Controversial 'Bush Monkeys' painting transforms young artist

From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette: >>The following Saturday, Turco said, "I got a call and they told me, 'You need to take down this show today, otherwise we're seizing the art and you're going to get arrested.'"<< Turco is the organizer of an art show that displayed 'Bush Monkeys'. I wish he had named the caller who threatened to seize the art and have him arrested because the idea is absurd. Arrested on what charges? And who has the right to seize private property just because they don't like it? The name of the artist is Chris Savido. Check out his web site.
