Art or Angst

I'm not sure if this woman gets paid for her works or if she just does them on her own,also the only things mentioned by the artist is penises (dicks),giant vaginas,cunts and pussies. She also claims that her work is meant to signify not feeling ashamed of our bodies and sexuality. She did a big red penis on Broome St. in New York which was painted over three days later. Her latest work in Sweden (a big blue penis) was kept for a week before being painted over after multiple complaints from neighbors. The spokesperson for the building said,"Culture and art are important in developing interesting urban environments." But we must also respect our neighbor's opinions.  It seems like there must be a better way to get her point across,if that really is her point,after all if her "art" is painted over then the message isn't seen.

Genius or Insanity?

Similar to love and hate the line between genius and insanity can be a thin one and that is the line IKEA drew when they came out with an ad for pregnant women to pee on. It is a unique concept but it seems like it could also court disaster. As I tried to find out more about the magazine ad I only met with more of the of the same descriptions,which is IKEA basically offers up to a 50% discount on a crib for expecting mothers. Considering the price of pregnancy tests if nothing else it would be a cheap way to determine if you were expecting and never mind you will probably never be invited to "pee on this ad" by any other company.

Punk Turtle

I've always enjoyed turtles they just seem so amiable which is probably partly the reason many of them are endangered. I had never heard of the Mary River Turtle until today when I noticed a Newsweek article about the endangered Australian reptile. As the name suggests they live only in the Mary River and if their photos aren't odd enough they also have some other unusual characteristics such as they can stay submerged for up to 72 hours because they can breath underwater through their genitals,and they do not mature sexually until around 25 years which adds to their endangerment. It is heartbreaking to think of losing any species especially when it can be prevented.

Feeling Froggy

A 28 year old Louisiana woman who grew up hunting and fishing  was taught by her father that when you took an animal's life it was important to not waste any part of that animal. It only follows that she would one day decide to save the skins from the frogs she had caught and make them into a bikini. It was a difficult task to skin the frogs without damaging their delicate skins, so she isn't planning on marketing the swimsuit plus since other than the sinew she used to sew the skins together the finished suit lacks things like underwire or elastic,making wardrobe malfunctions inevitable.

What's the Deal?

I hope everyone enjoys the shower thoughts as much as I do. I have collected a few since I last featured them,they always seem so profound in the shower but not so much when you reenter the real world.
My latest one was,"what is up with the idiom the genie is out of the bottle? Doesn't it seem fairly easy to get the genie back into the bottle? Since he/she is under your command just tell him to get back in the bottle,or save your third wish and wish him back into the bottle."
"Why don't they make mouse flavored cat food?"
"Since cotton is a crop,all cotton tops are crop tops."
(Here's one for the flat Earthers.) "If you believe the earth is flat,do you also believe the moon and sun are flat?"
"Flat Earthers never seem to appreciate how lucky we are that the Earth is horizontal rather than vertical."
"It's pure genius how Charmin has made a long running ad campaign from does a bear shit in the woods."

Strong Faith?

It is not the intention of today's post to discount any religious beliefs,nor do I claim to be an expert on the nuances of various religions however I'm relatively certain no religion demands of their devout to do things like pull a car with their penis,or any other body part for that matter. With that said a religious leader in India known only as Penis Baba appeared to attack a rope to his penis (he didn't expose himself to the public when he attached the rope beneath his robes) and proceeded to pull a car 100 feet. He was quoted as saying "It is not art. It is the power of God-the power of devotion." For some reason I have a hard time thinking God wants his devotees to pull cars with their penises,but again,what do I know?

Buried Treasure

Around 4,000 women and 200 men took part in the eighth annual Sex Toy Treasure Hunt in Belgium. The event is to celebrate the liberation of women which apparently the Catholic faith is against,since a thousand emails and four hundred angry phone calls were received by one of the organizers who is also head of the company supplying the sex toys,it doesn't mention how they knew the people complaining were Catholic,only that they were of that faith which seems like a best guess situation to me. For the men to be allowed to participate they had to be dressed special for the occasion. 800 items were hidden for the hunt and all proceeds were split between charities.
