Student induces miscarriages for art projects

Quite possibly a hoax, but if true, I'm at a loss for words.

While I'm loath to post a news item just to express indignance, I'm kind of at a loss here. What do we make of this? If it's fake, well played. If not... Jesus.

You should read the comments sometimes.

I'm biased on this because my wife had a miscarriage about 5 months into her pregnancy for our third child, but this hag should get her ass kicked if she did this. It appears to be a fake, but all she really did was stir up pain for the people that have really gone through this.

You're welcome. But someone's about to lose his job as editor of the student newspaper at Yale... they're the ones who ran with the story.

When I was in college, I knew a girl who saved her menstrual blood in little photo containers so she could paint with it.* A couple years later, there was a film student who wanted to shoot scenes of sexual penetration for a thesis project. While this is pretty far off from that, it didn't seem quite so farfetched to me as it did to most, and the fact that this "stunt" was part of the larger project makes a lot of sense.

I did like this quote from the article, though:

Quote:
“People have to stop being so dismissive about what art is. It has to stop hanging on the wall. It has to be something lived, breathed every day."
*Which I later turned into one of the better jokes I wrote in a script.

As I read this I keep picturing Brian from Spaced in drag.

Having - um - interacted with menstrual blood, I'd be really curious to know how she kept it fresh enough to paint with. Did she store it in her fridge?

Oookay then. See, www.goldenacrylics.com - this happens to be my brand of choice. Naphthol Red Medium works well for me when I need that particular shade in one of my paintings. Y'know, as opposed to my own menstural blood. Who knows, maybe I'm just not that deep of an artist.

Well, you clearly don't live and breathe your art like the nice Yale student told us we should.

Menstrual blood paint: Mix it with Vaseline, maybe?

Oh, I KNOW! My art isn't literally a part of me! (*sob!*)

Yeah, I changed mine first, then posted "Hey..." in that thread to see if you'd blink. But since I keep forgetting I am not in fact the center of all attention and the connection might not have been made, I see how you could have missed it.

I was just waiting for you to budge.

I know it was probably a typo, but your asterisk positioning reads like an animated gif of you shooting yourself in the head ad infinitum.

LisaNY that menstruation comment is both sig worthy and vomit inducing. Congratulations!

Only after I scribble it on a canvas with the fluids drained from your dead body mixed with embalming fluid!

I think it was in her mini-fridge, yes. I only saw a couple of her "paintings" and they were very primitive. Bernard Berkman would have gotten a kick out of them.

Thank you, Bob, that about sums up (in approximately 1000 words) exactly how I feel about this.

Yep, it's all well and good to live and breathe your art, until your trust fund runs out and you have to get a real fucking job.

MissZooey is cool 'cuz she's real funny even when it's, like, she's not trying to be. She's all . . . y'know. . . like, subtle, an' shit. Nobody makes me laugh more with less said except maybe Tim.

God DAMN do I want rep back at times like this.
