Bacon Art
7 Comments
Lickety_Split_2003_233_42-1.jpg

When it comes to bacon, I find if you can think it chances are someone has already created it. Case in point: Bacon art. Artist Victoria Reynolds doesn't just love bacon she makes art out of it (and other meat.)

Some of these are funny, some are not for the squeamish.

The Grand Theft Auto Condition

It's getting harder for me to separate reality from fiction. Walking to work today, I was very tempted to do a carjack and shoot some people along the way. My only punishments would be either getting out of the hospital, or the police station. (Money and weapons would be taken, but I could live with that.)

"Redbelt" * (out of four): Ill-conceived morality play set in the world of mixed martial arts is clearly a labor of love for writer-director David Mamet. It's just a labor for the audience.

Having studied martial arts, I understand its all-consuming allure. That first time you execute a technique with perfect precision; the first time you block an attack or take-down an opponent.

But damn if those spinning back-kicks aren't fun to do! Martial arts movies have long dealt with the peaceful hero archetype - the protagonist who avoids the battle at all costs until he can no longer stay out of it. With "Redbelt" - an ill-conceived morality play set in the world of mixed martial arts - writer-director David Mamet takes on the familiar themes of honor and pacifism with all the subtlety of a side-thrust-kick in the chest.

Catstration

Catstration.png I was tempted to post this game at Neatorama, where there is constant complaining about too many cat posts. But the other half of active commenters love cats, so I will refrain. In the game Catstration, you have to control the cat population by throwing a meat cleaver at their testicles. Catch the falling testicles and throw them into your collection. Avoid cat poop and hairballs. If you don't castrate enough cats, they will multiply, just like real cats.

If people acted like that in real life, we'd have more restraining orders out.
