I love Art, but this "statement piece" makes me say "Eww!"

Artist Says She Made Pistol Out of Own Skin

"I made a pistol to express my concern about violence in society and to show the connection between what a pistol does and the human body," said Joanneke Meester said of the replica, which is about the size of a matchbox.

Most pistols do more than matchbox sized damage to a body.

"If everyone made a pistol from their own skin, I think they would think twice about using a gun. I think there would be less violence in the world," she said. "But it's not that easy. Violence will always exist."

Wow. What a bizarre way to rationalize a tummy tuck.

Well, sure. Who hasn't made a pistol out of his or her own skin?

Just goes to show, there's more than one way to skin a brat.

If it will make you feel better, just remember that this artwork -- and the artist -- will be forgotten by next week.
