31. But that's what I said.
People shouldn't act like that personally. They shouldn't pick on someone for being different. On the other hand, when someone like Andrew Dice Clay creates a persona so offensive that his jokes disgust people, he's commenting more on the people with the attitudes his persona share than on the people his jokes target. Art is meant to explore our boundaries by crossing them and illustrating the lines from the other side.

I'd like to see individuals held to higher standards and artists allowed more free rein, is what I'm saying.
