An arty mushroom

An ad by "Americans for the Arts" on the Naruto Chuushin website reads,
"When kids think Puccini is a kind of mushroom,
Clearly there isn't enough art in our schools"

So I asked my brother if he knew what Puccini was, and he replied,
"It's a drink/wine...err no it's a car"

I suppose that says that we don't have much of the arts in Singapore schools either.

Or maybe it's just my brother. After all, the Madama Butterfly leaflet is still stuck on my door with Puccini's name right in the middle of the White Ghastly Face with the Bleeding Eye.
