I suppose this is the new form of "outrage". Just like Mayor Ford when he was presented as nude in a newspaper, it is done in bad taste and ultimately it is not very constructive. Freedom of expression? I suppose, but these rules are certainly only applicable to some and not others, wouldn't you agree?

To each their own. It may even raise a few giggles, but such paintings aren't going to improve our economy.
