There was so much confusion over that dog exhibit. I refused to write about until I knew the facts. Concerning Wafaa Bilal’s “Dog or Iraqi”, I’m fairly certain that he knows people will select him going into it. At least that is what I gathered from interviewing him.

My take on the veracity of the dog piece is this: The first places I heard about it were not the news, an art blog, or anything remotely credible. I first saw it on facebook and myspace, where it circulated for a few weeks in capital letters, died for awhile, and seems to have come back to life. Who takes real news straight to MySpace?

have you heard of wafaa bila’s “dog or iraqi”? i’ve been surprised it hasn’t gotten any attention with all of that other dog torture stuff making news. maybe because it is lame.

(actually, i’m not certain this is bilal’s project. i think his involvement might be as the iraqi who might get waterboarded)
