Sure, art is subjective. That’s respectable. One man’s paint-strewn trash is another man’s Jackson Pollock. And although the prices for such creations are often in the triple digits, we think it’s sort of awesome that artists can ostensibly rip-off their buyers, but their buyers get five times the return when that artist dies.

It’s win-win. Art is great.

Except when some crazy British people try to convince us that invisible art–yes, art that’s not actually there–is real art and that the public should pay £8 (about $13) for the experience. Apparently, London’s Hayward Gallery is “curating” fifty “invisible” art pieces by the likes of Andy Warhol and Yoko Ono and the exhibit will be open on June 12th for a bunch of pretentious art nuts to “spend” their not-so-invisible pounds on.

Invisible art is invisible.

He’ll do it again this weekend when he serves as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live – a gig that sees Jagger performing alongside the Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire and frequent accomplice Jeff Beck instead of the Stones. In honor of this, let’s look at Jagger’s many collaborations through the years.

Ever talk smack about someone via text and send the message to the person you are talking smack about? Yeah, this is worse. Two women “accidentally” text messaged an Alaskan State Trooper, with hopes to gain some booze out of it.

It is definitely also worse than standing in front of Ralph’s when you’re sixteen, asking complete strangers to buy you a fifth. Don’t act like you didn’t do that…Last call for alcohol?
