Trendspotting: Animal Heads As A Message Of Discontent With The Recipient
There’s a new way to debate your enemies, and it has nothing to do with rational debate or even Internet blog wars. No, the new way to settle a score is to leave a head on someone’s porch. It happened on Sunday in Cherry Hill when a pig’s head was left on a Cherry Hill activist’s front step. The woman, Alene Ammond, blamed her political enemies or possibly some kids, while the Inquirer suspected it was taken from Lord of the Flies. But I suspect it’s more of a growing, awful trend. At Lehigh University, a deer’s head was found at the front of a campus group’s house. The head was left at the Umoja House, where “27 upperclassmen of diverse backgrounds” work “closely with the Office of Multicultural Affairs.” The article says students have dubbed it “the black house.” Oh, goodie! First, a pig head on an activist’s house. Then, a deer head on a, uhh, multicultural house. Where will the trend lead next? Head of animal found on campus [The Express-Times] |

Kill the beast! Slit its throat! Spill its blood!
Newly-ousted VA Sen (R) George Allen was a big fan of deer heads in maiboxes back in the day (and confederate flags, nooses, etc)
