Normally, NSFW GIF of the Hump Day is just meant to poke fun at some of the puritanical attitudes that surround art, sex and nudity. It is certainly weird that sex and nudity are more off-limits in American culture than violence. But NSFW can mean more than just jiggling boobs and raging boners.
While we wouldn’t necessarily say that Chris Burden’s “Shoot” (a performance in which he allowed someone to shoot him in the arm with a gun) is violent, your boss might think you’re watching some sort of fucked up snuff meets America’s Funniest Home Videos.
And just for good measure we’ll throw in Eva and Franco Mattes reenactment of “Shoot,” done entirely in Second Life.
