Parts Unknown No More

sdeschel

As a fellow world traveler and writer, I was a faithful fan of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown for years. That is, until he killed a live pig while drunk in Vietnam. Honestly Anthony, I do not need to see a drunk, traumatized individual act out by killing an innocent living being as it screams when speared with a medieval bow and arrow. Then to watch the blood spurt out - thanks for the visuals, CNN. I am rethinking my ties to you as well.

As traumatizing as it was for my partner and I to watch, it probably didn't even touch the trauma that Bourdain was acting out from a distant tour in Vietnam, and for this I am very sorry. Please get the help you so desperately need, Anthony - there is plenty out there.

I can't help but wonder too if this was the hidden metaphor. I usually get metaphors, however somehow this one got lost in the bloody drama.

Parts unknown, no more.
