Community response of new ubuntu artwork

[Thomas Beckett]

OMG will everyone just shut up about the artwork!  I dont care! 
I can see that some will  - Can someone at Canonical just remove the
thing and put it as an optional install.
If you all want to drivel on about it can you please use the same
subject line so that i can filter it out and ignore the lot of you!
Really! it just aint worth it! STFU!!! 

oh i feel much better now :D



(ps - I actually quite like it ;) )
