Do you know how I love the site Suicide Food? They put up and dissect (if you will) "depiction[s] of animals that act as though they wish to be consumed. Suicide Food actively participates in or celebrates its own demise."
It's an amazing collection of cartoon cows happily slicing their own mid-sections into steaks, smug pigs lounging luxuriously in barbecue pits, and chickens in aprons serving up buckets of wings. All befuddling. My Brooklyn neighborhood was known for its mom and pop salumerias, and had no shortage of its own contenders. But I think Japan, as it does, has taken the concept a step beyond.
I'm not sure if this needs explanation for full impact, but the newspaper ad the cows read and the voiceover both say, "Now taking beef orders online."
