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?

I love the irony of your post, Polly.I've never been to see anything pretentious, but I do go to the theater a lot and of course, a lot of people who go ARE pretentious, especially in Orange County (rich fuckers).
Last summer, when the Royal Ballet danced here, I went to see both Cinderella and Giselle. It was hilarious listening to all the snobs saying how much they'd paid for their tickets, and how they'd been to London just to watch the RB perform at the Royal Opera House.
Should've seen the looks on their faces when me, in my best Hull accent, said "my brother dances with them, he does" and went backstage to see him.
Edit: Polly, I wasn't supporting you. I just find it rather ironic that you are spelling like a mong and apparently can't use a punctuation mark, yet demeaning Pixel for "not having had an education".
