    So your strategy is to destroy meaning until you can claim anything. My opinion is art and by disagreeing with it you are refuting your own argument. See, I too can say nonsense.

    It’s literally a fucking ad. You can of course examine anything through the lens of art, but this is much more meaningfully and relevantly viewed as psychological manipulation.

      Destroy meaning and claim anything? Sorry, that’s what you did when you decided to jump in and insist that a the products of a collaboration between a business and an artistic media can’t count as art.

      It was a pointless argument in the first place. I never said the donuts are beautiful art. None of the people upset about it are complaining because of donuts. They’re complaining because of Harry Potter, the series of novels. Art.
