This one begins as a nice, normal book review, but then descends into blasphemy with a deluge of unholy imagery: there is a photo of a wristwatch made out of a penis, there’s a photo of a giant Mapplethorpe penis, then there’s Jesus all covered in urine, a cat gets buttfucked—it’s just a horrible post. Best to avoid. But if you want to check it out, here’s a sample:
The comment book in the gallery was filled with messages from visitors who were not pleased with my images and the pages were awash with new threats every day. It was hilarious. And it wasn’t long before the wristwatch and cat fucker photos simply disappeared. Gone. Stolen. The news even made the school paper, The Mustang Daily, in a story written by a ham-fisted journalism student:
Controversial Photos Taken From Library Art Gallery
By Alex Naughton
Someone has stolen the “kitty-pom” picture. For the second time in less than a year, art and design senior David Carnie has had some of his photographs removed from an exhibit displayed in the Photo Option gallery at Cal Poly’s Robert E. Kennedy Library.
… No one, except those responsible, knows where the pictures are or who took them. The pictures were called obscene by more than one exhibit viewer. One is of a man’s penis wrapped around his wrist with a watch-face drawn on it. The other is of a cat pulled up against a man’s naked groin, implying sodomy. Carnie said he noticed the pictures had been removed late last week. He said he is not bothered much by the disappearances; in fact, he thinks the effort might even be commendable.
