Would it be wrong to simply sell the wedding gift?
I am recently married. For a wedding gift my husband’s rich uncle gave us a painfully ugly painting. It features a dressed pig drinking beer in a pub. While it is painted nicely and probably worth a lot, it really isn’t to our taste. We both hate it and have stashed it under our bed.
My problem is that Uncle Herb is known for dropping in on family members unannounced. My husband is feeling guilty and has suggested (despite being repulsed) that we hang the painting just in case his uncle comes for a visit. He is sure his uncle’s feelings would be hurt if it weren’t displayed. I think the pig is just too hideous to hang and I would hate us having to see it everyday.

What do you mean the pig isn’t to your taste?! I don’t think the problem here is a supposedly unattractive painting… Why not just come out and admit that you people hate animals — period! I have no idea what kind of sick and depraved minds you people have… No one is expecting you to be ecstatic, but you should at least be able to find ’some’ enjoyment in one of natures’ lovely creatures, no?
Pigs are funny, friendly, intelligent and taste great whichever way you cook em’!
I know there are many a vegetarian still life out there, painted especially for people like you, but that doesn’t mean you have carte blanche to act like some sort of superior beings! I know your kind…
In fact, I don’t think you deserve the pig: painted or roasted! Why don’t you give it to someone who will appreciate it, instead of trying to find a place for it to rot away? The pig is meant to be enjoyed…
You shouldn’t be worrying about your uncle… You should be worrying about all the pigs you have insulted, and which you will soon meet in the afterlife. Hell is going to be a mighty roast, and you people better start getting over the idea of being pork haters!
