Sexapus

Here is is at last...

This was originally inspired by the Beijing 2008 Olympics. I watched several reporters there trying strange food and saying how Chinese people pretty much eat anything that comes out of the sea. I saw sea horses on a stick. seriously. WTF.

Anywho, I was originally going to have the food chain reversed in this pic with a giant octopus chopping up a bunch of Chinese people and turning them into sushi for fish, but I thought that might not sit well with some people...

Personally, the prospect of eating raw fish wrapped in sea weed makes me want to gag. People say, "C'mon, it tasted like chicken!", and I say, "Well why the hell don't you just eat chicken then. At least then you won't be supporting overfishing. So this was drawn from my disgust at chinese eating habits.

Furthermore, you may be wondering about the title. Count the legs, there are only six. I figure that makes him a sexapus. I tried to make him as hideous as possible to demonstrate my view on Chinese 'delicasies'. I think most people would agree that this guy looks like he came straight out of a nuclear power plant...
