“With the debut of the painted portrait at the Salon of 1884, Sargent and Madame Gautreau weathered a firestorm of criticism by a public outraged by the decolletage, the lavender flesh tones, and the haughty pose as well as what they stood for: the sitter’s apparent disregard for public opinion and the artist’s collusion in her depiction.” — Sargent at Harvard

“GoDaddy.com won few critical waves with its titillating Super Bowl ad, but it clearly emerged Monday as the game’s most controversial spot, especially after Fox Broadcasting acknowledged killing it in the middle of the game.” — MSNBC
