Mar 23 2006Britney Spears gets birthing monument

That is quite simply that strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. WTF? I mean, seriously, WTF...? Is this a joke?

What about people such as Michelle Branch, I don't remember for sure but I think she's younger than Britney. She went out of the spotlight, had her kid and is probably being a wonderful mother without all the attention and it seems she put her life over her career too.

Does this mean all the 14 year olds round my area who are having kids and getting a council flat should have monument too. Wow, such a good idea, if only I'd thought of having a baby...

The monument should have been called, "Britney Spears: How I ended up sleeping with a deadbeat dad, and ended up having his baby while he uses me to purchase wifebeaters."

Just another reason I spit on NY.

I think that looks too good to be Britney..

This is totally twisted and unnecessary. How could whitetrash be brought up to an art form is beyond me...!

What. The. Hell.

Sooooooooo, apparently Britney gave birth on a bearskin rug? PETA's gonna get her ass. Not that I care about that part of it. This whole thing is just wrong on so many levels. It would have been helpful if they had picked a model that's actually been seen holding her own kid more than TWICE!!!!

Britney Spears had a primary elective C-section, so this isn't even an accurate depiction of the birth of her son. I guess her gravid self strapped to an OR table with a foley catheter in her bladder and her abdomen split by a Pfannensteil incision wasn't artistic enough.

What a rediculous statue...I'm curious what the backside looks like, considering that the front is so life-like...

Pro-life? They should of made the statue of her driving with her baby on her lap. What a joke!

Just another example of contemporary artists selling their ass to get some recognition...

This is easily the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Really.
And why is Britney riding naked on Falcor?

I'm not sure it really looks like her in the face, but I do know that I can't help but wonder, what the sculpture looks like from the "other" angle.

i love how big they made her hips/ass. and what kinda position is that to give birth? doggy style makes for bad birthing. jesus people!

WTF is this shit. # 1, I totally agree with you. I'm confussed. This non-sense HAS to be a joke. It's utterly ridiculous and repulsing. #5 you spit on NY but I spit directly on this "art".

If you look at the back can you see the baby peeping out?

I'm not sure it really looks like her in the face, but I do know that I can't help but wonder, what the sculpture looks like from the "other" angle.

OH. Dear. Holy. Hell. WHY??? Just what the world needs - a monument to white trash! They would have been better off using the money that it took to build that monstrosity to sue FeyKed for irrepairable damage to the eardrums of thousands...

Falcor!!!!!! Neverending Story RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched that movie 27 times in a month one summer when I was about 8 years old. "Bastian!! Say my name!!"

I am eating lunch for christ's sake!!! This is so weird. Too weird. Thank God they didn't show the back:

"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."

I think I saw that thing at my local sex store. If I had a dick, I'd hit it.

I think doing anything sexual with that thing would be statutory rape.

I was going to write that I hope there is no access to the rear view - but then I clicked on the link and read the source article - it says that "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." Thank god there are no pics of it.

I wonder what Brit and K-douche think of this (she probably is flattered and he would like to violate it, I know I'd hit it - not really just had to get that in).

#21 is so funny ~~~~ i almost peed a little.

This is a joke, right? RIGHT??? Tell me it's a big fat publicity joke.
WHat is going on with ths "statue"? It looks way more like pregnancy fetish to me. Why are her ankles up in the air?
#22....that is the most revolting way I've heard birth described.

I believe I'm speaking for everyone when I say, "Where's the vag photo?" They have three front/side shots but no photos of the back? Maybe the face of Satan is carved on her ass or something.

#18-
Be confident Atreyu!
Hey, do you know what the name is that Bastian yells out at the end for the empress? I've heard it's Moon Child, but that makes no sense.

This is a totally accurate depiction of a traditional Kaballah birth ritual. You get on all fours, grab the severed dog head, and a midget slides underneath you on a skateboard with a switchblade - performing the C-section (or, the Pfannenstiel incision)- the baby drops on the concrete, and the husband, wearing the traditional trucker hat and Von Dutch jersey, breaks a bottle of Boone's over the mother's head. "A Broch!". It's tradition, people, look it up.

I'm hoping for the janitorial staff that they casted the rear end out of silicone, like they do with the porn-star love dolls. At least cleaning service will enjoy that statue the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

And you know, here's an odd thing. Did Britney ever pose nude for a magazine? To think, so many pop stars thought to accelerate their careers with Playboy spreads, but momma Federspears topped them all by showing her poonanner to everyone, young and old, that walks into the art gallery. I can only hope they have that double-barrelled hotgun (I totally just made that up. bleheheh) pointed at the door.

#15 LOL!! You'd think with that position.
Is she gonna hump the bear skin rug? And why don't they show the family she broke up? WHY is anyone praising this girl??? Isn't she working on a comback album right now? Doesn't that mean she didn't put her career on hold to raise her baby? And I didn't know a 6 month old was considered fully raised these days. I also don't think leaving your kid with a nanny most of the day qualifies as raising him either.

That's no kind of position to give birth in.

It's a well-made piece of work, but it's completely ridiculous.

She should be holding a cheeseburger instead of that wolf's head thingy.

Well, if they can get away with this - they're going to love my 'Mona Hilton' painting.

Um.
Ok yes, putting your family ahead of your career is a good thing, in fact, more women need to pick up on that. Today's society is losing touch with the family unit.
But what the hell is with the statue? It doesn't look like Britney, and the wolf head symbolizes ... something? I'm not sure. And Britney had a C-section while doped up on pain meds, she didn't even go through the actual pain and agony of birthing a child. So making it appear all spiritual in the sculpture is just silly.

I like to do that same position when I massage my dog's ears, except he doesn't howl like that when I do it......She must have a bigger penis........

Ridiculous. The girl in the sculpture looks NOTHING like Britney. She's got lovely long legs, as opposed to Britney's stumps, and nice, defined biceps, as opposed to Britney's arms which bring to mind enormous hams.

Some where right now Michelabgelo and a hundred other Renaissance artists are laughing their arses off.

If this is "Pro-Life" then Tom Sizemore and Charlie Sheen are feminists.

"Sexy outlaws" - that is awesome! Superficial guy is back and in fine form.

I think he's just confused... that is how the baby was CONCEIVED.

(from the site) "a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head"

VOMIT.

Also, i'm no baby-ologist, but isn't that kind of an awkward position to be giving birth? With your ass up in the air? Is it like with giraffes, how they just kinda fall out and hit the ground?

Is there a happy smiling baby face sticking out the other end?

They really should call it "Britney meets Henry Miller" Nonetheless, what a breathtaking work of art. I hope the artists have the good sense to put it in a time capsule for "Life on Earth 2006".

Pardon me, but how has Britney Spears shown herself to be pro-life?

So she had a baby, a baby she's used for her own selfish ends since he was conceived. She's used her pregnancy and her son as a PR machine to get attention for herself and her joke of a husband or as an excuse for her own abysmal lack of common sense.

She has hordes of money, and a gaggle of handlers cum nannies, something the majority of young women and single mothers, struggling to pay the bills, don't have. Still she manages to be a rotten caretaker of her child. And yet, somehow, she's the pinnacle of selfless motherhood?

PLEASE. SPARE. ME!

If this artist wants to celebrate 'pro-life', he should go to Africa where thousands of women struggle every day to take care of their children while they cope with the realities of life, those being AIDS, lack of clean water, no education, wars, famine and unimaginable poverty.

(cont. from above)

Here endeth angry pregnant lady's rant. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Superficial column

Oh, yeah - I saw that. The Nanny is two monuments down on the left. She gets one too...

#21 - Baroness, very witty! Had to read it twice.

I know that the last thing my brother would want named after him is a statue of our naked mother with his head poking out of it. Add that to the long, long list of things he'll be talking to his shrink about.
If Brit's so pro-life she should keep that kid strapped into his freakin' car seat!

#9 is correct. Britney had a C-SECTION.

So everything about this "work of art" (and I'm using this term VERY loosely) is wrong. C-sections are done flat on your back, and Sean Preston didn't go down her birth canal and just his head out of her vag.

C-SECTION, people, C-SECTION!

To the artist: Next time, remember to add "research" to your pre-design tasks. 'K? Thank you ever so much!!

it should be called " monument to white trash imbeciles" and as for women needing to get in touch with the "putting family ahead of career thing", honestly, go back to 1950.
its funny since britney is really the poster child as to why birth control is a good thing and why abortion needs to stay legal.

perhaps forced sterilization should be added to that list.

and as for "spitting" on new york. well, something like this belongs in the bible thumping white trash dirty south. you wont find many new yorkers agreeing with this sentiment.

“She was number one with Google last year, with good reason --- people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman,”

is he from a parallel universe?

I hope the pigeons go to town on that.

I think that was the pose she was in when she GOT pregnant, not when she HAD the baby.

Does it look like Uma Thurman to anyone? Or is it just me?

Hey
Some people were wondering what it looks like fromt he back. I heard about this on my morning radio station and they said that you can apparently see "Sean Preston" crowning out of her from the back.

Hahaha - now that everyone has lost their apptite over that lovely image I'll get back to work. Hahahaha

The "mounument" needs about 40 more pounds on it to get close to lifesize. And why does she look like a porn star instead of a beautiful pregnant woman?

This is for real? **cough, sputter**

You get a statue dedicated to you if you have reckless, unprotected sex?

Those pro-lifers sure have some f**ed up values. How about taking that money and using it towards helping OTHER CHILDREN that are the result of reckless, unprotected sex.

Just imagine that the apocalypse has come. The shells of buildings remain, the skies are so grey there's no sunlight, and civilization has been completely wiped out save for two people stumbling through the rubble. They look for some sign. A sign of life. A sign of human existence. They look for some sort of legacy of what once was.

And then they come upon this statue.

I bet when you're standing at the, uh, posterior end of this monstrosity, you can hear the goddamn ocean.

Glad to see all those Pro-Life donations going towards a worthy cause.

um, #2. michelle branch is bitter as all hell now. http://www.andpop.com/article/5359?PHPSESSID=1189e5d39764d045c1ebd58dfffdd5cc

she hates her own music now, her fans, her label, and says she never wanted to be in the spotlight. oops.

doesn't go without saying that this statue is so bizarre. what the f*ck man, i don't undersatnd. i guess it's a cheap kimick for free press.

also, didn't brittany have like three abortions before sean preston?

Yes, isn't it wonderful to have a monument to idiot parents? Maybe next to it they should have a statue of her driving with her kid in her lap. Or pawning the kid off on a nanny while she has to run KFed down while he is screwing a stipper. A whole series!

This thing is OBVIOUSLY a joke.

....right?

Amen, CATSCRATCH!!! Well said!

Love "abysmal lack of common sense". I'm going to fit that into every conversation for the rest of the week!

what a great idea!

imagine the photo opportunities for every male teen (not to mention dirty old men) who journey to that museum! hell, the museum could charge $5 a photo and make this interactive number a cash cow --> just like Federline has done to Brittney!!

Forget about the wheel. To hell with fire. And let's ignore going to the moon. This is the best idea ever in the history of man!

Horrific. Just horrific.

Oh, and it's too bad it's not outdoors. I'd really be happy if a pigeon shit on it.

If I stick a quarter in it does it play me a song?

Too bad there isn't a monument of Federslime mounting her from behind too. That would just up the "class" factor.

really...they should install these in sperm banks across the nation --> imagine the spurtitude!

Wow.

Britney has really slimmed down lately.

No, it's no Joke! Welcome Blog readers to the wonderful world of HIGH ART!!!

Big old bowl of disturbing right there.

Wait, this can't be Britney. Where is her bag of cheetoes? her huge cup of starbucks? the 40 lbs she gained?

Are we forgetting that Britney had a planned c-section - she was afraid of giving birth... WTF.

imagine this as the centerpiece of a water fountain!
oh, yeah!

hahaha....hmmmm, i wonder where they could have the water shoot out of.....

I get it now! It's symbolic!

The bear skin rug is her career (dead).

Her ass up in the air is "presenting" to the Federline, offering up herself both litterally and figurtively for him to take as much as he can.

Although I'm not sure why they didn't include a pack of Marlboro Lights and a bag of Cheetos.

"...applauds her decision of placing family before career." That's a joke in itself...

But this has to be the most hideous thing I've ever seen. And why the fuck is there a bear rug? Isn't PETA upset? I was there when they had those mannequins with cocks for noses...this is a lot worse..

is it weird that i'd rather have sex with the statute than the actual britney spears??

Is she EVER going to go away? Please? She sucks ass and always has. Why does this biotch have tons of dough and pornographic statues in her honor and I feel like I'm splurging when I get 1 extra item at Taco Bell?

Is it wrong that I just rubbed one out while fantasizing about doing the Britney statute doggy style?

why dont they make a statute of kevin federline instead? nobody gets more women pregnant than him.

"The sex doll I was making but somebody caught me so now I'm pretending it's a Britney Spears monument." SUPERFICIAL you are the greatest! ROFL!

oh my GOD. it HAD to be in williamsburg.

i live 2 blocks from the gallery and let me tell you, these F*ucking hipsters need to get shot in the head

* DIE HIPSTER SCUM *

Why does every story about Spears on this site make me go 'Aie yi yi yi yi!'?

Great pose for a monument. Actually, I'm not being sarcastic. It's pretty slick.

I REALLY hope Britney sues them for this! And, I hope she sues them for everything they have - both the artist AND the gallery!

This is insanity! People can't just create and advertise pornographic (I'm sorry, but that is NOT art!) statues of people without their permission! Can they?! I would be horrified if someone used my name and likeness (however poorly) like that!

HAHAHA...wth is THAT? I think whatever artist was comissioned to do this is actually laughing it up right now...and Britney's probably weeping over how beautiful this art form is...the artist is clearly making fun of her. If this is for real...I bet someone paid someone to create their vision and the artist actually had some sense and presented them with this. Hilarious. The funny thing about ART is almost no one understands that they're being made fun of when they Ooh and Aah over it. Including the muse herself.

#80 & 81
I don't think there is a statute (law) against screwing a statue (3 dimensional art object).

Although a statute against Kfed and Brit might be a good idea...

i thought she had a c-section anyway?

i honestly had to check the date twice to make sure it wasn't april fools

Wait...they gave her a statue because she didn't have an abortion??

she must have had a FAT epidural, cause that look on her face is just a little too peaceful.
can i commission the artist to make a statue of me taking a shit? it's about the same thing.

Britney Spears is a good role model for Christian teens? When did whoring around and selling yourself out count as holy roler behavior? Was Kevin married to the mother of his first two children? If he wasn't, then he's already going to hell. That is fine with me.

She lloks like she is getting it doggie style on a bear or perhaps wolf skin rug... that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, but then pro-lifers are insane to begin with so anything is possible there...

BTW she had a C-SECTION and I have never seen anyone give birth like that...

Oops, I forgot to mention that I am an agnostic and like to point out the hypocrisy of some religions. I don't believe people go to hell and think everyone should do whatever makes them happy (except screwing animals and children).

@49

You said "and as for "spitting" on new york. well, something like this belongs in the bible thumping white trash dirty south. you wont find many new yorkers agreeing with this sentiment."

Quit being so fucking small-minded. I don't know if you've paid a visit to the South lately, but we kind of have more important things to worry about. LIKE RECOVERING FROM THE FUCKING HURRICANE!!!! Frankly, I live in a state that you would probably consider 'bible thumping white trash dirty south' and I can GUARANTEE that we don't have any nasty ass naked statues of Britney Spears giving birth doggie-style, while grasping a fucking bearskin rug. The fact is, that monstrosity is in YOUR neck of the woods. You seriously need to understand the meaning of the word 'stereotypes' and, in the future, try to avoid believing them.

seriously....I just snotted myself. "unofficial name" of the statue.

If real, too bizarre.

I'd hit it.

this monument makes me want to go get pregnant and have an abortion.

Britney is not placing family before her career... her carrer is based on a body she has lost, so she can't dance anymore. Period.

i am sorry, but having a kid at britney's age, or at michelle branchs age (21, married to a 40 year old-how long do you think that will last?) is NOT responsible or generally a good decision. i think the majority of people who marry and have kids that young end up divorced. in no way should anyone, or any art form be condoning it no matter who it is.
its a recipe for disaster. when women have kids that young its usually bc they are unstable and want someone who will "love them unconditionally". thats a great reason to have a kid.

From the source:
"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.

The monument also acknowledges the pop-diva's pin-up past by showing Spears seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as she clutches the bear's ears with 'water-retentive' hands.

"Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the 'right choice'," said artist Daniel Edwards, recipient of a 2005 Bartlebooth award from London's The Art Newspaper. "She was number one with Google last year, with good reason --- people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman," said Edwards.

Are these people serious?

That statue is a tribute to white trash in trailer-parks all across America. Shouldn't she be clutching a six-pack of Coors?

Last time I checked there was no crowning involved with a csection and when I was in labor I never looked like I was getting pounded in my ass.

Bastian, say my name.. It is MoonChild..

here's the link.. there are some OBSESSED Neverending Story fans out there.. I got this off of one of their freaky pages for ya.. http://scifiscripts.name2host.com/cartoon/never.htmis

shoot. it didn't come up.. try this... http://scifiscripts.name2host.com/cartoon/never.htm

shoot. it didn't come up.. try this...

Bastian:

But I can't ! I have to keep my feet on the ground!

Childlike Empress:

Call my name ! Bastian, please ! Save us !

Bastian:

All right, I'll do it. I'll save you. I will do what I dream!

He climbs up to the window and opens it. He leans out into the storm and calls out the name he had chosen for her.

Bastian:

MOONCHILD!

that is very disturbing

I bet Britney is a little freaked out about it as well

On its own, this pretty good porn. Which reminds me, you know the nice thing about f$cking a pregnant woman? You get a blow job at the same time.

This also reminds me of a statue some guy made after JFK Jr. crashed. It showed him as a grown man standing next to his father (who died when Jr. was about 3 years old), with his father's arm around his shoulders. The sculptor was pretty much laughed back to his studio.

Publicity seeking artists. If she had any class she'd sue someone's ass off.

if they were trying to make procreating sound like a worthy thing to do with the rest of your life, they could have picked a classier, less dirty breeder to use as an example.

"Britney Spears had a primary elective C-section, so this isn't even an accurate depiction of the birth of her son. I guess her gravid self strapped to an OR table with a foley catheter in her bladder and her abdomen split by a Pfannensteil incision wasn't artistic enough"

ditto!
another argument for birth control!!

Jennyjenjen...you rock. I heard it was Moonchild but I was totally thinking that Bastian would call out his mother's name. So when he belted out Moonchild, I was like, what the hell name is that? Because it sounded like "MON-TY-AAHHHH!"
I mean, maybe his mom was a hippie and renamed herself. All kinds of conspiracy theories. But the most fitting theory is that Bastian is a complete dork so would totally come up with that dumb name rather than name her after his mother. This is the same kid that when he could make wishes, he wished to ride on Falcor rather than have his mom back.
Yes I know this has nothing to do with Britney.
And can I also add that when Artax died I was traumatized for life.

Jennyjenjen and Maeve97

Yeah, I've actually seen that website before. Neverending Story kicked so much ass. The second one was just SUCH a travesty. It pissed me off to no end that that piece of garbage was the supposed follow-up to the cinematic genius that was Neverending Story. Either of you guys see D.A.R.R.Y.L.? That movie was also the bomb and also starred the enchanting Barrett Oliver. Wonder what ever happened to him? Here's my favorite part of Neverending Story. You know when they first come upon the rock-biter and the little bat guy and the guy that rides the snail are talking amongst themselves? I love how the rock-biter is going on about all the yummy rocks they used to have before the Nothing came along and the little bat guy goes "Is he pfft pfft a nutcase?" That cracks me up!!!

Another Britney story???

tsk, tsk, tsk...

this makes me want to get an abortion and i'm not even pregnant!

god and now she's knocked up again. didn't she like just have a kid yesterday? stupid white trash people seem to be breeding like rabbits. I sure hope that Kevin moron is making her happy because she has really gone downhill since he came along

i'm sorry, but britney only wishes she was as skinny as that statue.

she looks like she's ready for someone to do her doggy-style!!!!!

she looks like she's ready for someone to do her doggy-style!!!!!

Since when does choosing to have a baby make her pro-life? I know young mothers who are pro-choicers.
I think that the artist is being ironic. In that birth is meant to be natural and a mother is meant to be the primary caregiver (as a food source)in the first few months. The cow had a c-section, has a nanny and formula feeds. He just used B.S as the subject because she's well known and so the irony will be more obvious. I think that went straight over your heads *whoosh*.

Mamacita...
Poor Rockbiter, I am convinced that was him when they showed the Nothing taking over everything and a pile of rocks blowing away.
Ok, this is horrible, but I heard a rumor that the Artax horse actually drowned in the mud while filming the scene due to an accident involving the pullies or whatever. And then I heard that was kind of like an urban legend about the movie and wasn't true. Do you or Jennyjenjen know whether that is true?
I heard that rumor since the last time I watched the movie and I don't know if I can see that scene again if it's true that Artax really dies.

Even in statues of her Britney still has that blank dumbass look on her face. Irritating is the only word I can get out before it turns into angry jibberish.
So, for all us mothers out there who don't let there infants drive, don't stay with moneysuckers, and actually hold their children, what do we get? It just teaches us to 'dumb it down' to get recognized. Sad. Really.

No offense #95, BUT Britney Spears is from Louisiana. Also, not to stereotype, most people realize that not EVERYONE in the South are Bible thumping pro lifers, but plain statistics show that they are the majority there whereas they are not in NY. So yes a pro life monument would be more expected in the South. And it is Britney's home. Sorry.

#118

Yes, I'm sure that's it. It's just because we're all too stupid and not artsy enough to have gotten the irony of the piece. Hmmm, either that or it just SUCKS BALLS!!!!! I think I'll go with the SUCKS BALLS theory. Oooh, look how nicely the two instances of SUCKS BALLS lined up there. Totally unintentional, I swear. Or, maybe it's irony and I think it went straight over YOUR head *whoosh*.

#121

I'm not saying it wouldn't be more expected in the South. I fully realize that the concentration of churches and pro-lifers is much higher here than it is in other parts of the United States. What I took offense to was the WAY she categorized the South, which was as 'bible thumping white trash dirty south'. It's quite easy for someone who's endowed with some tact to get a point across without being completely offensive and rude. You managed to do that and I can take your point into consideration without being pissed off because you weren't a bitch about the way you presented it.

I am just thanking the good Lord, Xenu, Jesus, Buddha, above that we have NOT been treated to the rear view. The anus isn't a pretty body feature on the best of days, and during childbirth....what happens to it is not a subject of conversation....

Actually, this is no joke, giving birth in the "doggy" position one of the easier positions!

About the Neverending Story references: Why the movie? The book is SO much better.

Actually, I lied; I've never seen the movie.

Also, that statue's gross. I don't like the idea of honoring Britney Spears in the first place, but there's GOT to be a better way to present this. There are plenty of pieces representing pregnant women that are both tasteful and gorgeous; this is neither.

......

Actually, if you really read that last sentence, you will see just why this sculpture is sheer brilliance. So, to whoever made this: you, sir, are a genius. You have made a sculpture that has captured the essence of Britney Spears perfectly.

#122 - why are you always getting into confrontations with people?

#127

Geez. You again?

I think Britney should buy it and prominently display it on her front lawn.

#128
yup

It looks more like Tori Spelling than Spears.

And it really does look like a pornographic statue than a birthing statue.

Could have been done more tastefully.

(first post ever but I've been reading for a good 6 months!!)

"Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston,"

More like Monument to Being a Good Sport: Taking It Up The Ass

(The fact that there are 132 comments about this story made me giggle...do any of us have lives?)

Artist is SOOO going to Artist-Hell

from the article -
And according to gallery co-director, David Kesting, the artist studied a bearskin rug from Canada “to convey the commemoration of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture.”

traditional bearskin rug baby picture? how is it that i've never heard of this tradition? could i possibly be so cultually deprived?

Posted by cbmd:
"Britney Spears had a primary elective C-section, so this isn't even an accurate depiction of the birth of her son."

Yeah genius, I was kinda already tipped off by the BEAR HEAD!
I skipped on commenting on this earlier cuz it's was too F**ked up for me to grasp. The shock has worn down a bit and now I'm wondering if a better title isn't:
"The Unlawfull Conception of The Bastard Child Sean Preston"
(they could add a scawny "wife-beater" wearing K-Fed holding her ass to balance himself while giving it to her)

My friend went to a museum in Germany where you could ride Falcor and at the same time watch your self soaring through the skies with him on a gigantic bluescreen. i would have KILLED for that when I was 8.

OMG I can just bet y'all that she's got 2 of these on order as yard art. You know how some peeps have the majestic lions guarding their pathways...Brit and K-fag will have these beautys right along with the pink flamingos! TFF

#136

Oh my God. That is so awesome!!!!! The only thing I'd need to make the experience complete is a little room where you could dress like the Childlike Empress and have your picture taken. Me, my brother, and sister used to 'play' Neverending Story all the time.

#119 I never have heard that rumor. Although, my daughter was traumatized by that scene in the movie. I played that movie for her for the first time when she was about 4, and she just cried and cried on that part. She still begged me to watch it again, though.

#126 Honestly, I didn't know there was a book until I went on IMDB yesterday to see what happened to ole Barret Oliver. You're seriously missing out, though. You have to see the movie. I'll have to see about getting the book.

Are they going to make a sculpture of Angelina Jolie giving birth, too?

OMG, I can't stop laughing when I look at that big ass. It looks so weird.

BARF!!! This is just too gross. Why Britney?? there have got to be more inspirational mothers out there? Ones that dont try to kill their babies by driving with them on their laps. And didn't she have a C-Section?? Ugh, i hate to imagine that sculpture!

A pro-lifer who wants all pro-choicers to die and go to hell. How original and hypocritical.

#142- are you serious or just trying to start trouble because you're bored?

How tastless and IRONIC, considering that she did not 'give birth' vaginally but instead CHOSE to have a c-section. I'm tired of seeing this dirty cunt, literally.

guy wanted some attention for his art exhibit, seems to have worked with the superficial crew. Doubtful Britney could prevail in a lawsuit, unless he starts selling copies on eBay or through Franklin Mint. Could be a nice gift idea for red state grandmas.

I'm pro-life and I don't want people who believe differently than myself to 'die and go to hell'. I don't think that the majority of people who are pro-life are fanatics or want people who have an opposing belief to 'die and go to hell'. I think you're doing a disservice by lumping together all people who ARE pro-life and DON'T feel the way that #142 feels.

People! It's a joke! It's not Pro-Life any more than Britney is Pro-Education! And it's not really supposed to be her, it's a metaphor and supposed to piss you off and laugh at how much you actually do give a shit about Britney and her ass backwards life. Seriously, how much attention does she get for being a moron? And yet, you eat it up! Jokes on you, it's art and you don't get it. The whole essay is based in irony, it's tongue in cheek. So put a quarter in your ass cause you just played yourself...

Ummm, which hole is the baby poking out of?

Britney is the last person who ought to be classified as the poster-child for having children. She be a better candidate for state mandated tubal ligation. Her husband is definitely pro-life, he's going around making life anywhere he happens to fall.

I was speaking directly to #142, not all pro-lifers. I know you are not all a bunch James C. Kopp wannabes.

No offense meant.

If I were Britney, I'd be pissed off that joke or no, my name had been hijacked by a political group to promote their cause when she might not be pro-life herself.
But then, the list of things I'd do differently if I were Britney is long. And includes wearing shoes.

Looks like the Pro-Lifers got together with the NRA, and Ron Jeremy for this one. Don't go killin' no babies, ohhh no.. but make sure that when you bring that beautiful life into the world, you're doggystyle on a bearskin rug complete with dead bear head.

You know, when I was saying 'go to hell' I actually didn't literally mean it. Sheesh. And I'm not even defending the pro-life nutjob who did this 'art' - how can a person give birth in that position. I guess my parents didn't give me all the information I needed.

What people don't realize is that this particular statue is located in the men's bathroom and Britney's ass doubles as a hand dryer.

It's cool. I just hate when people get the wrong idea because of the bad apples, ya know? They completely nullify the sentiment behind the term pro-LIFE.

tacky....it looks like it could be some kind of porn star award!!! what a joke....

Are you fucking kidding me? The woman endangered the welfare of her child. Plus the bitch didn't even give birth naturally!!!!!

It's a sad day for women. Plus why is the statue in the doggystyle position???

Let's make a monument of Tom Cruise jumping on a couch to honour his tomato soup eating, crazy scientoligist ways! I'm shocked..SHOCKED. What is the world coming to?

This is just a ploy to get a shitty sculpture some press and attention. Britney made a brave choice? haha.. yeah marrying a loser with a pregnant girlfriend, having a baby, getting drunk and driving him around w/o a carseat! NICE.. BRAVE CHOICE! haha

So I guess Britney gave a huge donation to build a new park in Brooklyn or something and she also bought this statue herself and paid them to dedicate it to her. You know what, dedicate it to Reese Witherspoon who also had a baby young now has two and IS a shining example of a lady. God I hate living on this planet right now. Scuse me while I call my drug dealer.

What's UP?!!! Long time no see!

Oh thanks mamacita, I appreciate that. :) It's ok to have differences and I hate stereotypes.

@162

I just kind of blew up on that person because of what she said about the South. I'm no rebel flag carrying loyalist, but damn. We've been through a lot in the last several months. I was just in Gulfport on HWY 90 last weekend and the devastation there is unbelievable. I live about an hour away from both New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, so I'm pretty close to all the damage. We saw damage too, just not like they did, because we're not on the water. It just infuriated me because everyone down here is just trying to recover from that and obviously no one here is trying to glorify Britney Spears or waste their time/money on some artsy fartsy piece of crap statue. Plus, I just hate it when people think that everyone in the South is a racist, bigoted, Confederate flag waving yokel.

I, too, am from Louisiana, and I took a poll. Out of 100 people 90% interviewed had this to say about the controversial tributary statue to Mrs. Spears-Federline: "Skeet skeet skeet skeet." I hope this settles any East Coast - Third Coast rap wars that were about to ensue (I am such a diplomat).

Ahaha, now thats funny!

Ho-lee crap.

WTF?!?
I am no expert, but who gives birth with their ass up in the air?!?!
If anything, i would say that this monument is a depiction of how Britney got pregnant in the first place.
As an artist and pro-life supporter, i am deeply offended and perplexed by this...shit. :S

Pro life?? That's great and all, but so is birth control. It's more like Pro-Ho.

Does anybody else find it ironic that most Pro-Lifers are so fanatical that they will blow up abortion clinics thus killing INNOCENT people, the very thing they are trying to prevent. How assinine is that? You never see Pro-Choicers telling Pro-Lifer people to go to hell and die. The fucks up with that?

The reason they didn't show the back of the statue is because she is actually giving birth to a can of Pepsi and some Cheetoes. The Pro-Life organization couldn't fully pay the artist for this masterpiece, so other sponcers had to get in on the deal too. You see, Cheetoes originally wanted the Bear-rug to be Chester the Cheetah, but when the State of Montana found out, they paid some extra cash to change it to a bear, stating, "It will be better for tourists to know that we promote the slaughtering of bears every year, but we are a pro-life state, like our nieghbors' in South Dakota."

Disgusting.

Disgusting.

Considering the birthing was a C-section, and the doctor would have to get under her on a trolley like they use at car shops...unless...

Omigod. Bad thought. I'm not even going to go there.

and here's the flipside:

I want to know how many abortions Brit's had since her daddy started playing his special games with her...

Just more proof that the pro-life people are just as nutty as ever. Way to make a point guys!

That is the most disgusting thing I have seen.. in well, several days.

I don't know who wrote this article, but I want him to make me his sexy outlaw. =) Thank you for making me laugh in the middle of an otherwise frutrating and rather unfulfilling day.

Wait a minute...from what i saw on television it was that she was planning a C-section but went in to labor on Sept. 14. So if she went into labor that means that she didn't have the C-section because she wasn't due until the 18th. So i think she did have a natural childbirth. The only reason i know is because i live in New Orleans and I was evacuated to another city with FOX news channel on and at the bottom of the screen it ran across saying she went into labor and had her baby, and i remember too cuz it was on my birthday. She wasn't due for surgery for another 4 days...so i think that this monument is right.

i have to say, that's pretty cool

that's actually kind of cool
