It's really quite shocking. I don't believe I'm easily shocked either, so I really think there must be something past the line of "risqué" here.]]>Jul 25th 2007 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/this is kind of creepy in my opinion.
actually, any form of animal abuse/exploitation is wrong in my opinion.

Oh he didn't because the damn thread isn't even about people. Hence the topic wasn't brought up.

I love the people who post on Engadget.

Don't personify every dead organism and make ridiculous comparisons to a similar treatment of a human life. If it was an insect or a bacteria I doubt you'd even bother posting.]]>Jul 26th 2007 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/The Sphincter-Server.

@terrelbot
you wouldnt call it a creative idea if that was a family members corpse who'd been dug up... its sick and unnecessary. It is purely for shock appeal and the exploitation of any being (living or dead) is disgusting.

@Jeremy H
"If he were [humanely] anesthetized then [painlessly] euthanized, I figure he wouldn't have much of an opinion on the matter."

But i figure there would be a huge outcry at the sick twisted maniacal actions of this individual had he been using a human body. But since its an animal lower than humans who cares its art.

PLEASE don't try and judge art.

This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. If art is not for consumption by the general public, why did this thing ever leave this guy's basement? It's obvious that Engadget readers have properly judged the artist on technical merit: it's controlled by servos, not galvanism, negating the very premise of the piece. It's also poorly assembled (wire ties? wtf?).

So what you're essentially saying is that these things take a back seat to the concept, and that we feebleminded readers don't have the capacity to understand the concept?

what does my feelings towards the treatment of animals have anything to do with me being on the web? please explain maybe i am too logical of a being to be able to make the connection. But if this were a case of people arguing over OSX vs Windows it would be okay for me to use the web because it is much more intelligent and more important to open discussion about whose flavor of OS is better than how we should treat other animals.]]>Jul 26th 2007 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/Jul 27th 2007 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/Jul 27th 2007 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/twitching-frog-server-gets-called-art/Aug 23rd 2007 11:19PM
