Sorry Burmashave it may be the Rye clouding my thoughts here but I don't really follow you...are you comparing Fink to Madonna or Manson? If so I couldn't agree more...all 3 are no talent hacks who at best manage to shock "some" people but for those of us who aren't quite so delicate it's hard to even pick them up as a blip on the radar...another similarity is I have never bought one of the artists' cd's nor did I buy any of Fink's B.S.!! 
Let me put it a different way. I have no respect at all for people who actively annoy other people and then complain when those people get annoyed. Maddona and Marilyn Manson have elevated this to a lucrative artform. Madonna tries very hard (it gets ever harder) to offend people's sexual mores and then calls the offended "prudes." Manson offends and then whines depressingly about how he is "misunderstood." Without shock value, both of these no talents would be where they belong. Yet, these two performers -- and others like them -- whine endlessly about the fact that people are shocked by their actions.
In Ratfink's case, as is true of many of the same ilk, he tried to offend, and now he whines that we are not "tolerant." If you want to live on the edge, pay the price, babe.
