Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

What can you expect?!??!My sister and I went to see that dead body exhibition thing, by that mad German Dr who 'plasticises' and manipulates dead bodies into all manner of interesting poses, a few years ago in London. That wasn't the pretentious bit - that was highly amusing. It was the group of about 5 or 6 up their own arse, pretentious to the point of painfulness, beard stroking wankers who insisted on spending their visit loudly talking utter shite about each thing they saw and finding meanings that the rest of us were certain did not exist. Not only that but as some of the exhibits were excruciatingly funny (to the point where I thought I was going to burst my shite laughing) we also had to put up with their 'they know not what they do' looks and lots of loud tutting.
It did make me feel slightly better, however, when we met them on the way out and I politely informed them that I paid my admission fee and could laugh as loud as I chuffing well liked at the man with the dangley bollocks.
