Shoot an Iraqi in Real Time

Most of the time I forward crude jokes or funny pictures but in this case I thought you may find this political art project of interest.  This Iraqi performance artist has a bedroom setup with a paintball gun attached to the internet where anonymous people can shoot at him.  The political and social subtext is not very subtle but still very effective.  Checkout the Chicago Tribune slideshow for commentary from the artist, Wafaa Bilal, himself.

Compelling food for thought as you head into the weekend.....
Be safe
