Nude Britany Spears statue giving birth...pro life

[medeak]

OMG... this is the sickest thing I've seen:

http://www.caplakesting.com/2006_catalog/de/index.htm

gave birth twice and have never seen that position before!

[medeak]

1. worse... Drudge has it... am sick. n/t

[bedpanartist]

2. totally fucking brilliant

too bad the artist didn't include any kind of afterbirth statues.

[Pachamama]

57. You mean like the one of Britney driving her car w/ baby on lap & not in

its car seat safely buckled in?

That would also be a perfect statue to the "Pro-life" movement....since they don't seem to care too much about the children once they are born...

:puke:

[Deja Q]

3. Why not have a big statue of a cockroach laying eggs?

Even a cockroach has to do more for the money...


Also, Brit-brat looks far more calm and content than any human female would during childbirth...

[medeak]

5. must be the dead animal head she's stroking

calming her down?

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Yeah what is with that animal head?

[bedpanartist]

40. you ain't no better than Britney

you wake up every day and what comes out of you (as in Britney): big brown shit. We're all just big blood/muccus/shit machines who always end up dead. Some of us even think we're better than others. That's probably the funniest thing I've experienced here on planet Earth.

[Maru Kitteh]

68. Actually, yes. I am.

I don't have a problem with saying that. You go ahead and think of yourself as an "enlightened" mucus and shit bag, I won't stop you.

[Canadiana]

4. The richest thing about this...

Is that Britney Spears had a C-section.

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,17362,00.html

She was never in that position....bear skin rug...please.

[HockeyMom]

6. I agree

Also, mother of two. The baby cannot drop from a lying on stomach position. I took Lamaze 20 plus years ago. The most natural postion to give birth is squatting.

Who do this people think they are fooling? You cannot fool a woman who already IS a mother.

[bedpanartist]

8. its brilliant art

who cares what position she was in? It's LUDICROUS. Which makes it all the better.

[countingbluecars]

7. How about a statue of her loser husband.

He left a couple of kids behind to hook up with Spears-real pro life.

[neebob]

9. That is incredibly weird. nt

[medeak]

10. artist used reference of Britany "pole dancing"

LOL! this is even more bizarre:

The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pole-dancing Britney at Las Vegas’ Madame Tussauds

[Gman]

11. That's the position and condition the RW wants to keep women in

Because the Bible says so.

[sweetheart]

12. that picture makes me want to use the loo

ooh, it looks like a biggie! :-)

[sarge43]

13. What is totally unreal about that so called portrait is

her hair looks neat and clean.

[DanCa]

14. On the plus side she just topped michael jackson

as wierdest pop singer ever. Damn my eyes for viewing it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. That's like just begging for back labor, imo. Weird, weird, weird

[enlightenment]

30. Actually, a lot of the moms I used to coach liked that postion

DURING labor -- but for the birth? Please. That's fighting gravity (kinda like the traditional flat on the back position).

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Not me. I liked sitting.. I wanted to walk but they wouldn't let me and

in fact I spent my second labor the same way I spent both my last trimesters.. lying on my left side. x( I know I would have had kid #2 so much faster if I had been allowed out of bed. (I did actually like the swayback position, but I preferred it standing at and leaning on the end of the bed... only got away with it briefly after trips to the bathroom, untilt he nurses caught me out of bed and hustled me back into it. *sigh*

[enlightenment]

45. ewh. Sounds like you had your about the same time I had mine -

or have they gone back to that nastiness, again?

It infuriates me that the medical community has once again managed to turn childbirth into a 'condition' to be treated. For a short while, it seemed like we had managed to get back to the idea the childbirth is a natural process. I'm all for intervention when NECESSARY -- but all these monitors and IV's and enemas and drugs . . . and don't get me started on planned C-sections for no good reason.

sigh. Probably a good thing I don't do the coaching thing anymore - I'd probably deck a nurse and get arrested right as my mom was crowning!

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. Well they put me like that because of the high blood pressure. Doc

didn't want to give me meds if we could help it so the best natural treatment was to keep me on my left side to keep the BP down.

[norml]

16. It makes me laugh. I like it. It's kitch.

Nude Britney Spears Serves As Pro-Life Monument



A naked Britney Spears giving birth to her son could be the new rallying point for the pro-life movement. What? Yes, a sculptor has created a Britney shrine for all to worship.

"A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a "first" for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the "ideal" model for Pro-Life and the subject of a dedication at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg gallery district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Life monument to birth, in April.

Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears' baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. "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," said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.

"Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," believed Pro-Life's first monument to the "act of giving birth," is purportedly an idealized depiction of Britney in delivery. Natural aspects of Spears’ pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head.

[linazelle]

17. So Britney likes it doggy style? Errr ummm...birth that is

:crazy:

That is soooo National Geographic.

[nonconformist]

18. Didn't she have a c-section anyway?

I remember reading when she was pregnant that she WANTED a c-section, since she didn't want to go through the pain of labor and childbirth, and that her own mother had had two c-sections.

[progressivebydesign]

23. all the rich gals and the hollywood gals want c-sections.

If they don't need them, they don't care.. they want to retain their pre-birth youthfulness.. if you know what I mean. Pretty sick to choose surgery over natural birth just for vanity and ease sake. Says a lot about a woman... it's one thing if your doctor says you HAVE to, but if you can't handle giving birth to something naturally, and you'd go thru non-necessary surgeryyou probably don't have what it takes to be a parent, perhaps adopting a hamster would be a better choice. Or paying someone else to give birth to your embryo...

[Quantess]

43. Yes, she did have a C-section.

Even if she hadn't, though, this statue would still be presposterous.

[progressivebydesign]

19. You can get pregnant in that postion.. but give birth?? ummm

Only a man would find that plausible. I know when I give birth I want to be clutching a dead bear's ear. WTF is up with that??

[Hissyspit]

20. This is the artist who sculpted Ted Williams cryogenicaly frozen head

It's blatantly ridiculous - purposeful kitsch in the Jeff Koons tradition. If Drudge has actually interpreted it as pro-life, he's being punk'd.

It's Britney Spears pregnancy porn in a New York/Williamsburg gallery. Clearly facetious to me.

[medeak]

25. artist sounds serious?

Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the ‘right choice’,” said artist Daniel Edwards,

[Hissyspit]

31. Irony. Prankstership. The artist has sculpted for MLK and Robert Kennedy

memorials dedicated by Bill Clinton. Does he sound like a right-winger? http://www.send2press.com/newswire/print/news_2005-10-1031-003.shtml

[medeak]

38. love it! what a marketing job for rightwingers

done by gallery

[Hissyspit]

47. BTW, congrats on your two birthings.

I am in awe of women!

[LiberalTexan]

21. How dare this asshole

CHOICE? How dare this asshole mention choice!!!

This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision,” said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.


Oh, the irony!!!

[sarge43]

24. Huh?

What choice did Shitney make that was so heroic?

[bedpanartist]

27. you obviously don't recognize

intentional irony when you see it.

[Hissyspit]

29. Yes, it is irony. That's the point. n/t

[ReverendDeuce]

26. Well, that's a hell of a thing...

That's really, really weird.

Lifestyles of the rich and bored.

[Jara sang]

28. That is the most pornographic sculpture I have ever seen.

"Pregnant women" fetishists or whatever they are called must adore that.

[bedpanartist]

33. ain't nothin' wrong with saying hello

to your new baby boy or girl with a few knocks on the door.

[Hissyspit]

34. He's a prankster:

Controversial Sculptor Daniel Edwards Featured on Send2Press Podcast
Edited by Carly Zander
Mon, 31 Oct 2005, 17:59:00 GMT

TORRANCE, CA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Sculptor Daniel Edwards, who recently held a controversial exhibition at New York's First Street Gallery, that made the front page of the NY Times arts section, and raised the eyebrows of sports fans because of Ted Williams' "Death Mask" is the featured guest on the latest Send2Press entertainment Podcast. The Podcast is hosted by PRSA and ASCAP member Christopher Simmons.

- snip -

Edwards gallery show, which ran during September 2005, was called "The Ted Williams Memorial Display with Death Mask, from The Ben Affleck 2004 World Series Collection." The main element of the exhibit was Edwards' sculpture of a "death mask" of baseball great Ted Williams, depicting Williams as he now exists -- in a cryonic slumber.

Williams' actual head is stored in a metal container filled with liquid nitrogen in Scottsdale, Arizona's Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which claims to be the most advanced cryonics service in the world. Edwards gained some notoriety for the exhibit because some mistakenly believed the death mask was a casting from the actual frozen head of Ted Williams.

Dan is a classically trained sculptor from New York's Graduate School of the Figurative Arts, and his notable public sculpture work includes The Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy Memorial in Indianapolis, of which groundbreaking ceremonies were performed by President Clinton and Senator Ted Kennedy. He also has works in the permanent collections of the National Art Museum of Sport in Indianapolis, the Las Vegas art museum, and the Indiana statehouse.

[Hissyspit]

35. Quit reading it literally folks! One of the guy's heroes is P.T. Barnum!

http://www.firststreetgallery.net/edwards.html

Exhibitors Statement

I believe a thousand dollars spent on ebay could yield a more interesting and relevant exhibit than a thousand spent at Sotheby’s, any day. It simply depends on the story you can generate from a given object. A Rembrandt may not be as intriguing as an ordinary household appliance once you’ve learned, for instance, that same appliance was used to bludgeon unsuspecting town’s folk a century ago.

This time, I’ve referred to P.T. Barnum and assembled a show designed to reveal some captivating exhibits that mostly prove the storytelling value of even the most mundane objects. What a great achievement it would be to find an ordinary object, physically un-manipulated, and present it in a way that changes common perceptions of it. Of course, curators have been trying this since Barnum, mostly expecting that the right pedestal and lighting will do just that, and the Formalists mostly care about the beauty or compositional value of an object. For me, the interest is in the storytelling potential and the solution is in the juxtaposition of one object to another. Any two objects easily tell a story, and if you want a more complex story, just add another object.



Self-Portrait Variation 2003

[bedpanartist]

41. If the DU posters do not recognize the ludicrous brilliance

in this piece, we will NEVER have a rats chance in the asshole of Saddam Hussein to whip the GOP. NEVER.

[LeftHander]

51. spot on...

This is art along the lines of Little Dancer and FOuntain...

Both pieces caused riots in thier time.

So will this one.

It lays "bear" the hypocricy of amkerican consumer society in one swift motion, television, pop, culture, the culture of life are all laid to waste by this brave and fucking beautiful work of art.

[KingFlorez]

36. Looks more like she's getting ready to concieve the kid

What a vulgar statue

[bedpanartist]

44. It is a piece of beauty

and I love the fact that Britney has her brown and pink eyes raised to the skies. How this could be judged vulgar could only come from one who seldom cums I suppose.

[rman]

55. Then again, who comes while giving birth?

Looks like thinly veiled porn to me - which may well be part of the joke.
Porn isn't necessarily vulgar, but then why not be overt about it instead of presenting it as art? I guess in this case that to is part of the joke.

[Danieljay]

37. no no no...you've got it all wrong, that was the position she was in

when she got PREGNANT. Geez, what is wrong with these people.

[medeak]

39. Sludge changed the link

to article re artist's past history...and put question mark after pro life... heh heh..

[Hissyspit]

42. Ted Williams' head:

[norml]

48. She needs a cigarette in her hand to make it look authentic.

[Skidmore]

65. Did she buy that bikini in the GrrAnimal section?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. britney has fucking money to raise kids you stupid morons!

ugh!

[Jack_DeLeon]

50. neat...

I get a laugh out of all the people who are criticising it.

Its a piece of art and art is subjective. If you dont like it forget it about it and move on.

[Jaybird]

52. wheres the money shot?

i'm very disapointed

[Swamp Rat]

53. OH GOD! Somebody post the back end of the "statue," PLEASE!!!

:bounce:

[Pachamama]

58. Naughty Boy....

:spank:

[HeeBGBz]

61. Let's see if the baby peeks out like Porky Pig

With a wave and a "Tha-tha-tha-that's all folks!"

[jokerman93]

54. Wow!

This brings kitsch to a whole new level.!!! I mean Elvis has really left the friggin' building this time! LOL!

:silly:

J

[Swamp Rat]

56. Here ya go medeak:

:D



Get me a shot of the rear and we can have some real fun! :D

[Pachamama]

59. Can you imagine a statue of Babs w/ George crowning?

:scared:

Eeek! Sorry to even being going to that dark and twisted place Swamp'r! But your dark humor got me thinking about that image...with horns and everything.... :scared:

[B Calm]

60. Looks like she's ready for hot anal sex..

[ObaMania]

62. Britney and the "crowning" part notwithstanding...

.. I think it's sexy as hell.

'Course I would like to see the backend shot! :evilgrin:

[Lochloosa]

63. I'm a guy, so I have a question.

Is it necessary in child birth to be totally nude? Or is this artist just a FUCKYING PERVERT?

[notadmblnd]

64. don't cha know

we all give birth like that. On bear rugs with our asses up in the air:sarcasm:

[Binka]

67. Of Course Darling But Where Is Her Martini & Virginia Slim?

De rig-eur to have a smoke and a cocktail when jr is about to pop out. :silly: What claptrap this entire article is. And I'm sure Spears is so brave to have the child just so she can dump it with a nanny. How brave of her to sacrifice her body for 9.5 months, now she'll be in the gym 10 hours a day telling all women how easy it is to get in shape after a pregnancy. Because she is so BRAVE! Fuck that nasty SLAG. Her fifteen minutes are up. Go away Slag mama. Go away.

[npincus]

66. The Fundies didn't like Monica L. in that position

Hypocrites, all.
