File this under "something we'd never even think of doing... ever!" Dutch Artist Bart Jansen turned his dead cat into a helicopter! Upset after losing his cat, Orville, after it was hit by a car, Jansen decided to stuff his pet and transform his body into a remote-controlled helicopter.
Aptly named the "Orvillecopter," the half-cat, half machine even made its debut at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam last weekend. But he doesn't fly perfectly quite yet. But Jensen plans to fix that problem as soon as he can. "He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday,” Jansen said. Do you think turning your dead cat into a helicopter is a cool way to keep him around -- or is it just plain creepy?

+9Strikes me as a little disrespectful, it's a carcass, put him in the ground, let him decompose and give back to the earth.
In a Norwegian newspaper, Jansen said this was his way of honouring his dead friend, but I still think it's disrespectful and wrong. It's just plain disgusting. I'm not a very serious person, but even I think that some boundaries you shouldn't overstep.
No one should date this person !
seriously ..
there's truly some disturbing things 'exhibited' as art in the past few decades ..
macabre, nasty, horrific ..
Quite frankly ..
this is not as much 'art' ..
as engaging in some odd, creepy form of (for lack of a better term) obsession (based in grief?)
