... we see items like this "green recycled cardboard" deer head, promoted as "taxidermy without the guilt." Made for the "modern, eco-conscious vegetarian man" who wants to "use interior design to demonstrate his masculine, yet environmentally sensitive, attributes."The story has a link to the website GreenProphet.com which has a whole story about an Israeli company named Crembo making the cardboard deer head mounts.
Karen Chernick, the author of the Green Prophet article, writes:
In centuries past, mounted deer (or other animal) heads were considered a type of trophy – an item that illustrated the skills and capabilities of the hunter who killed the deer. If a man had a deer head on his wall, you would assume that he was virile, manly, capable of taking care of his little woman and kids, and probably a few other things as well. But what is the modern, eco-conscious vegetarian man to do when he too wants to use interior design to demonstrate his masculine, yet environmentally sensitive, attributes? Play on the classic mounted deer head and hang a “green” cardboard version.
Demonstrating masculine attributes by displaying a cardboard deer head? I'd call it faux deer for faux men.
As I said in the title, I blame all those estrogens in soy milk.

And real men don't eat quiche.... just sayin'
ReplyDeleteThat is just really, really sad...
ReplyDeleteIf I ever meet a guy with one of those hanging up I'm going to backhand and give him a good shake while yelling, "(B)e a man!" a la Marlon Brando in The Godfather.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cinch he wouldn't fight back - heh.
ReplyDeleteThink of the trees that were killed to make that STUPID fake deer head!!
ReplyDeleteDumb, Dumb, Dumb. That is the most intelligent thing I can think to write!
If a vegan male want to show his maculinity maybe he should mount a stuffed cucumber on the wall above the grocery cart he hunted it down with.
ReplyDeleteI want a picture of the "man" in a climbing treestand, on a polelight, above a dumpster, behind a 7-11.
ReplyDeleteYou could always spray it over in hot pink... That will make it cooler, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is this??? I own a real head from a real live dead moose. Every night I shove my dick in it, feels so good until I let out my load. Now that's what I call, "getting head". Just like real men do.
