The pop artist Christina Aguilera has just dropped £25,000 - that's about $43,500 - on a painting by the
British graffiti artist Banksy. The painting shows the late Queen
Victoria, who passed anti-homosexual laws and "famously believed women were incapable of being gay", depicted
as a lesbian. Victoria, clad in stockings and garter belt, is painted in a compromising position with another woman.
Aguilera plans to display the controversial painting in
her home.
The painting is after the jump and is possibly not safe for work.

What do you want to say by this post? That Aguilera is a lesbian? Interesting news :)

Now if you guys had just not mentioned the "not safe for work" thing, I would have gladly moved on but noooooooooo.... you just had to mention it didn't you?
That's like daring a fat kid not to eat a piece of cake - of course he's gonna eat it.
Let's hope the office cops aren't watching at the moment cause otherwise you guys will owe me a job ;)

What I read in your post is the very slightly veiled assertion that Aguilera is no Art History major, nor does she have any great knowledge of history or pop-culture in history.
I read in the post that she likes tawdry, and if it came with some kind of lurid historical context with which she could educate her friends over a Smirnoff Ice, then even better!

That painting, while suggestive - and funny, shows absolutely nothing unsafe for work.
