Art or Trash: Would you buy this graffiti inspired lamp?

Would you buy this graffiti inspired lamp for $60? I'm speechless, I don't know if it's cool or crazy. Is this art or trash?

Product description:
This lamp is a must have for any boring desk! Made from a vintage Krylon can in Portland, Oregon by artist Jake Rankin. The arm clips onto any tabletop or bookshelf surface and swivels for your ultimate viewing experience. The on/off switch is the paint nozzle!
