NEWS - Artist eats Fox in Political Protest
 

LONDON (Reuters) - Forget the soiled bedsheets and pickled animals, British art has taken another outrageous turn in an example of the unspeakable swallowing the uneatable.

Performance artist Mark McGowan, who counts among his feats pushing a peanut along the road to Tony Blair's Downing street home with his nose, has eaten a fox, in protest at the public fixation with a government ban on fox hunting.

He described the roast fox, which he ate in public, as quite tasty, although he admitted to nearly vomiting at times.

"It was a bit like rack of lamb," he told Reuters on Wednesday. "The trouble was the retching noises from the other people in the room."

How in the hell is this "art"? Seriously. He pushed a peanut down the street to Tony Blair's house with his nose, and he calls himself an artist? If that's possible, then I could crap in my hand and throw it at the guy, and call myself an artist too. I hate these people that do some pointless thing and try to pass it off as if it were worth anything. They should all just be lined up and shot.

yea, he's a real winner...

interesting...

this wasn't even worth the time to open and read. you should be shot for posting it. j/k

pointless, meaningless **** has always been called art. this is just the latest manifestation.

Now I see why Pilgrams got on a boat, and came over here....sick bastads...

He was protesting the fact that more people cared about fox hunting than all the people that needed help in his area. Wouldn't call it art but there are worse things that could be done.
