And Now… The Bacon Cheese Burka!

Move over, Piss Christ: you’re no longer at the cutting edge of the Religion-Insulting Art Movement!

Vlad Tepes (with the assistance of KGS) has thrown down the gauntlet for the world’s avant-garde artists:

Hey artists out there who have enough track record that a gallery will actually take you seriously. Yes I know how it works in the art world, it has [nothing]* to do with how good you are but how much street cred you have because you offended the ‘right’ people. Yes by that I mean offended the ones who won’t do anything to harm you and represent anyone who has actually accomplished something on this earth. So long as you have offended them while promoting the most base and counter civilized impulses you probably can get tons of government money from various art galleries.

So let’s see if you have any real [necessary equipment]*.

Let’s see if you will make something like this: The Bacon Cheese Burka. Why not actually do an art piece offensive to the one religion which really does subjugate women to second class status? more accurately to non person status altogether actually.

Why not show us how brave and counterculture you are by making a sculpture of a twice life size women in full Bacon cover with a cheese veil demonstrating the utter horror that is life in the Islamic world.

Will the brave artists of Paris, London, and New York rise to the challenge?

Who will dare to transgress this last boundary?

Anybody…?
