home, severed/explosive home
1 - The severed roast duck head pictured above was found on the sidewalk outside my apartment in Downtown LA today. Sitting off-frame to the bottom left was a homeless man, his face broken, pockmarked and smeared with what I am assuming was duck grease. He seems satisfied, tosses crumbs at pigeons.
Meanwhile, the duck head seems to be smiling.
2 - The news article below was found on the internets:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A simulated suicide bombing will be filmed in downtown Los Angeles this weekend in a campaign by prominent Iraqis who want to dissuade the bombers who have wreaked a devastating toll on their country.The 60-second edited film, a simulation of a Baghdad marketplace bombing that will kill or injure 200 people, will air on Iraqi TV in six weeks. [full story]
3 - Crazy fucking town, right? Simulated horrors contest with actual ones for your attention, producing cognitive dissonances, leisure schizophrenias. Because even though it doesn't look like it from that lo-res snap, that duck was totally smiling at me.
