Ai Wei Wei and the concept of shamelessness

Ai Wei Wei is shameless.

He can mock that wee kid dead on a beach and come up smelling of roses!

Turns out I wasn't the first to peg the great Ai WeiWei as a shameless opportunist.

Alastair Smart has done that.

Francesco Bonami has done that.

Jed Perl, David Maine, and Nitasha Dhillon have all done that... and these are all really serious people who have little or nothing in common with the pot-addled hillbilly who writes this blog.

But nevermind all that... Canada (or at least a very small slice of the Canadian elite) just honoured Ai WeiWei with the Adrienne Clarkson Citizenship Medal!

If nothing else, maybe we can establish once and for all that our "elites" don't speak for the rest of us.
