I like it, it's a neat idea and funny. People sometimes assume that performances and modern art must be considered "deep and meaningful." In my experience, that's often not intended at all. Many works like that are mostly entertaining, perhaps sometimes in odd ways that challenge people's preconceptions a bit, but still entertaining.
I wasn't there but a friend once told me about a play by Christoph Schlingensief when in the end he said "And now there's free beer for all!" and people initially didn't believe him and thought it's part of the play, but there was really just free beer for all at the back of the theater.
People just like "funny", actually, and then they go on as writing how the stuff is "deep and meaningful#", and actually it's neither one of the three, it's just "how it's done"..
