Art or Offensive

Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 5:02 PM by sleeves.

(I'm well aware that there are a lot or MCR haters on here, so please try to judge this fairly, and not dislike it just because gerard way is in it.)
The cover of Gerard Way's new comic, due out in October.

The actual Kennedy Assassination picture:

So what do you think? Is this art, or just flat out offensive? Do you think all re-enactments are offensive?

    Art....... i mean it's not like he put a comment on it saying "Fuck JFK"
    Reenactments aren't meant to make fun of things, just to remember
    whats wrong with that?

    I think it's art & it shouldn't be considered offensive. I think it would've considered offensive if something comical was added & as far as I can see there's nothing comical. It doesn't look like they're trying to make fun of JFK to me. It may be offensive to some people just because it's a little gruesome.

    It's art but it's a little weird that they did that to be honest

    i'm not personally offended, i just think it was in bad taste. i mean, if i dressed up as Sharon Tate (one of the Manson victims), laid down in a pool of fake blood and took a picture, that would piss people off. And the fact that Way is using it to sell a comic book is kind of weird too.

    i think art isnt offensive as long as you can simply see on the first look that its supposed to be art and nothing "serious" (dont get me wrong in here, art is a serious thing, sure, but I hope you get what I wanetd to say)
