Grad student dresses up roadkill, gives them manicures
Jessica May is interested in seeing whether people will give more thought to the "wild animals" if they're personified by being dressed in human attire, such as a Polo from Baby Gap. But she says she's not trying to make a political statement: "I'm not trying to be any sort of militant activist for animals' rights or anything like that." (Belleville News-Democrat)

Here's a thought--why not help move their carcasses out of the road and give the clothes to actual humans?
WTF?

Who cares if she is trying to make a statement...it's not like some wacky chick dressing up roadkill is going to hurt anyone!

I think this qualifies as weird.

If I were the parent: How about more time on the studies and less on roadkill?

I think Jessica May has too damn much time on her hands.
Nothing like shelling out wads of money for college trying to increase everyone's awareness of roadkill.
"Wow! Honey, did you see that dead deer on the side of the road? The one painted gold? Let's stop and take a closer look. Maybe the artist left one of their business cards on the carcass. What mad talent!"

Just remember that Jessica May is someones wife/ girlfriend... and somewhere is a guy that wishes she was't.

HORTON: Yes, she should spend more time on important things, such as typing in comments on the internet.
DEP: Do you know for sure that she doesn't do anything for human charities? Do you? Ass.

Woman like Jessica should keep their mouths shut and their legs open.

Hopefully the spotlight on this creep will convince the authorities to get her the psychiatric help she so desperately needs. Its only a matter of time before the police discover the bodies under her floorboards. Yikes!

Jessica May's from Indiana. . . . For some reason I just remembered a short-running TV series called "Eerie, Indiana". . . .

Everyone needs a hobby but this bitch is just plain wacked in the head. Her money and her right but damn this woman needs her head checked.

Her parents must be so proud and so thrilled that the money they paid for college is going for this! Thanks, but I'm pretty aware of wild animals without seeing dead ones dressed in clothes or painted gold.
oxhead, this DEFINITELY qualifies as weird.

Do you think?
I'm going to test my theory that people will give more thought to me at work if I dress up as a Tootsie Pop and wander around chanting 'lick me'.

There's nothing wrong with being a little weird, but I hope she's exercising caution in how she does this. If she dresses up roadkill in baby clothes, she could cause an accident when someone swerves to avoid what they think is a baby in the road. I nearly drove off the road once because someone left a doll in the middle of the road, and it was too dark to clearly see it.

LOL, SEMSC...if you do that...would ya let me know? Cuz, I would sort of love to be around when they drag you out of your workplace in a straitjacket.

OMG--you guys have me laughing so hard, I'm caughing, and have tears running down my face. This has to be both the weirdest story, and the funniest thread I've ever read on this site!!
Still--that's some good crazy! I think this chick has more than one screw loose!

If she's leaving baby clothes by the side of the road, isn't that littering?
Posted by: jbrecken | May 9, 2007 12:50:53 PM
At least she isn't collecting Billions of dollars and using that wealth to build big impressive structures and defend child-rapists, rather than give it to the poor.
If you think this chick is nuts, you should meet my neighbors. They claim to talk to an imaginary friend who can do and see anything, but doesn't seem to be helping my neighbors out very much!

Where I live, there are people who would stop and remove the clothing from the roadkill for their own use. But not before checking out the viability of the roadkill itself. You know, for dinner.

So, painting a dead deer is "art", yet having sex with a dead deer is illegal? People need to get their priorties straight!

Three things.
1. dep is NOT an ass.
2. I thought we had agreed that ass should always be coupled with another noun, e.g. asspuppy, asshamster, etc.
and
3. dep is still NOT an ass.

I just came up with a good one - asshandle.
