"It's a bird!"
It's a plane!"
"...Oh, it's just a flying dead cat"
-
I remember when this happened. It was all over the news.
This guys says it's "art". Sad the poor cat couldn't just rest in peace.
-
I vote the artist needs a punch in the mouth.
-
I think we need more Cat-O-Copters. :aok
For the record I am not in favor of Dog-O-Copters.
-
:huh
-
It's fortunate that cat is dead, did you see where the battery went? :uhoh

But think of the new sport that can come of this. The Dog/cat-o-copter death race 50000

Stuffed animals is hardly a new thing. The application however is new. Why people get upset over a stuffed cat is beyond me... Taxidermy is an ancient art.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the "stuffed cat".
The fact he turned a dead cat into a toy....a crappy toy at that....is beyond disrespectful to the animal in my eyes.
-
Just helping the cat finally catch those birds...
And how can it be disrespectful? The cat is dead.
-
The fact that the cat is dead does not logically exclude disrespect.

*brings cat to monitor*
"IF YOU SCRATCH THAT Golly-geeN COUCH ONE MORE TIME, THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU!"
O_O
Sorry, and yea I know, I'm going to hell.
:salute

How can you be disrespectful towards an inanimate object?

Could you bring a slushie too?

Oh how the good ol' cliche "Have you no respect for the dead?" fits in here.
If you can't understand it now, there is no hope for you to ever understand it in the future.

You could burn a flag, tear up a library book, chisel graffiti ino a war memorial etc. etc.
-
And do not forget, piss on the Alamo.

You're probably right about that; I'll never understand. Lots of toys are made from animal products, and the next time you stomp around in the mud with your Marine boots, do you respect the animal they were made from? I don't think so.
-

Then you disrespect the people of a nation, library people, author, families of soldiers etc. etc.
Real living people that can be hurt by these actions.

So, you're saying it's only disrespectful if other people are alive to get upset about it?
Using an animal to live and survive is coherent than making it a cheap, poorly built, freak show that was constructed just to get hits on the internet.
Alas you cannot teach a fool, however at least I can say I tried to help the ignorant.

Saying that this is art is a Stretch. :rolleyes:

Like a baseball glove or soccer ball? Animals have been used to make toys since the beginning of mankind.

Thanks a lot. :confused:

*sigh* let's break it down this way: the guy says it is art. It's not. He just wanted his fifteen minutes of shock.
Were it a decent toy not built for a simple shock effect or actual art it would have been tolerable.
It's like vomiting on white paper, making it stay, and calling it art.
-
It's the "shock" part I'm confused about. Apart from PETA activists I don't understand why people would be shocked. Maybe it's a cultural difference thing...
-
Did a little digging. Bart Jansen, the creator of that flying cat thing, is a pretty famous Dutch designer: www.bartjansen.com He certainly does not need 15 minutes of "shock" on Youtube.
It was his own cat and it was hit by a car and died. The cat was named Orville after Orville Wright, so he thought it would be a fitting tribute to the cat to make it fly. It's a bit weird perhaps, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Mind you, I come from a culture that shoot whales with cannons and clobber baby seals...
-
Wow! He actually designed the accessory program of the new XBOX 360.

I see what you did there.

I LOL'd pretty hard. And I kinda want one to freak people out with :rock

Ahh, tree falls in the forest. So if no one is aware of actions that would be considered disrespectful are they still disrespectful? Also if one group considers something a sign of disrespect but no disrespect was intended did disrespect transpire? What if the disrespecter is aware that their actions would be seen as disrespectful but don't consider that view to be legitimate, are they being disrespectful if they do the actions in question?

A very astute analogy.
