Bloggers Against Bodies Revealed!!!
It's nice to know I'm not the only blogger who cares about dead brown people being exploited.
Recently, there has been a backlash among local bloggy folks who have show a bit of concern about the probability (likelihood) that the bodies in Bodies Revealed have come from executed Chinese Prisoners despite the unchallenged protestations of Union Station officals.
Here's the list and it's growing:
Alonzo Washington came out against Bodies Revealed over the weekend.
And now two more have written posts regarding their concerns over the exhibit.
Logtar lets loose with an awesome post against the "creepy and disrespectful" display.
And Bea's Weblog, AUTHORED BY A BIOLOGIST, writes a wonderful post noting that she believes "that human beings deserve a little bit of dignity even in their graves."
And I can only hope that more bloggers in Kansas City raise their voices in opposition or at least post their questions about this exhibit that is relying on a repressive Communist regime in order to certify the consent of the people used in the exhibit.
I can't imagine that most of the d-bags who comment on my blog and don't care about the lives or dignity of people put on display for this town's amusement really represent Kansas City.
I have no illusion that bloggers will stop this expensive exhibit at (financially strapped and utterly desperate) Union Station but I do know that speaking up or using a blog to write concerns about the cadaver carnival act is much better than being silent.
Any KC blogger who posts their opposition or critical questions about the display please let me know and I would be more than happy to link. A BIG THANKS to Logtar, Bea and Alonzo for being brave enough to write down their thoughts.

Big deal
I'm for the exhibition, I actually can't wait to go and see it. Have you seen it? I didn't think so, perhaps you should write more rants about other things that you have never seen, only read about. Serisouly, they're celebrations of human life, the same way that a gravestone celebrates human life, or that the Liberty Memorial celebrates it. I don't read this for ranting, more for different ideas, let's keep it less emotional so that I can keep reading.
Aww I was hoping to cause a shit storm with my comments but they are all gone..poop. Thanks again you heartless bastard. How am I going to get people to hate me like they seem to hate you if I get all of my angry comments removed? Huh can you tell me that funny man?
Seriously though. Are we sure that the prisoners DIDN'T leave their body to IACA? (International Association of Chinese Art)
They could have written a will stating just that (since my keyboard doesn't do Chinese text I'll just explain the characters) Upside down house with a dog in it, rooster with one leg picture frame.= I leave my body to IACA.
See has anyone checked that?
Keep up the buzz. Union Station thanks you.
blacks and spics oppose it. I guess that means it must be worthwhile.
Don't you people do anything more than complain.
If you spent as much time working on your own countries than maybe you wouldn't be here trying to tell us how to run ours. It's a disgrace that you can't find anything productive to do Tony.
Tony - I'd like to see you do a post about what you actually like about Kansas City, since you seem to hate just about everything in it.
I can't wait for this exhibit!
I don't think Kansas City doesn't respect live. Just some of Tony's readers.
Good luck with this campaign. Maybe you'll have more success than that recall effort. Seems that the most influential blog in KC isn't really influential at all.
Lol. Peeps in this town sure do get their panties in bunch, don't they? LOVE it!
how's that recall effort going anyway? let's let Tony himself tell the tale:
December: "Funky acolytes once laughed off talk of recall. Now, not so much....
January: "The Recall of Mayor Funkhouser is underway and I would be remiss if I didn't provide a way for TKC readers to get involved and become part of local history..."
Early February: "It was a surreal moment but one that tells me that this recall effort is a lot more substantial than what has been depicted by the media..."
Mid-February: "..."
I'm going!
Worst. Blog. Ever.
Why aren't you posting about the failure of the recall effort tony....do you feel stupid and refuse to admit it.
Hey Tony,
Maybe you and your friends should pay closer attention. The exhibit coming to Union Station contains specimens that WILLINGLY DONATED THEIR BODIES TO SCIENCE AND EDUCATION.
If ya don't like it, don't go see it, but keep blogging .... as the more you stir it up, the more curious people get.
I'm really looking forward to going to this. BTW, they are yellow people. Not brown.
But good luck with your crapaign. You have shown, vis a vis the powerful thunder of the now neutered recall debacle, what an imposing political powerhouse the blog is.
The people are dead and gone. They are beyond caring.
These are nothing more than left-over meat-puppets.
Besides, look at it this way...they get to spend eternity in Show Business entertaining folks! They're celebrities! People pay to come and see them! Bloggers blog about them!
Seems to me that's a lot more dignified than being worm food.
Meat Puppets would be a good band name.
I'm kinda curious myself why the dumbshit isnt saying anything about the recall failure. What say you Tony? Who's to blame on this one?
I can almost hear it now.
Well I do declare! I would never support the Chinese government in such a manner. Why, that would be as bad as filling my 5,000 square foot home with all types of easily affordable Chinese-made goods procured at bargain prices on the backs of abused Chinese laborers. And none of you armchair activists has done THAT, now have you? Situational ethics are fun, ain't they?
"I'm kinda curious myself why the dumbshit isnt saying anything about the recall failure. What say you Tony? Who's to blame on this one?"
IT'S DA WHITE FOLK! DEY DA DEBIL! DAY EBIL! DAY HATE DA BROWN PEEBLES!
Sorry Tony. Don't mean to put words in your mouth. I'll let you respond yourself.
TKC is really taking it in the shorts about the failed recall. XO has just clowned on Tony as well. Things are looking bleak in the blogosphere. Better organize a blogger meetup at The Record Bar to regroup.
Bwahahahahaha!!!!! Blogosphere!!!
Here's an idea. If everyone offers excuses for the recall failure Tony will be hard pressed to come up with something original. Making his pea brain work harder is the least we could do.
Yo, Tony. Here's an idea for you -- and Alonzo, and Bea, and Logtar, and anyone else who has a gripe about the alleged use of Chinese prisoners in the exhibit.
Check the manufacturer's label on your laptop. Or your shirt. Or your sofa. Notice how the words "Made in China" are on all of them? Notice how hypocritical it is rail against the exhibit while wearing a shirt, or using a laptop, or sitting on a sofa that's made in China? Nobody forced you to buy those items, right?
Now go on and tell me how much distaste you have for the Chinese. Better yet, why not head down to the local cafe for a nice glass of shut the hell up?
MD
MD - better yet...if the cadavers on display at Union Station really were Chinese prisoners...what are the chances that one of them actually assembled and shipped TKC's PC?
Hey Tony! Can you vouch for the provenance of every component in the PC that you blog from?
Can you prove that none of the circuits in your PC were manufactured by one of the cadavers on display at Union Station?
Are you willing to shut down your blog in solidarity with the brown skinned zombie corpses that made TKC possible?
Ruh-roh!
Tony ... I think they're on to you!
(Taking a while to get the hint, ain'tcha children?)
Tony at this rate you've bot me curious and I don't think I would have even thought twice about going to the event.
Let Tiny and his band of amigos go out naked and protest in front of Union Station.
That'll stop anyone in their tracks
These arent chinese they're illegal brown people that COHO failed to organize.
It's the OTHER bodies exhibit that displays executed Chinese prisoners.
nice one Tony.
Note that the company putting on this exhibit says the bodies were from willing donors OR were unclaimed. This is China folks... when money is involved the "unclaimed" time period is about five minutes or just enough time to get the dead out of their prison uniforms and into street clothes. No way I'll attend this macabre joke.

DKC,
nobody gives a fuck what some shit pushing tard like yourself is doing with your time. by not going to this exhibit, you will have more time for your vapid fucking comments on TKC. we all win.
I support you, Tony. I wouldn't go see "Bodies Revealed" if I was paid to do it. Where is any semblance of human decency in regards to this ghoulish exhibit? I can't find it. It dismays me to see the widespread indifference expressed by most Kansas Citians, but I'm glad to see there's somebody in this town who respects the dead and feels human rights abuses shouldn't be glossed over.
A New Day Has Dawned in Connecticut
By the time this is printed the 1st Annual Quinebaug Valley Community College Arts & Science Entertainment Expedition to see the flayed, sliced and diced human beings on display at the “Bodies Revealed exhibit by Premier Exhibitions” in Hartford will have set off for fun and games! Tittering students will drive off to Hartford to stare, ogle and gawk to the full extent of their school-funded discount price. What a bargain! Where else, for only ten U.S. Dollars, can you see humans scientifically, but artfully, ripped open, cut into pieces and posed in oh so delicate ways without all that bloody mess that usually accompanies such activities? Why, it's almost religious in the experience!
Somebody ought to market this, they could make a mint. Besides being fun it could perform a valuable public service. Just imagine Plastinating Body Shop franchises popping up next to McDonalds everywhere. Bring in your dead, and for less than the cost of a funeral, plastinate that loved one for permanent display as a lawn ornament. Wonderful! Put wheels on them so they can be easily taken in and out of storage. Pose them in their favourite team's uniform, and trot them out for every home game! Take them to tailgating parties! Use them to scare off burglars, or crows. Or, for sweet revenge, pose and dress them in embarrassing positions! Oh, wouldn't that be a riot at the next tea and tart social?
Why, that gives me another great idea! Excess humans can be plastinated and set up as chess pieces for life-size games in every public park. In fact, all those tenement eyesores can be bulldozed for new flower filled plazas. No more noisy neighbours! What's not to love?
There is no shortage of superfluous people to use as raw material. Look at all the degenerates that clog up our communities, lowering property values and endangering our children. They could finally be doing something worthwhile, and it would make every neighborhood a pleasant place to live. And, oh my, wouldn't it be lovely to not have to listen to them rant anymore? There is just so much noise and argument in this world that we can never get any thing done, or have any proper peace and quiet. If we could have all the rabble rousers, misfits and freaks cleaned up, dressed properly and hair done stylishly, but conventionally – and oh yes, all those nasty tattoos and piercings covered over and filled in with some new People-Plaster product (which, by the way, opens the door to more new financial opportunities) – we can finally enjoy life without all that squalour and clamour. In fact, it would be restfully quiet now that only the soft strands of intellectual music would fill the air; no more screeching or awful explosions of bass guitars and raucous drumming blasting from boom-boxes and car stereos.
Instead of always releasing those dirty, uncouth criminals back into the public when their sentences are finished, we could finally be rid of their hurtful insanities while still preserving their beauty. You have to admit, some of those bad boys & girls would be just so deliciously sexy if they were cleaned up, and shut up. Why, I imagine a special adults-only playset would be a hot seller. Of course, those bodies would have to easily store in the bedroom closet, but I'm sure that won't be a problem for our good old American ingenuity. The possibilities are endless! Imagine: automated plastinated bodies for fortune telling booths, carnival scare houses and school biology classes. Stick a computer brain in their heads and we can have plastinated bodies as casino card dealers, toll booth attendants, theater ticket takers and factory assembly line workers. There is also the fantastic opportunity for numerous spin-off products to keep the bodies new and shiny, and to fix the inevitable wear and tear marks!
Don't forget, they could also be performing a great human service: before we plastinate them we can use their healthy organs for medical transplant in order to save the lives of the more respectable folk, like us.
Yes, let's finally do something about all the crazy protesters, smelly riff-raff and illegal immigrants clogging up our communities with all their poverty, addictions and bad manners. I think Plastinating Body Shops is the wave of the future. Not only will it be educational and artistic, it will be fun too!
But we better get crackin' 'cause China has a head start on us, and just look at the horde of people they can turn into plastic. Why, they could flood the market before we even get started!
