A pig and a naked sumo

I'm no artist. My artistic ability starts and ends with my creative use of the 'f' word (sorry mum). But I, like many others, can appreciate something creative, something unique, something original, when I see it.

I know the Chinese have their own way of looking at things, but blow me down if a bald naked sumo staring into the dark abyss of a cancerous pig's backside is art. I mean, COME ON!!! And are they light bulbs shielding those pink fleshy growths? WTF? And what the hell is he looking for up there anyway?


Safe to say there'll be no more pork products of any kind for this Tai Tai.

Am I the only one that thinks this is taking the whole concept of art just a little too far?

OMG, that is just weird. I don't get this at all and they call this art. I'm with you, WTF!

Is that a real pig? I'm REALLY hoping it's plastic. There's something so tasteless about using a dead animal for that. Either eat it or leave it alone.

I think this is one of those "installations" (for they love that word) that is meant to get attention and start conversations.

Strange!! Peculiar... maybe too deep for me?!
I'll still eat pork belly and bacon though. I'm tough!
