Since we've established that any dang thing can be considered art depending on who's doing the interpreting, the real question is not "is it art or not," but "is the intellectual community that considers this to be worthwhile/significant/great art one worth belonging to?"
From Ananova's Quirkies:
Exhibit A: Roadkill is put in a frame, called art.
Exhibit B: Derelict building modified to have part of its facade rotate, called art
Exhibit C: Theater director pays £27,000 for abstract painting, then finds out it was made by two-year-olds.
My response to the third one: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
