Kamikaze kittens
FT.com / Arts & Weekend - Kamikaze kittens: "In the centre of the image stands a certain type of Japanese schoolgirl, a kogyaru, wearing loose white socks bunched around her ankles and her skirt hitched up so it’s extra short. She has a fake tan and bleached blonde hair, and is raising a Samurai sword above her head ready to strike. At her feet kneels another schoolgirl who has just cut open her own stomach, harakiri style. She grasps the leg of the standing girl and waits for the coup de grace.
Around them five other schoolgirls are all in various stages of suicide - all smiling. One thrusts a sword through her neck and a rainbow appears in the blood spurting from her wound. Another lies on the ground cutting her exposed intestines with a dagger; blood flows into a drain, past discarded tissues and a karaoke bar flyer. A curious kitten looks on, and the head of an eighth girl lies decapitated in the corner."
