jandri · 4 June 12, 21:33

Next time i find one of my cats dead, i ll have a reason not to burry it.

Perfect airodynamic shape?
It's like the aircrafts from Avatar.

Part of me is kinda intrigued, but the cat owner in me is thinking that it's a bit too much.

tjc · 4 June 12, 22:46

I`m also a big fan of cats I`ve loads over the years and imo that is pretty sick indeed...

The poor thing was unfortunate enough to be run over, just bury it and give the poor thing a bit of dignity.

gears · 4 June 12, 22:51

I'm a long-time cat owner myself guys lol.

Part of me is horrified at that.....

lol on the other hand, that first pic.... It's just so wrong!!

Yup. That's about the same I am thinking.

BTW the worst of thius is, the guy is an 'artist'.
I do not consider this art, I consider it 'borderline funny/stupid/horrid'.

However, in Holland being an artist means you get sponsored by the governement.
So what we see here is abuse of tax payers money.

I'm not against art, nor against subsidising art.
But next, we'll have some jack-asses dropping turds from a highrise,
calling it art, and getting money from it.

Yeah man, that's the way to solve the crisis...

Bravo, Bravo

If the the poor cat was paralyzed by the accident I can imagine that idiot still doing that.

Raymond Lucardie · 5 June 12, 10:22

Turning a stuffed cat into a helicopter is a bit odd, but I don’t find it ‘sick’.
There are several artists who've used dead animals as art objects, for instance Damien Hirst.
A couple of years ago there was some controversy when a Dutch artist, who
calls herseld 'Tinkebell' made a purse out of a dead cat's skin. It raises an interesting question why people find it ‘sick’ to use dead animals or parts of dead animals as art objects. In most cases I don't find it a very pleasant sight, but if the animals were'nt painfully slaughtered or sacrificed for the sake of art, I have no objections.

ChrisDanger · 5 June 12, 11:32

I find it odd that people put up such a stink about using cat skin to make a purse, while they clutch their cow skin purse. The cultural filter through which we view the world is distorted and misunderstood.

And yeah, that guy's a bit odd, at worst, for turning his pet into a toy. But it really isn't anywhere near the extremes of depravity of which humankind is capable.

Just the way everybody was brought up differently

, some find it sick or weird while others find it funny.
Like the news media, it only reports what will get ratings. For instance locally a litter of puppies and the mother that got thrown in the trash got national media attention yet a week later somebody dumped a litter of kittens and the mother in the trash yet none of the local news stations or local paper even mentioned it, when they were contacted about the cat & kittens they said "oh it's just cats".

mrpowcz · 5 June 12, 12:01

I don't find it sick personally, as been said its just about our culture.
Do something llike that with a cow in India and spend your holiday in prison. How is a cat any more important, just because they're cute.

kennyken · 5 June 12, 12:56

Wow well that is something different.

Ric Flair · 5 June 12, 13:10

More than a cultural thing, it´s more respect, animals should be respected aswell but i guess that´s more than most people´s standards can take

I agree. people can pretty much do whatever they please.
As long as nobody gets hurt in the process, I do not care (much).
Unless they fly that thing through my windscreen, of course.

The thing that I care about is the funding.
Most artists in Holland are fundend by tax payer money.
Then what do you get, some stupid idea, call it art, get money out of people.

But, then again, most peopel are stupid enough to pay for it.
I guess you could also call it 'ART' to produce

and then make money off that.

Examples:
SCIENCE?
Shitty Art?
Science of artificial shitting

Could find much more but they were even raunchier.
Would we call it FITH or would we call it ART,
and would we be prepared to spend public money on it... I wouldn't.

Turning a cat into a helicopter, IMO same kind of thing.

I’m not sure if Bart Jansen’s flying cat actually is a subsidised art project, or that it is funded by tax payer money. But coreect me if I'm wrong.

Not to argue the point, but perhaps just to clarify, what I have difficulty with is this. Imagine eating a cat. I'm sure it's a pretty disgusting idea to you. Yet to eat a cow is probably quite normal. The reality that they are both mammals and generally safe for human consumption is blurred completely by our social filter. Although I might not quite like the idea of eating a cat as much as a cow (for subconscious reasons due to my own, recognised cultural filter), I would have as much of a moral dilemma as with eating any other mammal.

Raymond Lucardie · 5 June 12, 16:45

Well, if people find a stuffed flying cat already disgusting or morally wrong,
I wonder what you think of Dr. Gunther von Hagens' artwork that is
made off dead people. Really, some corpes are even put in copulating
postions. Sounds like fun eh, to have a post mortum whopee.

According to the BODY WORLDS website, all anatomical specimens on display are authentic. They belonged to people "who declared during their lifetime that their bodies should be made available after their deaths for the qualification of physicians and the instruction of laypersons."

...but while I can live with it, I wonder if those people ever meant to be part of a show,
of which the goal simply is 'making money'.

Pizzaman · 5 June 12, 18:36

Eh, just thought of something.

Does anyone wonder if this Bart Jansen is married and has kids, and if so...

...would he...

He is.

Why don't we eat humans that died of natural causes, or make leather out of their skin and such? Logically it would make sense, waste-not-want-not. But we aren't just emotionless machines or reactionary animals, we have the capacity to decide what we will tolerate and what we won't. In other words, cultural and societal illogical sensibilities aren't a bad thing, it's what separates us from the animals and machines.

To be frank, I would rather he make a human-copter instead. A person can make an informed decision about how they want their remains treated (can't say I would care about having my body treated that way, I'm dead, I don't need it anymore), but animals don't have any choice.

mrpowcz · 5 June 12, 23:02

This all comes down to personal opinion again, yours is as important than ours.
I would definitely not like to see a human-copter because I value human remains more. The cat didn't choose to become an RC controlled device, but on the other hand now she/it doesn't care either.

umma gumma · 5 June 12, 23:16

damn, that's a great idea...I think I'll keep grandma around after she dies, she's always wanted to fly

she could be looking over me in the afterlife

Firefox · 6 June 12, 02:59

Soylent Green is people!

You can’t eat humans, for the simple reason you’ll get ‘mad cow disease’ (Creuzfeldt Jacob) because it’s not safe to digest human protein.
And as for leather and such, you mean lampshades made from human skin and soap? Well, the Nazi’s already did that. I don’t think that would be a good idea.

Looking at that cat flying, the one thing it teaches us is that some people are nuts.

RMi Release Group · 6 June 12, 09:39

I dont understand the responses of "sick" "morbid" etc.

It is HIS cat!

It not like he made the copter from a RANDOM cat

pribeiro · 6 June 12, 09:55

Definitely, that dude have done a sick and morbid thing...

Pizzaman · 6 June 12, 10:02

Sick and morbid are not related to 'ownership'.
Probably people feel this isn't the way to treat a dead cat.
BTW usually, the cat owns YOU and not vice-versa (I have one too).
Eh, maybe using a random cat would make it worse, but then again,
it is also maybe even worse that he did this to his 'beloved' pet.

For instance, people that eat chicken will often not eat their own chicken.
Instead they sell their own chickens for meat, having trouble to eat them themselves,
and buy chicken from the supermarket. This is considered normal.
Eh... that would mean this 'artist' is abnormal?

I do believe though, the cats care less about it than the humans.
And somehow, I am weirdly curious what the cats brother (he bought two, one still alive),
would say when he saw his fellow-cat of many years hovering around like this...

Too bad cats cannot make human-copters, nor recieve subsidised funding for it.

RMi Release Group · 6 June 12, 11:06

i somehow doubt the cat is being hurt or traumatized from being converted into flight mode.

why is a kittykopter any different from the thousands that have their pets stuffed?

I think its kind of sick that people burn their loved ones and sprinkle their ashes all over the world....

getting my point here?

Pizzaman · 6 June 12, 11:22

Yeah man, I see the point.
There was even an episode of 'Family Guy' where the dog found out they had his mother stuffed.

Having your pet stuyffed is kinda weird too, IMO.
Haven't seen anyone that had his grandma stuffed though.
O wait... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxuW77CNx40

But, generally, cremation is the way to go IMO. Vikings did it too.
We're running out of sematary space...
