Taxidermy Gyro Kitty



It's dead. Get over it.

A dead thing is no more sentient than a brick, and I can guarantee that more people will see this cat dead and think about him than ever saw him or thought about him when he was alive.

What's needed now, it seems to me, is a taxidermied helicopter Jack Russell Terrier to "dog fight" this taxidermied gyo-kitty. Just sayin' it would be awesome.

Welllll, yeah, it's dead. But by your reasoning it would be OK if it were a crack baby.

Bad taste is still bad taste.

Just sayin'...

Drone wars! My money's on the hummingbird, though.

Geoni, there a difference between aethetics and ethics as I have noted before, but I am not sure a dead flying crack baby would violate either.

Remember, we live in a world where a very realistic life-sized dead guy on a cross is displayed in churches, and in the churches in Europe many of the big ones also seem to have a real human fingers or toes on display as well (both Christ and the Saints seem to have had an enormous number of extra body parts).

Dead babies in jars are found all over (look up the pictures for "pickled punks") and people pay money and line up (and so do museums) for the "Body Worlds" exhibit. Read about that here and then Google for images >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Worlds

And, of course, we have taxidermied humans and animals since the beginning and still do.

If you die, there's a sizeable chance you will go to an embalmer, which is just a kind of taxidermy.

Question: If a crack baby is taxidermied, and a helicopter motor is put inside and it is flown over the Capitol while they debate US drug policy, is that a worse thing to do with that dead baby than say nothing and simply shove it into the ground without comment?

What must a squirrel think when that thing flies over the fence!?

That is a good question, and though many would not agree, I think if it served the purpose of getting crackheads to use birth control it would be good.

But I bet it wouldn't.

And I don't recall from the video that the flying fur was bringing anyone's attention to an important issue.

As for the dead guy on the cross on the wall. I always found it creepy that so many people have those around - but them I'm not a Christian.

And as for the pickled punks - I'll pass.

I actually have a taxidermied crow in my house. In the case of the gyro-puss, I'd say "It ain't the meat, it's the motion." (That makes me queasy)

I plan to be cremated. Right away. No embalming. Waste of ground space to bury people shot full of formaldehyde and sealed in a concrete box. Just a waste all around, really.

Quadcopters are cool, I'd just rather they not be critters. YMMV.
