The Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery has removed a video depicting Jesus on a crucifix covered in ants from the exhibit. The artist said the exhibit is meant to depict the suffering of an AIDS victim, but conservative lawmakers and the Catholic League have called it hate speech. Transformer Gallery's Victoria Reis and The Catholic League's Jeff Field debate.

  • Fuck religions!

  • what a retard. "if you were to put ants on a picture of mohammed, there's nothing open to interpretation about it" Well, first off, there are no pictures of mohammed... that's a sin or something.

    AND THEY"RE ANTS!!! Ants could mean anything!

    This guy knows nothing about art, exhibited by the fact that he thinks art has to be beautiful to be art.

  • What would happen had the artist put ants on a Koran?

  • How immature was that last comment?!

  • That woman has so much hate inside of her. About 6:10 : the Catholic Church has the largest organizations and the most people doing charity work... maybe she should put the money for her art towards poverty! She is obviously not educated, so not to be taken seriously. I find the video offensive and I think it should be enough if one person is offended. Why do people STILL offend?

  • lol @ ants on jesus, musta been tasty, MMMmmmmMmm

  • @greedcop lol XD

  • a crucifix is a dead guy on a stick, which is good.. but ants crawling on a dead guy on a stick is just AWFUL!

  • nos dan una imagen y se molestan por utilisarlaa,que loco que no fueron ellos quienes lo pusieron en una cruzzz

  • i am Catholic and this is very offensive.

  • try putting ants on mohamed. this is hate speech.

  • @Dinosys5 fuck you too, atheist bitch
