International "Bodies Revealed" Japanese exhibition was closed down and put under investigation last week in Venezuela. " it is a very evident sign of the immense moral decomposition that shakes this planet" Chavez affirmed, during this Sunday "Alo Presidente" TV program. He showed real concern for parents who bring their children to the exhibit.

"The lack of reaction by Society to this exhibit is shocking. People visit this criminal and perverse exposition as if it was a piece of art, there is no commotion. Profiting by Human Cadavers with no spiritual revolt, no human reaction in front of another Human degrade.... Not far off from the detachment of American and Israeli pilots dropping bombs over children in Iraq and Gaza."

Chavez reacted after reading the column in Diario Vea, which questioned the macabre show visited by over 15 million Humans around the world. Many sources have question the procedence of the bodies. Organizers claimed they were donated to Universities for scientific studies. Surely they were not intended to be displayed in such a manner. Other media sources claim the bodies came from China's penal system. In any case, for about $25 per person his exhibit hardly looks profitable in Venezuela after the shut down by authorities.
