SPOILER ALERT!!!! If you have not seen Sex and the City 2 do not look at the below ART-icle
Sex and the City 2
I apologise if you ignored my warning and now know the entire plot after seeing and correctly interpreting the artwork/review
At my old house the drain pipe outside my window developed an incredibly loud, annoying and constant drip. Each night as its incessant noise began I would contemplate stabbing my ears with a pair of compasses to end the torture. I thought I would never be able to fall asleep within earshot of it but after what felt like hours and hours of pain I would finally drift off into a disturbed and exhausted sleep.
Despite days of tired ranting and weeping I could not convey to my friends the levels of pain, boredom, frustration and insanity that the drain was causing. It could only be expressed through art and that is why I have made this film, Sex And The City 2, to recreate every emotion that drain caused.
This is a photo, not of the artwork, which is the film, but of the old, rotting and broken drain which inspired it.
NB: The drainpipe’s dripping also had an unnecessary and annoying voice over, was filled with offensive opulence and sweeping generalisations of Middle Eastern culture and would sing amazingly cringeworthy renditions of ‘I Am Woman’ as its attempt to empower women. It also tried to prepare against the guaranteed criticisms of its lazy, lazy script by announcing that anyone who criticised it was just ’scared of women with a voice’… The drainpipe did this. In retrospect it was quite a unique drainpipe.

I actually went and viewed your artwork with my girlfriend,
for about two days after my scrotum was shriveled and my penis completely inverted!
I was also compelled to go and urinate in all my middle eastern friends homes where the toilet was not!!
Remarkably compelling work !!

I have seen many old, rotting drains, but i have not seen your artwork titled Sex and the City 2. Should I still expose myself to this for a fully-rounded unpleasant experience? N.B. I don’t want to

Unique drainpipe indeed! The cleverest aspect of your ‘drainpipe’ was it’s subtle demonstration of the fact that women can still be sexual post 40. I think this was best demonstrated when it shouted “That’s right – I HAVE SEX” to a gathering of Muslim men. Clever and subtle. And respectful.

Jeremy – can I use your quote ‘my scrotum was shriveled and my penis completely inverted’ in our DVD campaign?
Fred – as Samantha will undoubtedly say in the first and final draft script for Sex And The City 3 “you should definitely expose yourself, waaaaaahhh”
Megan – thank you Megan, I titled that scene ‘America extends the hand of friendship but then throws some frangers with it’

The Brits learned plumbing from the Romans (plumbum – don’t say it as two words). The Sex and the City crew learned about women from the guy behind ‘Beverly Hills, 90210′ and ‘Melrose Place’. So, you say you’re plumbing is annoying?
