Whimper: Police have recovered stolen pieces of art by Edvard Munch, including his classic, "The Scream".

Is it just me or is "The Scream" a pretty pitiful painting? The guy doesn't even look like he's screaming. He could be yawning. The other two guys in the painting don't even turn around to look.

Take a look at a true piece of art. The cover art for Pink Floyd The Wall shows a true scream. There's agony in there.

It's pretty sad when a movie poster beats out what's considered a "masterpiece". I guess art snobs would say that, because it's commercial, it doesn't really count.
