Now don't get me wrong, I love absurdism. Surrealism is my favorite movement. But Surrealism regardless of what it's critics say, certainly requires talent and untamed imagination as with any great art form.
I think art shouldn't be just a message, there needs to be something else, a narrative, a setting or some kind of emotional connection and it should also be anesthetically pleasing to look at. And really, turning a urinal upside down, randomly slinging paint on a canvas, pissing on a crucifix, pulling a scroll out of your vagina. Those sound like frat boy pranks, not art.
To me.
