Astronaut Suicides - 08-08-2011, 09:12 PM


Came across this and had to share:

Astronaut Suicides


**warning** while most of the pictures are intended to be funny, there are a few that are graphic and may be disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

Creative, but I would warn those of an extra sensitive nature NOT to view these images.

Some are slightly graphic and could be disturbing.

Just say'n.

very creative in deed. I like the one with him holding the glock the most. The flag upside down in the background just sums it all up.

Meaning: Flying the American Flag upside down is a sign of distress it is not a sign of disrespect. Burning the American Flag without separating the union from the stripes is a sign of disrespect.

My wife keeps asking our son what he is going to be when he grows up...

My response is always "Not an astronaut".

I like the series.

Funny you should mention that. Just a couple days ago my wife made a comment about our son being an astronaut one day. I said "Not until the current administration changes!"

I really like this too, great concept - as political and touchy as it is.

I think that's what is so great about this series though. You can look at it making a statement in many different ways. I enjoyed it.

Pretty cool series, I just noticed that the car used is a "galaxie". Nice touch.
