Man films himself eating dead baby and calls it "art"

http://www.metafilter.com/22613/Man-films-himself-eating-dead-baby-and-calls-it

I'm so glad that wasn't a link to the video. I doubt I want to throw up before work.

at least it was a dead baby.

no, wait...that doesnt make it any better. Did he kill the baby? Or did he just find it in a ditch or something?

I dont really know what to say. I keep trying to make it "ok" and I cant :|

Crazy people these days.

1. Cannibalism
2. Baby
3. Mental illness

Nope not art.

Still doesn't beat the guy who drank paint until he died as his final live art piece.

oh well at least it was in good taste and properly cooked.

I hate seeing good food in inept hands.

If this refers to the picturer I've seen many times online it's fake. An oriental guy did an art exhibit eating like a duck leg or something with a doll head attached to it. The photo wasn't great quality so it looked believable enough. Def not real though.

yea, art is a lot of things...depressing, happy, funny, interesting, stupid, thought provoking....but art is always beautiful.

nothing is beautiful about killing yourself, or eating a baby. Thats fugly

Oh, I've seen this on gore sites before.

Ok ppl no need to get your panties in a bunch:

Perhaps you'd like to educate me on what art is?

[QUOTE="Shad0ki11"]

[QUOTE="Lucifericus"] That is not art. That is suicide. God damn people these days don't even know what art is. Lucifericus

I take it you're not familiar with performance art. ¬_¬

You still haven't even attempted to state why it's not art, or attempted to provide any criteria for what makes something art.

i bet theres some art d-bag out there thats thinking

"MY GOD THIS MANS A GENIUS!!!"

but seriously WTF man

thats just not cool

This argument = no. Don't try it please, Mr. Geezer. Pleasecowplayinghalo

I'm absolutely doing it.

If one is to state that X is not Y, then one should be able to state what Y is, and what precludes X from qualifying as Y.

Very few (if any) people here have actually made an ATTEMPT to state what art is. And that is unsettling. Because before you can state that something is not Y, then you'd have to actually DEFINE Y first. Right?

How many dead babies do you usually find in a ditch?

Since you haven't even defined art as necesarily being legal, then maybe it IS art.

Or maybe not. I don't know.

But can SOMEONE please try to start trying to define what art even IS, before dismissing stuff as not being art?

Before you start trying to state that something is not X, then you first have to have an understanding of what X is. There's not much wiggle room here. If we can state that eating dead babies is NOT art, then more people should be stating WHY it is not art.

Here is the link to the picture http://poetry.rotten.com/infantiphagia/taboo2.htmlPvt_r3d

That didn't look nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. I expected blood and stuff.

It´s definitely art.

I feel slightly nausiated just thinking about it, but it´s still art nonetheless. :lol:

Question if anything should be; is this good art? :P

[QUOTE="cowplayinghalo"] Dude... I don't even know where to start. I get what you're saying but some things just shouldn't be argued. I'm going to go kill someone and slice them open to expose their organs. I'm making art!Lucifericus

Art, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder.
