He even admits in the commercials for his series that he’s been on the inside.  He’s going to “expose”  all these ridiculous conspiracies to distract you from the real secret agenda of the government:  Replacing meat with tofu.

Jesse Ventura, the governments newest distractor.

I found this on another blog, along with a lot of other cool pictures.

Meat - now in oversaturated 50s color!

I didn’t think I’d find Meat Jesus on the Internet, but I did.

Finally, I get around to writing a bit about my favorite 20th century artist, Francis Bacon.  I have long been fascinated with his delicately executed yet highly disturbing images.  Best of all, his name is Bacon.  And he painted many images of meat!  What could go better on SSG?

Images in this post have been borrowed from http://www.francis-bacon.cx/ which I highly recommend.

Francis Bacon circa 1980

I was going to include a brief biography, but Wikiepdia does an excellent job if you’re interested:

Francis Bacon (Painter)

Now, on to the important part – the paintings.  Although not meat-themed, Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion is his first important work, and is an excellent introduction to his style and techniques.

Part 2

Part 3

I see a lot of meaty shapes and colors in those images.  But it gets better.  Painting, 1946 is a full-blown meat festival, respendent with carcasses and entrails.

Painting, 1946

Bacon had preoccupations with many different images he had seen during his life.  One of those images was a portrait of Pope Innocent X by Valazquez.  Below is the original painting.

And here is one of Bacon’s works based on that painting, Figure with Meat.  Great title!

If you find his paintings fascinating, as I do, use the links included above to explore and discover more.  Bacon is yummy!

Postscript:

I just found this image.  I’m very excited.  I’ve never seen this before.  A photograph of Francis Bacon with meat.

If you’re familiar with Weebl and Bob (and you should be!) you may know that Weebl also hosts other non-Weeble and Bob videos.  This one is about meat!  Click on the image or the link to watch the cartoon.

Hey Let's Eat Meat Yeah!

This is probably not really acceptable in the United States.

OBEY MY DOG!!!

Yes indeed, obey my dog.

Breakfast anyone?

No comment.  Really.  We here at SSG wouldn’t want to start any incidents or anything.

The next post of hilarity will have to wait until tomorrow since I remembered something that really needed to be re-posted after the blog rebuild.

It all began with this story.  Even more entertaining, however, the screenplay!

They’re Made Out of Meat

You can get full screen mode if you go to the atom page for it.  Sorry, it sucks that doesn’t work with the embed. *sigh*

And now for a few more bacon sightings:

• xkcd (even though I think it has jumped the shark)
• Unlikely Words entries tagged bacon.  Man, is this guy good.  Bacon tuxedo?  Gummy bacon?    Baconnaise?  Genius.
• Bacon scarf.  Got there from the page above but damn this thing is so good.  I want one.  Too bad I remain highly employable at the moment.

Aaand more fun tomorrow kids.
