I Wouldn't Hang That In My Rumpus Room

abort_binky.jpg Iowahawk's satire is right on the money with this comic-book ad parody aimed at the Yale Art School student who artificially inseminated herself multiple times, then induced miscarriages in order to "encourage discussion" of abortion.

As a former art student, I can't tell you how tedious (and typically batshit insane) the attention-junkies behind these sorts of political "art" statements can be, as well as the professors who encourage them. All I wanted to do was learn how to paint, draw, and illustrate. Instead, I got 3 years of forced indoctrination. UItimately, I had to transfer to a tech college and get an electronics degree in order to clear my brain.
