Pigs worship God of Materialism

If ever there was a god to prevent you from worshiping material things, it would be this one.

The hideous pig-like thing is the masterpiece by Chinese artist Chen Wenling called God Of Materialism.

 

Looking chuffed, the huge greedy pig has minions of other tiny, and just as unattractive and scary, pigs worshiping in awe at its heels.

 

The group stare up at their master, adorned with a plethora of jewels and necklaces representing the grotesque love of material things.

 

The sculpture, which looks like a bad dream, can be found at the Asia Art Centre in Beijing.

I copied the entire text of the news (you dont need to open it).

"insulting pigs" is  forbidden in TC (although I am not sure that news is insluting the pigs)?{#lang_emotions_unsure}

Violence at West Bank olive harvest
Jewish settlers attacked several peace activists during the annual harvest in Hebron [Reuters]

Jewish settlers have been caught on camera punching and kicking two news photographers and a British woman who was helping Palestinians pick olives near a West Bank town.

The Israeli police responded to the situation on Saturday by stopping the harvest.

The scuffle near the town of Hebron was the latest in a series of incidents blamed on settlers trying to disrupt the annual harvest which provides a livelihood for many Palestinians.

The settlers claim the trees are on Israeli land and the harvest is illegal.

Bush officials ´endorsed torture´
Human rights groups say that waterboarding 
amounts to  torture [AFP]

The Bush administration endorsed the use of waterboarding against al-Qaeda suspects in secret memos to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Washington Post has reported.

The pair of classified memos, written in 2003 and 2004, were requested by George Tenet, former CIA chief, more than a year after secret interrogations got under way, the newspaper quoted administration and intelligence officials as saying.

The Post reported on Wednesday that the CIA required cover from the White House due to concerns of a possible backlash if details on harsh interrogation methods went public.
