I like how all these hacks call themselves artists. You write awful scripts for crap tv shows....that's all you do....you're mostly all crummy writers. Artists....bah! 
Anything can be called art because there's no accepted definition. The list of "artists" is interminable. As you mentioned above, the morons who scratch out moronic scripts for moronic tv shows that nobody watches; the musicians who moan, whine and cry in their beer, as well as those grunting and yelling the vulgarities of ghetto gutter cRap lyrics; the directors and actors who crank out hundreds of movies every year, nearly all destined to the five-dollar bin in Walmart within two months; those who splash buckets of paint on a canvas, then roll around in it naked; and worst of all, the stand-up comics who try to pass off as comedy the most asinine garbage that would totally embarrass real comedians like Jack Benny and Carol Burnett.
And all these are considered, and consider themselves, artists.
