The famous "Scream" painting goes up for auction today and is expected to set a new record and break the record set by a "Picaso" and go for around 150 million dollars.

What has the world come to?

You can buy a country for that and relieve millions of hunger and give them a roof over their head. All for the price of one lousy painting

$150m, is a bit too much. Experts estimate that the painting could sell for as much as $80 million.

To be honest, I wouldnt even pay a tenner on a flea market for that painting. Doesnt move me in any way.

But then again, I am no Picasso either LOL

I wouldn't have it in my house------unless one of my kids painted it for me, and even then it would be hung where I couldn't see it. Too weird for my comfort.

If one of my kids painted that for me, I would seek professional help (for them and me)
