Using dead people to sell toothpaste

When I was recently in Miami I saw an ad for Bodies, the art show that uses cadavers. Generally I have mixed feelings about this kind of work but the goulish treatment of this work in Miami was in very poor taste. It seems the bodies are being used to attract people to the local shops. That just ain't right.

My entire family went to BodyWorlds 3 at Science World here in Vancouver, mtippett. I read all the great reviews, even heard my kids speak about their experience with awe. But just couldn't go.

And looks like the Miami version was a clear turn-off. Thanks for putting this up and reminding our members that any form of human experience - even going to an art gallery - is a great place to start a conversation on nowpublic.com
