Reminds me of what I was trying to say athttp://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/40169878
You and I have already talked about that image, and now you have made your own without the seller.
You often shoot to this theme, and make all of us barbequed chicken lovers feel guilty. Grisly, surreal, but also a fact of life. People eat animals to live. We need the protein. We are carnivores and always have been and always will be. Agnes thinks it is a metaphor for how man treats man as well, and she has a point. Animals don't regularly get together and murder other animals en masse. Only man does that. Sick? Not really. You just make us face an unpleasant fact. We kill to live.

:)..don't worry,they way u think is just normal!...And well..i think u really made this photo to express something much more important than the fact of that we use to eat chicken...Is that..the thing "who want's to die" is kind of actual in our life nowdays...we live ina sick Wolrd..where everything just turend out of its norma..and people think they can kill eachother or die,like a martyr cuz of a stupid idea...thats..REALLY sick!..not u..at all!

U should make a poster from this shot,and make it in million copyes...to put them everywhere with it's text..to...make people understand what's going on.......!

My sick humour I guess Agnes ;-) I don't think it is sad, this is just food. The irony I saw (maybe not clear in the image) is that only some of the chickens are holding their hands up (the ones at the front)! I need to seek therapy...It is gratuitous, and I make no excuse for it. I am glad you think it is cool also. Only those who would deny reality would turn away from this image and deny it's meaning .
