Go Go Orville



Once again my wonderful boyfriend gave me this article, so hats off to him. Most of us remember the pain of the loss of a dear pet, we'll never forget that pet and nothing can replace a dear pet. Bart Jansen, a Dutch artist had to go through this pain as his pet cat Orville (named after the aviator Orville Wright) was run over. Well Mr. Jansen decided to have Orville stuffed, which sounds fine. This is when it gets weird, Jansen teamed up with a radio controlled helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman. Well Arjen helped Jansen, he tuned Orville into a helicopter. This is a part of Jansen's art, so Orville now is art.

Now my thoughts on this, this is fucking creepy. I know its funny, gave me a smile when I first saw it. Still this is fucking creepy, a Orvillecopter. What the hell was this guy trying to do, turn his dead cat into cyborg that would destroy mankind or the next Inspector Gadget. Whatever his reasons for this was, he's a fucking nut. I have heard of animal lovers and pet lovers, even saw the Showtime Bullshit! episode with pet lovers. There I saw how some people take their love for pets to a whole new level, one guy had even designed a line of fake testicles for animals. I don't know why Jansen did this, I would have been okay if he just had Orville stuffed. People do crazy things and Mr. Jansen has done it in spades, if its art I just don't get it.
