The notion of the transgressive in art was supposed to be a send up
or making fun of the Bourgeoisie. Now , reality television has
institutionalized and turned the transgressive into just another
Bourgeois titilation. The trouble is it's taken on a power hungry,
manipulative position just like the Bush administration. It's a
Theatre of Cruelty with no hope of redemption. Stranger still is the
spectacle of fake morality and fake transgression pointing accusing
fingers at each other. This is the mediascape in America 2006.
