Art is just coming alive for me since coming across Hillary White. Her latest, Miss Piggy and the Elders based on Artemisia Gentileschi's Susanna ei Vecchioni. I'm like all cultured and stuff now.
While I'd like to believe that I'm Animal, the reality is I'm much closer to Fozzie Bear. Same shape too. (The Muppet Show Alignment Chart by MightyGodKing. Thanks to the Mighty John Farrier for the tip.)
Where is the new Muppets Show? This is the sort of parody we need to see! Muppets Kick Ass: Green Ass, Hit Pig, Blue Daddy & Red Prawn, from the always talented pop culture mashup artist James Hance.
I get an illicit thrill anytime I find my childhood touchstones acting in an adult fashion. There's something so wrong yet so right when a Muppet is acting sexually or cursing like Joe Pesci. And this Miss Piggy and Peaches mashup by waambat is so very wonderfully wrong.
Check out a dozen of the Best Kids Show/Rap Mashups over at Unreality, where I found the above atrocity.
On an sort of related note, my 2 1/2 year old was walking around the house the other day, happily calling something "silly crap," and I'm so pleased he picked up his first swear word from my wife and not me!
