art and protest

True to their vanguard method of protests, PETA does it again, staging demonstrations against the killing of fish for food or sport.


It's a thin line they play between erotica and the intent to shock in order to convey a message. How much of it is art if it can be considered art?


Or maybe the point is that we are so indifferent to animal rights that their cause warrants this ferocity of protest...


More recently, Lady Gaga at the MTV VMA awards last night dressed in meat (much to PETA's fury). The irony is that perhaps this is a toast to tasting their own medicine. And funnily enough, I actually quite liked the cut of the dress, lol.
