Which one is better?
"Well, the Mona Lisa is pomegranate because seriously, it's too plain. What's going on in it? It's just a boring picture of a girl."
"I disagree, I find the Mona Lisa to be a fine piece of art that really stands out in how realistic paintings could be in a time long before photographs. It really captures the-"
"Yeah, I feel you, but seriously. Check out The Persistence Of Memory. It's a work of art. It really speaks to you."
"Yeah, it tells me someone randomly scribbled some pomegranate on the page and it was suddenly DEEP artwork. Look at a;; the pomegranate that's going on in it, and it's not nearly as skillfully made as Lisa"
"Skill doesn't matter, look at the message it's giving. It's much stronger than some plain girl staring at you."
There you go.
