    Anyone see that travesty of a clip on Winning Streak, two twats prancing around without grace, skill or imagination, and the all serious faced director of the Arts Council of Ireland, proudly stating that the two utter twats ('street artists') receive arts funding???

    WTF???

    Is it a piss take or something?

    (i never watch WS, but happened across this clip, just now. Christ I'm still in shock)

    I know, lol.

    Christ what a shocker, and the art director dope saying our arts reveal 'who we are to the world', while these two fools prance around - I mean two below average street performers, yes they were trying to be funny, but it was just pathetic - and THEY'RE GETTING PUBLIC MONIES!!!
    IF THIS IS 'WHO WE ARE' ,WE'RE ****ED!'

    Can you imagine it though? Pat and Mary Pratt from the badlands, watching their lotto dreams, (only the dead or insane could watch that program) and they're told that this is what the money is going towards, two fooking fools leapin around for a laugh.

    Although, in fairness, that does probably qualify as art in the badlands, so...

    If you want to discuss the actual clip, take it to the dedicated forum (with the clip) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=838

    If you want to discuss why you think this particular art form is not worthy of funding, pm me a link to the clip and I'll reopen the thread.

    So yeh, you'll be needing that clip.
