    There were 3 in the bed and the alive one said, 'Roll Over, Roll Over'

    I find this guy so creepy, I think it's the hat but I guess it could be because he cuts up dead people...

    Imagine a girl taking him home to meet her parents,
    'Hi Mum, I've bought my boyfriend home...'

  • Absolutely wonderful exhibit!! I know this sounds cheesy but the human body is really beautiful . . . to see musculature especially during motion is fascinating.

  • I caught the "Bodies" exhibit in San Francisco a couple of years ago. Seeing human bodies like this is a fascinating and unforgettable experience. The producer presents the exhibition with obvious enthusiasm for it and it's virtues. That said, these exhibitions have generated quite a bit of controversy as well. One of the issues had to do with the acquisitions of the corpses in the exhibit. There were reports that the bodies, which were collected in China, were homeless and other poor people who did not or could not consent to donating their bodies for inclusion. There was also some health related concerns, that though the bodies are well preserved in the process, they were still decomposing slowly and leaking fluid, which was a disease risk for patrons and workers.
    None of this given a mention in the piece, but perhaps it might generate some talkback. Technically the pod is beautifully photographed.

    Body Worlds is a 3 part series. This is a pod about Part 2. Here is a pod about Part 1. Please go and vote and comment about how to make this pod better. I am interested in collaborating (I will cover Part 3 and post it soon) with the producer that made Part 2 - San Jose, CA

  • Ew, the grossest part was that someof them still had hair attached in all imaginable places and the colors of the skin were revolting. It was a great exhibit though.
