It's so bad it's good

Found this gem from slashdot.

Basically a group of SciFi writing got together one long weekend and each pop out a chapter or two of this "SciFi novel" called Atlanta Night, and see whether it'll get published in this publisher who claims to that SciFi and Fantasy writer can't write good story adn therefore the quality bar is set lower. Great. So the few writers got together to see just how low the bar is. It's pretty amusing.

The publisher could very well think it's just a sample of postmodern writing. And why not? The postmordernism movement is still extremely perplexing. Honestly, at what point to you judge it's art and rubbish? There was this little quiz thingy on the web called "art or rubbish" (or something like that) to challenge the viewer to guess whether a certain object is a piece of art or a piece a of junk. And believe me it's actaully hard to tell sometimes.

Not that I'm old fashioned... well, okay I suppose I am, on certain issues like art, but honestly: people has to somehow draw a line somewhere. Then again where to draw the line?

Actually, come to think of it, maybe there isn't a line to start with.
