Okay, I realize that I am responding to flame bait. So be it. Jackson Pollock never "by tossing it through a turbine", he did it by hand, meticulously, with great effort, and great intent. To say that he intended to "fleece the public out of money" is an affront to the sensibilities of even the most boorish of swine. Even the slightest education with regard to art will clear up the nauseating distastefulness of your putrid excrescence. I bid you good day, and banish you to a month of art history classes.
