    Cats away! Artist turns his dead pet into flying helicopter after it is killed by a car



    Many animal lovers find it hard to part with their pets when they die.

    So when cat Orville, named after the famous aviator Orville Wright, was run over by a car, his artist owner decided to turn him into a permanent piece of artwork as the ultimate tribute by transforming him into a flying helicopter.

    Dutch artist Bart Jansen first stuffed Orville before teaming up with radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman to build a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.

    Very strange indeed:eek:

    June 4, 2012: Judgement Day.

    That's the day the lolcatz became sentient, and took on material form. After that, it was only a matter of time before the human race was all but annihilated.

    "This is just so wrong. I've been lucky enough to have looked after two cats, whom I loved dearly. I miss them very much & still have the ashes of my last tabby cat Treacle, because I couldn't bear to bury her & then leave her in the garden. When we moved house 'she' came with us. I would never have used their bodies like this, it is awful. This is not art, it's sick."

    She dug up the body of her dead cat when she moved house and shes calling him sick.. :confused:

    Artists are so up their own hole. Anyone else does something like that they are an idiot to most people. Artist does it and its profound and meaningful.

    Next he'll he smearing his shít on the wall and calling it an exposition of the preconception of the identity of the human psyche. When really they just think everything they do is amazing even smearing shít on a wall.

    Fcukin artists.

    Artists know what they're doing and want to try and push the limits and create different things.
    Clearly you're not a very creative person if you speak so negatively about them.
    Tell me this, could you have thought of making something like this or do you totally lack the imagination to do so?
    I think it's a strange thing to do but it looks really cool.
    I'd argue that it's better then stuffing the cat and having it sit there all boring and actually do something interesting with him.

    Fcukin unimaginative people.

    Artists are unproductively imaginative. An engineer or chemist imagines and creates something useful. An artist shits on a tray and calls it 'imaginative' and 'pushing the limits'.

    Pushing the limits? Yeah. Of your rectum.
