Whine Over Scream

Some members of the art world are offended that the theft of the painting The Scream has been turned into a board game:

"Some people think it's horrible..." (Munch) museum spokeswoman Jorunn Christoffersen said.

"In principle I find it a bit in bad taste to make a game out of the theft of The Scream," Kaare Berntsen, the artistic director of the Kaare Berntsen Gallery in Oslo, said.

Bad taste, eh? But of course, it's one of their own.

One wonders where the offended Berntsen stood on the issue of Piss Christ.
