Secrets:
The 2002 Black Box echoes the vulture theme of the first Black Box,
introduced in 1998. Three vultures feast on a hapless zebra, the
perennial wildlife documentary victim. Watching vultures feed, it
seems nothing would shock them. Would it be a terrible faux pas to
appear suddenly from where the sun don’t shine? Judging from the
scowling faces, the book of “Vulture Etiquette” evidently says yes. A
pretzel by the wayside remains untouched – having heard of President
Bush’s mishap the birds have decided to leave this dangerous morsel
alone. The interior shows a hamburger, feather, knife and fork.
“20022002” highlights the palindromic nature of this year. Around the
inside of the lid are myriad references to fast food. The mouse is
located behind a vulture’s leg.
