I don't knows much about art...but I KNOWS WHAT I LIKES! And I really likes this $73,000,000 Marky Mark Rothko painting, poignantly titled 'White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose)' . I'm no art critic, but this painting speaks to me. And it says, "Yellow and pink and lavender are pretty colors. And so is white. I like rectangles." Powerful stuff. And for just $73 mil...wow. Sure, it's no toilet filled with Jell-O, or a 1989 Chevy AstroVan with the word "Slut" spray-painted on the hood, but that seems like a hell of a deal. It also makes me wonder what my masterpiece would be worth on the open market. Allow me to present: "Random Carpet Square Found in My Desk Next to a Box of Purple Surgical Gloves, #2."
Shall I start the bidding?

I like what your piece says about the post-industrial homogenization of cultural identity - the individual's struggle to achieve oneness amidst sameness. And it's a huge improvement over, "Random Carpet Square Found in My Desk Next to a Box of Purple Surgical Gloves, #1." You've really grown as an artist.
You're the only one that gets me, Controlbot. To demonstrate my appreciation, I am sending you a piece from my newest collection: "Puppy Poop on a Postcard." You should be smelling it in 3-5 days.
I bid $72,800,001
Oh, and I forgot to ask a very pertinent question that almost slipped my mind as I have been staring as this piece for the last 2 hours. I mean how was Mr. Sawyer able to capture the powerful emotions that overwhelmed this post-wary society. I am moved by this piece in a way that I cannot explain with mere words. Anyhoo, before I break down in tears at the way Random Carpet Square has torn at my soul I need to ask something that is equally as powerful. What are a pair of purple surgical gloves doing in your desk drawer?
Are anal exams the standard Thursday lunchtime procedure at your office? Or are they there in case your cleaning lady wants to shake your hand? Could you please clarify.
An emphatic "no" in response to the anal exams...those are on Tuesday mornings. And no, as well, to shaking hands with the cleaning lady. She knows that would never be allowed.
