Isn’t it rad the sheer quantity of weird shit you can find on the internet, particularly art these days. There’s so many weirdos out there doing any number of sick things to themselves (or insects), for the sake of art. Take the Dead Fly art for example, some bored asshole had too much time on his hands so he decided to gather a bunch of fly’s, kill them, then position them in any number of sick fetish positions, photograph it, and post it on the internet. I mean to be honest they’re pretty f**ken funny, my personal favourite is the dead fly riding a horse (above) – hilarious – but if there’s people out there doing this sort of art, it makes you wonder what some of the real weirdos are doing (and when do we get to see)?

By the way, I tried to track down the Dead Fly weirdo to credit these photos, but couldn’t find the little bugger anywhere. So if anyone knows who it might be, please comment on this one and help me out (I think he might be Swedish). At the very least I’d like to find out how he gathered the fly’s, but for now we can only hope they died of natural causes (fat chance)…
