It's Sarah Palin, but is it Art?

Art Installation Featuring Sarah Palin Hunting

Artist Dawn Robyn Petrlik has created an art installation in Brooklyn, NY, featuring a cardboard cut-out of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Visitors can hold a cardboard gun and have their pictures taken with likenesses of Palin and her daughter Piper, as well as a fake dead caribou. Petrlik explains, "Glorifying hunting is unnecessary, and a little scary for someone who would be our leader."

Speaking of glorifying hunting, have you seen Palin's new tote bag, which says, "Real Women Hunt Moose"?

I think this artist is just trying to get attention by doing all the stupid things. Pathetic. I’d love to see Dawn Robyn Petrlik in the next episode of Saw; maybe she’ll learn some valuable lessons about how precious a life is? hopefully..
