Just read it in the paper, Ch4 is looking for terminally ill people to let them film them die then gradually rot away. Partly for TV and the whole reality TV thing, partly for scientists so they can see what really happens when you become a corpse. Supposedly it'll be in some museum aswell so you can go watch it err live, pardon the err pun :)


Partly sick, but partly interesting
 
Disgusting...I'm glad we don't get that kind of stuff here on local cable.

The channel are always doing things like this. Ratings war brought on by everyone switching to cable.

Artistic point of view though, seeing the different stages of decay would actually be useful, just not really my cup of tea, I'll probably still need to watch it.. You'd be surprised how often people can ask to draw pictures of the decaying human body lol

Be great reference material for Zombie mods too ;)

haha.. Yeah, it usually starts like that, clients never really know the best way to ask without you pulling a face at them...then adding an extra $100 on the cost cause you "find it disturbing" works everytime ;)

Just when I thought reality TV in the states reached rock-bottom, I hear this.

I wish I could construct a time machine and strangle the creators of 'The Real World'. Bastards started it all.

It'll stop soon, the next big thing will come along and all the production companies will jump on that bandwagon. Only needs to be cheaper than reality TV and popular.

I vote for the testcard!
 
Reminds me of The Korperwelten/Body Worlds exibit. Yes, those are real, preserved, human bodies, all donated by the original owners for this exhibit. There are some very stranges posings and slicings. Some will find it disturbing, but its very interesting stuff if you ask me.

Attached is an image from the website. Probably best to not to open it if you're squeemish.

Ahh yeah, seen those, weird shit they are.

Oh and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.. there's a sickly sweet smell in that exhibition.. those things are still rotting regardless what people say :p
 
Just thought.. wasn't there another type of "art" like that aswell? Not as popular though.. AFAIK there was something like that.. I think.

Too many people try to pass things off as 'art'
