Three Heads Are Better Than One

This trio of traditional sideshow-style shrunken heads come to us from Umbratheca.  I was surprised to learn these gaffs have become a controversial example of colonialist cultural appropriation.  I can see that argument in reference to actual human heads, but I'm not convinced it applies to fakes.

  1. Cultural appropriation?

    If I think something's useful, smart, or just plain cool, I'm going to appropriate the hell out of it and I don't give a damn what anybody thinks about that. They're welcome to do the same.
