Man Wins Turner Prize For Dressing As Bear

It's Turner Prize time again.

And - while there's nothing worse than people who label anything slightly intellectual or artistic as 'pretentious' - we can't help but side with the naysayers on this one and shake our heads like that bewildered Grandma watching 2 Girls 1 Cup on YouTube.

Held in new 'city of culture' Liverpool - kind of like renaming Dachau 'smilesville' - Monday night's Turner Prize was the 23rd in a long line of such controversial get-togethers. Named after the painter J.M.V Turner - an arguable pioneer of the Impressionist aesthetic - the gong generally seems to be given to whatever a local panel of sixth-formers would think would offend their parents the most.

This year? It's been won by a man dressing as a bear.
