In case you missed it, an art collector purchased a banana duct-taped to a gallery wall at Art Basel, Miami.<\/p>\n

The collector paid\u00a0$120,000, and the news immediately went viral.<\/p>\n

Is it art? Is it a banana? Is it worthless now that someone went and ATE the banana?<\/p>\n

One thing’s for sure, content creators saw the sale and are, understandably, peeved, howzabout people pay more for seriously beaut shots?<\/p>\n

UAE based photographer\u00a0Altamash<\/a> posted his own joke take on #bananagate, asking for a minimum bid of\u00a0$119,999 on this perfect symmetrical shot of the Burj K.<\/p>\n

A banana sold for $120,000\u00a0@artbasel<\/a>\u00a0while I\u2019m trying to sell this as a print for $119,999 (min bid plz)<\/h2>\n
