Yep, Somebody Put Bacon in Wine
Check for this one next time you are in the local wine shop — and then smash every bottle you see, so no human ever has to suffer the humiliation of actually drinking it.
We begged you to stop bacon in everything. We pleaded. We said enough. We said the bacon explosion was gross enough. We said stop making other things out of bacon, like this bust of Kevin Bacon made from bacon. We said the candy and gum and toothpaste was enough. We said the vodka made us want to swear off drinking.
But you didn’t listen. You put bacon in wine.
Men at Twerk: A time-lapse video of a hunter butchering his deer
This grotesquely beautiful video by photographer Wesley Rose does not shy away from nor glorify its subject matter, a hunter skinning and breaking down his kill. Rose shot about an hour and forty minutes of footage and compressed it to the one minute and thirty you can watch below, with a soundtrack that can just as easily be twerked to as butchered to. It’s certainly stylized, and the black and white probably goes a ways toward making it less gruesome than it otherwise would have been, but as the title, “Dinner.” suggests, this is a visual exploration of the process of a wild animal becoming just that, dinner.
