

I think that all these sissy-boy art bloggers ought to toughen up and:

Spend their free time watching football instead of hanging out in museums and galleries
Quit ordering cosmos and start drinking Bud
Realize that everyone belches; go ahead and do it with gusto when the need arises
Accept the fact that NASCAR isn't just for Southerners anymore
Give up that subscription to Artforum and start reading Maxim instead

Update: Amy Watson is getting all weepy over at The Artery this week too. Geesh. After seeing this data set, you might think that there's something to this book afterall.
