Is this supposed to be some commentary about how all our presidents have been ham-eaters? Hmmm...

Suppose anyone nowadays can make silly things like this and call it art. Shame, that.

Ha, you're welcome. And sorry Alex, I didn't mean to be an ass. Keep up the great work, I have really been enjoying your site.

Hope I don't sound like a pork nazi, but those aren't ham hocks.

I am now inspired to do a presidential spam piece.

Thanks, SuperCrap, for the idea.

Is there a way to rate these down? So much uber-boring 'post-modern art' rubbish gets posted here... Isn't it just spam? It feels like there is an underlying commercial agenda with many of these 'art' posts that don't seem to be particularly noteworthy/newsworthy/remarkable projects. For example, if someone discovered a cache of old Van Gogh paintings that were lost, that is the sort of thing I would expect to be posted here, or the post about artists' pallette's from before, that was super cool. "Artist X is doing project Y" sure seems like just plain old spam.

@gil
Take your pathetic off-topic spam elsewhere. Try Digg.com they thrive on morons or twelve year olds or both - so you should fit right in.

All I can think is that the fish look like Voldemort!

LOL @ VonSkippy and Gil. That's a link to a site featured on Neatorama 2 weeks ago! (Albiet, that *particular* link is to a specific users city, increaing their industry stat).

But the fish do look like Seaman fish. I wonder is that's where the game creators got the idea.

I, for one, welcome our new fishy masters.

I can't believe I am the first to say, "Creepy". I am not sure I would stay in the same room as them for very long.

Get 'em VonSkippy!

Definitely made me think of Seaman. Crazy!

Yummy?

Von Skippy was referring to a spam comment that has since been deleted.

My brain must not be working right. I've seen this clip so many times and they don't look like human faces at all to me. They look like fishes, not creepy ones, not scary in anyway. Just fish. What am I missing? I don't get it. :(

There's nothing special about those fish. Koi have had "human faces" forever. It's just an illusion of their scale coloration.

I took this photo of one at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center last year.

Glad Im not the only one that thought Seaman when I saw this. I think mine is still happily living out his froggy life on a Dreamcast vmu somewhere

really creepy... is it a naturally occuring hybrid or a product of genetic manipulation?... actually either way I restate, really creepy!

For me, that is the stuff of nightmares.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

ew! gross! and weird! way to give us nightmares...

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

They remind me of the man-faced dog at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Angie, I think the fish were just cross bred.

Reminds me of Monthy Pythons Meaning of Life fish scene. Creepy! I'd be super freaked if I saw one of these while snorkling around!

Thanks for the nightmares. :P

meh.

Why is this so startling? They don't look all *that* human.

I just think it's funny that a person named "Gil" was making a comment in a thread about fish. Get it - gill?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Yeah, I don't think they look that human either. Maybe a little more like and animal than an average fish but not human. That's just my opinion. The video is not real clear. Maybe in "person" they look better.

Does anyone remember those "Animorph" books? I know the final one's a lizard (negative capability) but the third/fourth pic is a complete match http://www.scholastic.com/animorphs/download/anim01.jpg
