Warnography
/ arbel ratzin
War is raging, bombs are falling, people are
dead and we sit in front of the glowing TV screen masturbating to it.
We know it's wrong but we still enjoy it.
Since
the second war in Iraq, we are used to seeing everything. Reporters from all
over the globe joined troops on the ground, fighting to “save democracy”
and kick Sadam's ass. Everyone, all over the world, felt erected when the
phallic statue of Iraq's formal ruler was put down. On that day, the free
world's cock was bigger and stronger than Sadam's, the leader that who, more
than any other crazed ruler, looked most like a porn star from the 70's.
We all drooled over those S&M pictures from Abu Ghraib.
We all came to a climax when Sadam was hanged.
But after we cum, the porn's got nothing more to give us. We never cared about
the plot. And so, the public became bored by the Iraq's warnography.
Now,
there are bombs on Gaza, killing hundreds of innocent people. Missiles on
Israel, and people are afraid. The world is reaching its' fingers down the
panties getting horny by the reporters standing by the border or duck for
cover when the siren goes off.
They even have a VOD channel in Israel where you can see how Gaza is being
bombed from the comfort of your couch. And we do. We watch.
Sitting there waiting, anxious, with stupid grins on our faces, looking for
that “money shot” - the white flag, a dead body, ruines of cities,
of people. And after we're finished, we clean ourselves up and go back to
our normal lives, happy and calm, knowing we are better than “them”.
They say that when guns roar the muses are silent, but the “SpongePop”
artists won't be quiet.
Especially in times of war, we, as artists, have to show the real face of
war.
Instead of putting our finger up our asses , we will grab war by the balls,
make art with it, make fun of its' absurdity and wickedness and say to all
warmongers:
"Go fuck yourself!”

It was horror
she went into history and the room
he grabbed her and they touched each other
caresses along the curves of slippery slopes
their bodies pulsed again and again.
