You’re going to die

, , , ,

This video has been around for a long time, but it’s still making the rounds. The MGM Lion discusses the philosophy of death. It’s a surreal, darkly funny examination of what death is like. Yet the MGM Lion is strangely reassuring with a potentially grim subject. You may not agree with the lion’s assertion, but you have to admit it’s food for thought.

The speaker is American philosopher Vito Acconci. The video was created by American artist Timothy Furstnau.

,

When elementary school kids put on a school play, it’s usually about Christmas, George Washington, or good nutrition. These little kids put on a different production: a famous scene from Oliver Stone’s “masterpiece” Scarface. As anyone who’s seen this violent flick knows, this movie probably has more F-words packed into the dialogue than any other film. So, these young thespians insert the word “fudge” to get past the censors. Say hello to my little friend.
