<videovortex> tipping point

[Michael Verdi]

Just like there is a difference between free speech and hate speech,
there is a difference between art and animal cruelty. Also I suppose
the frog could have been killed before being boiled (there is a cut in
there) it was clearly trying to escape at one point and P.S. pest or
not, some people (maybe only us non-academic artists) call that
inhumane.
