    No malware warnings here.

    The skin peeling thing isn't to my taste, but the statue seems to be pretty good.

    First of all, your tripping hardcore.

    The Huffington Post site isn't infected with anything.

    Second of all. I don't post anything connected to malicious malware because I'm not a n00b to the internet.

    I think the description of "garish" hits it on the head. It's certainly not offensive.

    I see no harm in this. I mean, this isn't something that you would have displayed in the front of a city, but more of a science museum or something. But what floats their boats, floats their boats. If that made any sense.:)

    I suspect the malware isn't on the site, but in your PC. I'd recommend Flushing it, when was the last time you did a full antivirus/malware scan Daitarn?

    Eeh, I think the exposed peeled back anatomy is a step too far, but this is Damien Hirst and his stuff is very hit and miss with me. Ie, shoving cut up animals in formaldehyde is poop to me, but I loved his 2 chamber piece with a rotting meat chunk on one side and a horde of flies on the other.

    It's just an accurate portrayal of Devonshire people. Just like that staue in Norfolk of the people with webbed fingers and toes. :p 

    Looking at the pics I can see why some people would be offended by the guts nature of it, but if they're only upset about the naked breasts or it being pregnant then perhaps they just need to get a life. Although I suppose it might be a hard statue to explain to kids when they see it and ask 'Mommy... What the fuck is that?'.
