Oh my....

This is right up there on the weirdsh*t-o-meter.

I do wonder if old “Orville” was pre-destined for his fate. I’m going to hope it’s a fake cat. He looks too good to be recycled roadkill.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Recently departed porcine pets turned into drones that will attack radical Moslims. Its all about psychological warfare."

Two words: Hover Hogs...!

Pegging the meter. Hilarious stuff. Silly Euro types.

I was just going to post this sick story

Good thing you waited. Now you don't have to take the rap!

[Ditter]

It's “interwebs” silly, everybody knows that! :)

[BO Stinkss]

“Now you don’t have to take the rap!”

or the credit!

This sounds like an old Monty Python routine about a flying cat. Not to confused with flying sheep, of course.

I'm used to being scolded for nutty things I post .... chalk it up to *pop culture*.

Nice picture of the monkey as a bishop. I wonder if there is a pig as mohamed next to it?

I have no idea as to the context of that 'art' but if it relates to the clergy sex abuse scandals, then I'm OK with it. That's the classic "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" monkey pose.

This is seriously weird, but I am saving that photo!

Don’t know where I will ever use it, but its going into the photo file!

At least Dali was a shameless huckster, which was a step up from the rest of the modern “artists.”

[Mad Dawgg]

Well if you liked the photo.

Okay, I figured out the motivation. The Dutch are eager to redeem their reputation after it was sullied by that Van der Sloot freak.

I'm a little concerned about anyone who'd make a toy out of the corpse of a (supposedly) beloved pet. Since the poor cat was dead first, he's not doing it any harm. But it's terribly tacky. Even more so since he's using his dead cat 'copter to bring attention to his artwork and presumably make money.

Looking at the thing, they had to break or dislocate the shoulders and hips to splay the limbs like that. The unnatural posture makes it look like the animal should be in agony. But the cat's facial expression conflicts with this: the eyes are wide open as if the cat is frightened, but the mouth is almost smiling. Even knowing the cat is dead, the overall effect is disturbing.

If you just had to make a flying toy out of your dead cat, it seems as though you could do it in a way that respects the cat more. For example, if the cat were sitting in and appearing to pilot an aircraft with its front paws, with no visible mutilation of the corpse, that could have been cute.

All I can think of when i see that Picture is a Pigeon seeing that cat hovering in the air thinking “OK, this shit’s not fair anymore...!”
