The Crying Human Christmas Tree

In an extraordinary art performance, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, artist Mark McGowan is to stand dressed as a christmas tree for an amazing 72 hours, he will also be attempting to cry continuously. Tears and sobbing will be seen and heard from the incredible human Christmas tree on the Rua Do Poco Dos Negros, starting at 10am on Friday 19th December 2008 and continuing through out the last weekend before Christmas. 

The performance is an attempt to highlight lonliness at Christmas, when lots of people instead of being happy are sad, due to circumstances. 

McGowan says, 

"Hopefully this art performance or sculpture will carry a message to the people of Lisbon and Portugal who are lucky enough to have their families and friends around them at Christmas, that there are some people who are less fortunate and maybe we could extend our goodwill to them as they find the holiday season quite painful and sad. It is particularly moving that this event should take place in Rua do Poço dos Negros, surely a horrible area to be in during the 15th century, when King D. Manuel I decided to built a well where dead black slaves were to be buried in piles. Its going to be very very difficult to keep crying continuously for 72 hours dressed as a Christmas tree."

(How about the radical idea of spending those 72 hours doing something that actually benefits someone, like helping out at a homeless shelter or donating the money spent on this project to a homeless charity. How can anyone take a sobbing christmas tree as anything other than a fucking joke, that in no way represents the suffering of Christmas - JH)

This month McDonald's is giving away toy Hummers — 42 million of them, in eight models and colors — with every Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal. That's right: The fast-food chain that helped make our kids the fattest on Earth is now selling future car buyers on the fun of driving a supersized, smog-spewing, gas-guzzling SUV originally built for the military. Use the Ronald McHummer Sign-O-Matic™ to tell everyone what you think of this misguided marriage of two icons of American excess.
