Apparently people are queueing up for 10 minutes glipses of a naked woman dancing and otherwise strutting her stuff with a dead pig.

Quite frankly the first thing that comes to mind is this text from Exodus 22:19: Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death

an exhibition where artist Kira O'Reilly sits naked for hours with a dead pig,

If that's the best she can do....

Naked chicks with taxidermy and potential barbecue is always cool. And it strikes a warms spot in my heart.

I just wish more art involved naked chicks and barbecues.

The pig is only pretending to be dead - out of humiliation.

Oh, come on people!! You've got to admire someone who's crafty enough to convince "snoots" that what he/she is doing constitutes "art," such that they'll pay money to "witness" it!! Just adds credence to the saying "some people have more money than sense." I hope the con-"artist" makes a HUGH bundle...I really do!!! Serves the dopey "snoots" (mostly far left) right!!!!

In other words, she's imitating a date with Michael Moore?

It seems that a lot of "artists" these days are just talentless hacks. Some might be con-artists or those wondering when patrons of this modern art are finally going to say enough's enough.

On the gallery's Web site (www.newlynartgallery.co.uk), O'Reilly calls the performance "a slow crushing dance with a pig for one person at a time".

"The work left me with an undercurrent of pigginess, unexpected fantasies of mergence and interspecies metamorphoses began to flicker into my consciousness."

Ah, the high art and culture of post-Christian Europe.

Hmmm, on one hand most "performance art" doesn't really merit being described as art, but on the other hand anything that pisses off PETA brings a smile to my face. It's a quandry.

Maybe the audience is supposed to try to tell one pig from the other.

I must say PETA would be Karl Marx's favorite organization if he were alive today.
