Bodies ... The Exhibition

I've never really been into the whole blood and guts thing. Like, you know, when on ER or in some Nam flick, they show some dude's innards spilling out all over and blood spurting all over everything and what not. I mean, I took Biology in high school and we disected a fetal pig, but the grossest part about that was the formaldehyde stench. I had that bloody class at 8:30am and for like six weeks I'd carry around that stench all day. Nasty, nasty stuff. Just try talking to girls when you reek of formaldehyde - let me tell you brother-man: it ain't easy.

But anyway, the whole point of this is that I've seen ads for a new exhibition currently on display down at the South Street Seaport called BODIES...The Exhibition. Here's the description:

BODIES...The Exhibition will give the public the unique opportunity to see first-hand the inner workings of our bodies through authentic, preserved human body specimens. BODIES, The exhibition is a 32,000 square foot exhibit that features 22 whole body specimens, as well as more than 260 additional organ and partial body specimens.

Hmmm. Not so sure about this one, people. Now I'm not a bettin' man, but I'm pretty sure you'd get more traffic if you did something like, I dunno, Pedro's Favorite Bodies...The Exhibition. It's a univerally accepted maxim that I have an uncanny ability to identify hottness, and this would simply be a way of sharing my unique skill with the masses, for a nominal fee, of course, and an opening party sponsored by, say, Hooter's and Absolute Vodka or something. But, I digress. Although I enjoyed that digression, I must admit.

Anyway, this exhibition, is it trying to be some sort of Damien Hirst thing, but with humans? Now I dig Hirst's suspended shark and all, but I don't know if I really need to see human innards on display, know what I'm sayin?

But the problem is, something is drawing me to see this stupid thing. We here at Pedro's NYC definitely sense BUZZ. Look at the pics on the website linked above, they look pretty cool, no? How gross can it be? Seriously, this exhibit originated in Tampa effing Florida! If the peeps of Tampa can handle it, hell, so can I right?!? I from New York Effin' City, godammit!

Alright. So who's with me?
