Britney Spears gets birthing monument

The fine folks in New York have completely lost their minds and given Britney Spears her own Pro-Life monument at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg gallery district. The life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears' baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. Gallery co-director Lincoln Capla says, "A superstar at Britney's young age having a child is rare in today's celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision."

The official name of the monument is "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," and I'm pretty sure the unofficial name is "The sex doll I was making but somebody caught me so now I'm pretending it's a Britney Spears monument." Besides, I don't think getting accidentally knocked up counts as a brave decision to put family before career. It's more like a brave decision to not use protection. Which actually isn't very brave at all, but that's what I tell the ladies because it makes them feel like sexy outlaws.

AND THERE'S A PHOTO.

You post things like this just to make my brain 'splode, don't you? I'm on to your evil plan!

Damn, I must be getting obvious in my old age.

It's the orange evil supervillain helmet in your user pic that gives it away!

Keeps the voices out.

...Tell me she's not fucking a bearskin rug. Please God.

[kokopellinelli]

Though that seems to be the general concensus, if you read the comments, some believe the artist wanted to depict Britney's "ideal" birthing situation, which apparently would have been butt-up on a bearskin rug, which I guess is trying to be romantic but really just looks like she's waiting for someone to come along and do with her what he will.

*facepalm* See, there's a line between art, even erotic art, and flat-out porn, and that statue went over it a long, long time ago.

...Three-dimensional porn in the service of the God of the Pro-Lifers. The mind boggles. XD

[kokopellinelli]

Yeah. And you KNOW these are the same people who are against anything at all pornographic. I guess the fact that she's in the middle of popping out a child means that the statue is spiritual and maternal rather than sexual.

And as someone in the comments said, they must have given her a huge epidural for her face to look so calm as she pops something the size of a watermelon out her hoo-haw.

Well obviously she's having a Deep Religious Experience, crossing into the Holy State of Being a Mommy. :P

[kokopellinelli]

Apparently, showing her unconscious with her stomach split open wasn't "artistic" enough.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Oh, heavens no. Because art isn't supposed to reflect reality at all. *eyeroll*

Hi, um, this has nothing to do with anything, but I wandered in here from your post over at baaaaabyanimals and read a few of your entries. So if it's cool, mind if I friend you?

Here are some unsubtle and frighteningly similar things that we share:

1) My birthday is also 9/15, but I'm exactly a decade older than you
2) Firefly ROCKS
3) I'm also an artist, but more like a production artist who takes art classes occasionally
4) Gerard Butler...mmmtasty.

Is cool with you? :)
