Now these I find trully disturbing; headless and limbless mannequins are so ubiquitous that we don't notice their macabre incongruity in our storefronts but these go further still and are hanging from rods inserted in their necks! If it were not for their first generation Star Trek uniforms these forms could pass for the cadaevers of political losers and heretics displayed at the gates of a medieval town. Does this mean that life in the future is to be as nasty, brutish and short as it was in the past? Sadly it is already for many.
