I guess I'll be the unpopular one and stick up for the mega succesful artist.

So what are all your beefs with him:
1) Too generic, I'm too cool an art critic to like Thomas Kinkade! (His style is mainstream, my stuff is better, blah blah blah...haters...)
2) Too commerical, I'm more spiritual than Thomas Kinkade and can obviously tear down his works for a lack of deep spiritual meaning!
3) Too successful! He has 2000 stores, and puzzles and nightlights! Odd, especially on a page written by a guy coming out with a book. So if his book sells like hotcakes and he makes all sorts of $$ then I guess it'll become cool to hate on him? (I hope this doesn't happen! The hating on that is, I hope you sell a lot of copies. I won't hate on you when you realise nightlights and puzzles. I mean hey, you already have booty, God, Booty buttons)

thanks Clover!
