the physical impossibility of "the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living" in the mind of someone opposed to dead sharks in formaldehyde
Here's hoping that the same "icky" visceral reaction people are having to the photo will be associated with the de-finning of sharks- it is an evil practice
Ok all I can think of is that creepy character that Vincent D'offreno played in that creepy JLo movie in which Vince Vaughn played a serious cop - The Cell. The bad guy like suspension, and it was hella-creepy.
@Boredinacubicle: Yea, I need to step away from Jezebel for a moment. At least until this picture stops being the first thing that pops up on the page. I'm grossed out.
My pal Surgeon Scofflaw once did a performance during Gurlesque Burlesque (in Chicago) in which she wore a line of flesh hooks in her arms that had chains hanging from them with small fishbowls attached with prayer rocks inside of them. She held out her arms and sang a prayer over and over again. It was one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen -- HOWEVER, about 10 people in the audience fainted. It was the strangest thing to see people just dropping to the floor in the crowded room.
@tomatoheart: I think I would have been one of the ones to hit the floor. Whenever I see photos of this stuff, I start thinking about what it must feel like to dangle from your own skin and I get the wobbles.
@ValSilph: I believe...yes, I believe those hooks are piercing her skin. Jez, I wish some people would be this enthusiastic about issues like poverty, genocide, malnutrition, bride burning, etc. You know, the things that affect humans.
@Cole23: It's not like we have a limited amount of compassion. Everyone should work towards helping whatever issue or cause resonates with them. I care a lot about public education and animal rights. If you're so vocal about poverty, genocide, malnutrition, do something yourself. Don't demand that activists do it in your stead.
@Ailanthus-altissima: I think it's interesting that you automatically assume that issues such affecting HUMANS are more significant than those which affect ANIMALS. I've heard my friends who are animal activists take the exact opposite stand as yours - why spend time advocating for humans that have the power to advocate for themselves? It is more important to help those who truly cannot defend themselves - namely animals.
@you've got red on you: I hate it when they have specials on these people on the National Geogpraphic or Discovery channels. I can handle gore any day, but when it comes to this shit, I'm just like EW EW EW TAKE HER OFF THE HOOKS!!

@Cole23 SERIOUSLY. I love animals, but people are out there getting stoned to death.
