Performance art

[supergee]

Andy Kaufman became famous for doing something that was a lot like comedy except for the part about making people laugh. He has been followed by others acting like assholes but it's comedy because they don't really mean it. I like the economy of never attributing to cutting-edge performance art what can be explained by stupidity or meanness, but I also like Janeane Garofalo's theory that Ann Coulter is performing an endless Andy Kaufman humoroid bit. So, Gallagher: really like that?

Thanx to Shakesville
