Actually, Yes, that is pretty much exactly what you would say and the response would often be "Wow." I wonder what the response was when it was on display at Robert Morris. Did people turn away in disgust, or did they want to touch it?
"not in the least bit exciting to me"
Or me either, but in this day of "reality" television I think that alot of people would find those items alot more facsinating than gruesome.
To many people, this kind of stuff is more interesting than a mass produced piece of cardboard with some guys picture on it.
I would not want to own it, but I know seveal people who would.
