Cake to raise awareness of female circumcision is disturbing as hell!

I’ve included a warning for your photo. Please don’t post things like this without a warning like that.

And a spoiler box so it complies with the two-click rule.

Cake is good. It’s just a pity it wasn’t about male circumcision so the eaters could be cockmunchers.

Really? For the world’s least realistic cake?

You know, without the clown make-up, and the neck rings, the figure itself actually looks a lot like the Venus of Willendorf, which was excavated in Austria in 1908.

Not a coincidence. The work was indeed based on the Venus of Willendorf:

Since the cake was to go on display in a museum, he [the artist] wanted to work with something from the Eurocentric discipline of Art History, and so chose the body of the ultimate canonical classic, Venus from Willendorf, the supposed origin of a story that has always excluded African or African-bodied voices.

Performance art FAIL.

Sort of reminded me of the character named Vulvain Spaced

Wow, fraught with subtle harkenings from our collective conscious.

Still, I guess I’d prefer cake to expired Spaghetti-Os (if anyone remembers “Interior Semiotics”).

Yeah, “subtle” was the first word that came to my mind as well.

This is like an anti-abortion group serving aborted fetus bloody marys, where a fake vagina dribbles out bloody marys with tiny plastic fetuses mixed in.

I so want to find fetus-shaped ice cube molds now.

And, yeah, that cake was certainly a disturbing piece of performance art. The photos made it look like it was a racist caricature, but I thought it worked as a live piece.

Meh, it’s no worse than Flag Fuck (w/ Beef) #17B. And that wasn’t even real.
