Shake Hands With An Artist

Washington Post writer Paul Saffo finds the idea of DNA being used in the future as a type of identity card to be creepy.
That's not nearly as creepy, however, as what he reveals further on in his article- that artist Thomas Kinkade, the so-called "Painter of Light", mixes his "DNA" into the ink when he signs his paintings, calling it his "forgery-proof DNA Matrix signature."
I don't know what DNA-laden product this Beetlejuice of Light is smearing on his canvases, but whatever it is...yuck.
My brother used to hock a lugie into his food if he had to leave his plate for a minute, but you don't see him bragging to the papers about his "DNA Matrix food-pilfering prevention device".
