Artist Begins Toy Solider Protest

Ben McGinty a artist and gallery owner is upset with the current status of the war in Iraq and has come up with his own way to protest the war.

He packaged up hundreds of toy soldiers already labeled with the President Bush address. He is asking people to come by pick up a toy and mail it to the president. He wants to give the President soldiers that do not really die to play with. He has put the toys in a large mesh solider in front of his gallery. So far the project has cost him $400.00 dollars

McGinty calls the mass mailing project 'March of the Toy Soldiers.'

The 43-year-old gallery owner says this form of protest feels more proactive than protesting on the street corner.

Ben McGinty is hoping this will get big and people all around the world will start sending the toys to the president. He is hoping the toys will accumulate to the point where officials at the White House will take notice.

Regardless if you agree or disagree you have to admit an artist imagination is amazing.

Artist protest alleged animal cruelty by eating a dog!!

What is with artists and eating strange things. This story is another one of those what were they thinking tales. Mark McGowan chowed down on a Corgi dog , the breed of dog Queen Elizabeth II favors as pets, to protest against the fact that Prince Philip, the queen's husband, had beaten a fox to death during a hunt.

The Corgi was minced with apple, onion and seasoning, turned into meatballs and served with salad.

McGowan said that he was not the only one to taste the meal supposedly Yoko Ono had a bite also. (Now we can hate her for more then just breaking up the Beatles.)

Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and Britain's top animal-protection charity said there was no evidence to support the claim that Prince Philip abused the fox in the first place.

Please note: Picture is not the actual dog used in the meal. However, his cuteness made the story even more sad.
