Well, there it is, plain as day - so suspend your disbelief.

I have no idea who PJ Watson is, and as the video was about "art" and not
National Socialists or chemtrails, I don't really care who he is.
Whatever else he's done, I'm pretty sure I can get over it and just enjoy the
video for what it is.

It seemed more to me like he was calling out the actual assholes in "the art
world" - much like those at Retraction Watch call out the asshole frauds and
liars in science and medicine.  Regardless of your subjective view of the
messenger, I thought he had some solid, valid points in his message.

Plus, it's entertainment. Like many famous comedians, actors, etc - _sometimes_
"being an asshole" is an asset - it adds to the comedy.

And I did watch it a second time - and it was just as funny to me as the first
time!   :D

And, btw,
I think Stephen scarred Clipka with his last video link - but I have to say that
aside from "WTF", I kinda laughed pretty hard at that one too.   It was like
some sad example of Japan following in the footsteps of The Spice Girls...
