Art. I don't get it.

It's a play on words, from the widely-repeated Republican mantra, "Drill, baby, drill," first uttered by Michael Steele, then popularized by Sarah Palin during the Vice Presidential debate.

Drill Baby can't compete with Oogachucka Baby.

Castro is contained, not leaking into the ocean.

Ah.. Thank you. At least I understand it now.
Still lame in my opinion.

Personally, I find the oil stuff irrelevant, but the baby itself creeps me right the hell out. It looks too real, and too dead.

:yesnod:

Went to the art gallery again today. The sculpture bought by the local gallery is called Big Mother. It's a primate with highly developed mammary glands standing up and holding a baby. Like Drill Baby, the skin and hair looks completely real.

Drill baby would be cooler if it were constantly turning like a drill bit.

Big Mother is #$%&ing freaky. And very well presented.

No, Drill Baby isn't drilling, it's being drilled. That's the whole point.

Creepy!

Is "drilled" slang for tattooed?

Big Mother looks like a Mystic from Dark Crystal.

I don't think so, at least not that I've heard.
The baby represents the Gulf of Mexico, the tattoos represent the sullying by BP. Kind of a tree hugger position, considering we've been crapping on that particular baby for hundreds of years, but that's his statement on the oil spill.
