A BBC report this morning had attendance at less than half of the organiser's predictions. Even the May Day holiday had people staying away in droves.
The British Pavilion shows what happens when you put idiots in charge of artists.
Apparently the building was designed to provide a place for 'calm reflection and contemplation'. You know - the quality that we all know the Chinese people are noted for
That explains why on entering the building you see nothing - there is nothing there to disturb your conscious thoughts.
And that explains why one Chinese guy said that after queuing for 4 hours to get into the building he was not happy to see nothing. He most probably felt rather uncontemplative.
A photo of the pavilion, however, shows that the British have not lost their ability to tell people to get stuffed in an understated way. The building's design seemed to have been inspired by a bum in the classic pose of rejection.
Not just any bum - it looks like a Chinese girl's bum to me.
