Neil Patrick Harris once hosted a party where he served a meat platter designed to look like a hyper realistic depiction of Amy Winehouses rotting corpse

It had pulled pork and beef brisket to simulate her flesh, pork ribs for her ribs, and chicken sausages for her guts.

Apparently he also did it another time with a cake version.

There are pictures online, it’s revolting.

I'd say this was a tasteless joke, but I'm sure it was delicious.

It’s a macabre idea at best but to make it intentionally similar to a real person is grotesque.

That is so many levels of messed up and tasteless. Why not just make it a nameless corpse? Why did it have to be a real person who had recently died? Imagine being her family or friend and seeing that picture.

Why?

From what I can gather it was a joke at a 2011 Halloween party they hosted, they made an apology years later (2022) when a photo resurfaced

Amy Winehouse was Hollywood's punching bag while she was alive. For no particular reason that I can see, it was popular at the time to make fun of her.

Also, I don't follow this guy. The last time I paid attention was Starship Troopers. Did he basically marry himself? Just going by the picture at the top.

She was a drug addict who was notoriously difficult to work with, who bragged about physically abusing her spouse.

She was also a great singer and her death was tragic. People are complicated.

Idk that doesn't seem a all that weird for a Halloween party. I've been to tons of parties where the decorations and costumes are based on deceased, or otherwise macabre, celebrities.

People dress up as Charles Manson and Sharon Tate. John Denver as a pilot. OJ Simpson costumes with tiny bloody gloves. David Carradine with a rope around his neck.

I've looked into this before because some friends of mine commented they don't like Harris because he strikes them as a "mean gay", and this was the only unsavory thing I could find about him. It was only made public because some vegans dug through social media and found old photos of the party and decided to make it a huge deal after-the-fact, and Harris has acknowledged it was bad taste and apologized for it.

Like, I'm all in favor of canceling people for being g problematic but I'm going to need stronger stuff than this to get angry over.

It's a weird thing but a lot of gay guys either end up with guys who look like their twins, or they start looking like twins after a few years together. Probably something psychological to that, but we try not to overthink.

NPH is one of those annoying ultra-gays who acts like the entire zeitgeist runs through him. He's like the conservative version of Alan Cumming. We try not to pay them much attention, because they're out of touch relics, but they're sure still doing stuff.

Amy would have loved it.

"Hyper realistic" is a bit of a stretch. It doesn't look real any more than it looks like Amy.

Ohhh nOooooOOoo, someone made a joke in bad taste! They must be a terrible person!!

I'm sure you've never done something that offended another person or said/did something you later regretted.

I'm assuming you don't know who Amy was. She was an amazing rebel and would have loved being eaten at a Halloween party.

We lost a real one.

I don’t get what the big deal is. Like it’s Halloween. Sounds like that party was lit🔥

The real question here is; how does this guy know what Amy Winehouse's corpse looks like?
