Dictator Art - buttock edition
October 28 2011
Lots of excitement in the press about the piece of Saddam's buttock that failed to sell at auction for £250,000. The sale was, it seems, to raise money for charity. But what a ridiculous price. They should have taken the top bid of £21,000, itself a silly value, and run.
