Sure we’ve always known she personally had no taste. But now it appears she inspires tastelessness in [others.](http://www.caplakesting.com/2006_catalog/de/index.htm) (borderline NSFW) ---

Is Britney publically pro-life? I find the inferrance that she serves as some kind of role model for women “with a hard choice” amusing. Yes, if you’re young, married, healthy, have a supportive family, and are unimaginably wealthy, in other words, if 90% of the reasons women choose abortion do not apply to you, then you should consider carrying the pregnancy to term. :rolleyes: ---

From what I understand, they only attached her name to the sculpture to gain publicity. Didn’t she have a C-section? ---

Wow. I’m really disturbed by that sculpture. It’s so… so… porny. Birthporn. ---

Am I to conclude the accompanying text is NOT satire? Now I’m left wondering if, four thousand years from now, the Venus de Milo and THAT will be next to each other in a museum. I’m scared to think of what the future will decide our society was like based on that statue of Britney. :eek: ---

😕 Why is she giving birth “doggy style”? I mean, is that considered to be the new medically recommended position for giving birth, or is it the trendy new birth position for celebrities, or what? :dubious: ---

From the linked article: > [@](#): > > “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. I’m calling bullshit on this. Infinitely more likely - BritBrit and K-Fed couldn’t figure out the intricacies of not getting pregnant. That statue is garbage (the posterior view apparently shows the baby’s head crowning, surrounded by what I assume are female genitalia and her bunghole), and the text to go with it is garbage. Yes, giving birth is natural, blahblahblah, but so is taking a shit, and I don’t want to see statues of that, either. ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > The statue looks like it’s made out of bronze, but I suspect it’s really a big chunk of irony. I looked up the Bartlebooth Award the artist won, and it’s for his [Ted Williams Death Mask piece](http://www.fountainexhibit.com/ckfa.htm). I’m not sure if the artist is trying to be ironic (I think the award probably is intended that way), but this doesn’t seem to be serious either. ---

Boy is that artist blind. He evidently has a. never seen a fully gravid pregnant woman b. never saw britney pregnant c. Hi Opal To say that britney lost any semblence of appeal while pregnant is an understatement, she was dirty, trashy, mushy and in no way resembling anything in that statue. Sweet baby jeebus. I’m all for women becoming one with their pregancy, gaining all the weight they should, but ya know, just because they don’t want ya hanging out in hot tubs does not mean you have to bring on the skank like britney did. Oh poo. I spent my pregnancy obsessing over britney snark because we were pregnant at the same time and I got to gloat about how much better, I, at almost 20 years older than her, could keep it together/cleaner far more than she could. My name is Auntbeast, and I am a gossip-aholic. (please don’t make me reveal my bookmarks) ---

Besides, Britney had an elective c-section because she didn’t want to go through labor. :rolleyes: ---

Giving birth on hands and knees is getting more popular. It gets the mother off her sacrum, opening up the pelvis is a different way. It can really help when the baby is in a poor position. However, women don’t arch their back like that when pushing on hands and knees, and the shape of her pelvis is improbable. Pelvises aren’t shaped like that when babies are actually moving through them. It fails my reality test. ---
