I also said that selling human material is illegal in the United States.
And I'm betting that the draw for buying "Satan Shoes" might be the fact that there's blood in there.
That's a subject change now isn't it.
You brought up the subject of blood.
I'm pointing out that blood in art is a thing.
You're probably going to be super confused if you saw what some sneakers go for.
Some who are into footwear might look at a pair of arthouse sneakers @ $1018 as a bargain.
What now?
I also said that selling human material is illegal in the United States.
Then you have no worries as those involved with be fined or arrested.
Can you list what laws were broken and what they will be charged with?
I mean its a big term for dicking around with a pair of trainers to grift money out of gullible people but I get your point.Might want to start on page one.
Art collective bought 666 pairs of sneakers.
Did art thing to them.
Sold the art
Ain't no one using that blood for anything remotely resembling transplantation!You have but to ask...

I very, very, very, VERY much doubt that it added much to the draw.I also said that selling human material is illegal in the United States.
And I'm betting that the draw for buying "Satan Shoes" might be the fact that there's blood in there.
Doesn't really seem to apply to blood?You have but to ask...
42 U.S. Code § 274e - Prohibition of organ purchases
www.law.cornell.edu
42 U.S. Code § 274e - Prohibition of organ purchases
"It's not use, but the purchase that is illegal.
In a legal sense are blood and organs the same? I assumed they wouldn't be.
Heh. HehHehHeh /BevisandButtheadOk.
Unless they shoved an organ in the shoe I don't think they are going to be charged with anything.
The New York Times noted
that as of Sunday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission had not revealed “whether there were concerns or legal issues about the sale of the shoes”
Not really sure.. I know that human skin is actually considered an "organ" but asked for blood I probably need to find some medical reference for that.
Let's just call the whole thing disgusting call it a day.
I think you mean "Ni"This is the end of times my friend. Jesus talked about the end days. When young Americans would wear Satan shoes!
THE END IS NEIGH!!!!
Young man with righteous anger makes the drab establishment cross at his lack of respect for his "elders and betters".article on how this was a genius move, and a bit about what it's all about too. remember, lil nas x came out as gay, and the religious right think that means he is going to hell. fuck conservative religious bigots getting their panties in a bunch.
Lil Nas X's 'Call Me By Your Name' And ‘Satan’ Shoes Spark A Culture War. It's Paying Off.
The singer's latest single "Montero," which celebrates queerness, is causing backlash among conservative critics—and a marketing win for Lil Nas X.www.forbes.com

I just wish him well and hope that he can afford a decent pair of shoes!Seems like he's made enough bank to no longer need his hip-hop/country music crossover persona anymore.
He's also ignoring the fact that there's been thousands of Gods thought up over the years. Even if there was one it's pretty unlikely that he picked the right one.
