Don't blame him. He was writing about the portrayal of religion in the film
'The Song of Bernadette' and had no idea that in the future his aside would
be ripped out of context and placed in a pig pen.

Saying art is subjective is just like saying balogna is subjective. Surely if balogna was subjective everyone's taste in balogna woud be the same but a simple survey of fifth grade lunch boxes and business lunches with bankers shows where this argument falls apart. Plus, many people like mustard on there balogna while some like mayo and even others like nothing at all and this isn't even mentioning the bread. Clearly balogna is subjective and so is art. QED -Robert Balogna
Or:
Saying art is subjective is like saying bologna is subjective.
Surely if bologna was subjective everyone would make their
own bologna and most of it would end up tasting (especially by
objective standards) just awful. The result would be that fifth
grade lunch boxes and just plain banker's boxes would gravitate
to peanut butter and honey made by epistemological objectivists
and bees. People who liked mustard on their peanut butter would
be held up as objects of ridicule and subjected to the indignity
of spam.
