Some things should be art but alas they really aren’t. This is one of them. Homophobic GOP’er Rick Santorum, who [famously compared](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum%5Fcontroversy%5Fregarding%5Fhomosexuality?ref=hyperallergic.com) homosexuality to “man on child, man on dog,” has now been immortalized in a mosaic of gay porn.

First the anti-hate advocates [Google-bombed him](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign%5Ffor%5F%22santorum%22%5Fneologism?ref=hyperallergic.com) and now this. Poetry is too meek a word.
