Okay, listen now. I'm not posting this to contribute to the internet fracas surrounding whether or not this "starve a dog" piece actually happened, or its ethical implications etc. I just had to share how Graig R. found a perfectly tasteless way to work in that most classic of lolcaptions to a work of art that was probably a hoax in the first place. But seriously, did anyone take the time to translate the title before they made those facebook protest groups? (2007)

Duane Hanson - Queenie II (1988)
Sculptor Duane Hanson is known for exacting replicas of individuals who appear to be of low-economic status. The rolling trash can is filled with the leftover bits of Madame Tussaud after the cleaning lady was through with her. (1988)
