Zbigniew Libera lives in Warsaw. During the late communist period in Poland, Libera served time in prison for drawing cartoons the regime judged "pornographic." However, the end of the Cold War and Poland's new freedom have provided him with the opportunities to travel, interact with the most avant-garde currents in modern art, and exhibit in the United States. Libera's focus is on commercialization and its impact on popular culture, as well as a vitriolic commentary on institutions with which he had to grow up. The result has been a well-defined pop art form, which perhaps establishes a limit in pop-art representation and at the same time provokes many questions of discourse about the Holocaust.

From the perspective of the Holocaust, Libera's most provocative—and some might say most outrageous work—is Lego (1996), a seven-box limited edition of three LEGO sets of a concentration camp. Libera worked with the LEGO Corporation of Denmark to produce boxes which looked like "normal" LEGO systems. Inside were the bricks and other pieces to construct the concentration camp shown on the cover. The outer box looks like a normal LEGO box except in the upper left corner—instead of the "system number" is the inscription: "This work of Zbigniew Libera has been sponsored by LEGO."

Alstone, England - An adolescent Charolais bull that already weighs 3,000 pounds in southwestern England is on target to claim Britain's bovine heavyweight title within a year.

Arthur Duckett, 78, bought the 6-year-old bull called The Field Marshall two years ago to keep as a pet near the town of Alstone.

Duckett owned the current record-holder, The Colonel, who weighed 3,500 pounds and stood 6-foot-5. However, because The Field Marshall will keep growing for about two more years, Duckett said he's bound to break the old record and gain at least another 650 pounds.

"He is already heavier than the average car," he said. "When he gets angry he can do some real damage, although he is very good tempered."

The big bull isn't fed a special diet, and each day eats 17 pounds of a mixture of barley, corn and sugar beets.

Hmm... I think this teaches us all a great moral lesson. Crocodiles are great at pretending they are injured.

What a privilege to be able to live in the same world as these people. My favorite was the circle K guy. I'd like him to rob me a couple times a week.

Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight*

Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against an African Lion
Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they "could out-wit and out-muscle it.”

Unfortunately, he was wrong.


* even more unfortunately, this is a hoax. Funny though.

I'm glad that midget story wasn't true.

Come on man. Why you hatin on the lion vs midget deathmatch? Were it true, I bet it would have been the most solid entertainment since the spectacles of Rome. I would have pay-per-viewed it.
