Description

What constitutes a weapon of mass destruction? Annual number of deaths attributable to poor diet and inactivity: 300,000 (from; http://www.obesityhelp.com/main-info-statistics.php) Deaths from atomic/nuclear strikes: 6 Aug. 1945 Atomic Bomb - Hiroshima 140,000 9 Aug. 1945 Atomic Bomb - Nagasaki 70,000 Death Toll from Terrorists (1972-2003) 12,000 (from:http://www.geocities.com/dtmcbride/hist/disasters-war.html) Deaths from Television 0 that I could find on the internet but how can you account for a slow,insidious brain death. perhaps a few people have been electrocuted or crushed by their televisions ^^

Witch hunt from catholic church, colts against the red indian and australian native, cyclon-b from german monsters and nukes at first from american.... This is the human being. (a big but only little profile of him, in his weird destruction of others...) /// Interesting and well done intention/ work!

Dear friend! This is another stunner! I love your satires, just keep them coming! Well, not only that, your work is courageously meaningful and reflective. What's the weapon of mass destruction? The dumbing down of the general public so that it is easier to brainwash, control and manipulate. I believe this is how our culture is being destroyed. thanx for your true vision and beautiful work sir! Another Vote!

Though I have never met you, I don't know you personally. I know that we share the same opinion on this and other matters. I have always held the stance that we are arrogant to think that as we are the only nation in the worlds history to use nuclear weapons against another nation. That some how we have a right to dictate who has such weapons and who doesn't. Artistically your piece is wonderful, the lighting, the pov, the obvious and not so obvious symbolism, perfect. Vote

Each element is well chosen and adds to the essay of our crimson soaked apathy. Well done

A solid composition. Colors and lighting are well done to enhance the mood. As for the content... To be honest, I don't really care for heavy-handed "message" art, but I respect that you have a point of view and are expressing it in a creative, positive way. My two suggestions would be to work the title into the TV screen and to deform the couch under the man -- it doesn't look like he has any weight, despite his girth. Bravo on your series, and keep channeling that energy into creative, positive outlets.
