Macaulay Culkin and Marcel Duchamp

I just saw an image of Macaulay Culkin wearing a shirt that has Marcel Duchamp's "R. Mutt" signature from his piece called "Fountain." Suddenly, I like him a lot more! I think that takes a particular kind of bent sense of humor and history that I appreciate.

The more I think about this, the more I wish I could ask him whether the potential layers of meaning there are coincidental. Do you think Culkin could be comparing himself to a sort of ready-made art piece that was unexpectedly pushed into public view and rejected by elites?
Or is he just being silly and likes classy references to urinals?
The world may never know.
