Nowhere does it claim to be art.

Dunno much about art, but I know what I like.

And what I like isn't a pink, paint-daubed cow.

I agree with cleo. Blimey, looks like a right silly moo dunnit? Ha ha ha.

I like my cow daubed liberally with steak sauce.

Nessie,

I have a feeling you missed my earlier reference. This might clear it up. You have to watch them both to really understand:

It's not art just a silly pink cow with red lips painted on it.

The parade of cows was in Denver, CO last year, and I agree with most folks, that is one ugly piece of cow "art". At least the ones we had here didn't have obscene pink colors or were that aggressive on the eyes.

Only cow I care for is the lilac one aka "Milka Cow".

I know it won't mean much to most posters here: http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/25000/Milka-Cow-25254.jpg

Same way we got a cow for a famous cheese.

TheNewZen- I don`t understand what you mean, i am getting on a bit, is it a youngster thing?

I dont know why they would parade cows. Strewth seems weird to me. Blimey if you want a cow parade, go down The Dog and Bull an a Saturday night, its full of old cows, all drunk and falling about, outragous.

Cleo, what's wrong with a pink cow? To each his own. My wife's nephew's teacher once called her on the carpet and said their was something wrong with her son's head. He had painted a blue snowman. 'Twas a lot prettier than a white one.

We have octopuses and squid selling air freshener on TV and a Gekko lizard selling car insurance.

Whole lotta people have something wrong with their heads; maybe even I.
