You will think I made this up...

But as far as I can tell, it's true. *shudder*

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.


1. WTF?!?
2. Chica had an elective c-section- not exactly on all fours primally birthing. And although I've never had one, I have watched a lot of "A Baby Story" and I am pretty sure that is not the standard c-section position either.
3. Pro-life? Buh?
4. BritBrit as the poster child for having a child at a young age and putting her family first? *gag* Where's the monument for Reese???
5. I can't even comment on the bear head/bear skin rug...there are no words. And my eyes - they burn.

Um, I think the blow-up doll thought is probably true. I don't think I remember this position in childbirth. It makes the doctors uncomfortable.

I think the fabric of my being just tore a litte.

Now don't go blaming sweet Britney for this, just cuz some artist goes and dedicates his sculpture to her. Britney is a mother to three, and a hero to all.

It's like a car accident. I'm horrified, but I can't help coming back to see it in all it's obscenely morally-superior glory. Do they really think this was created to glorify the choice of motherhood? It was created to glorify doggy-style.

I don't know whether to laugh because they are so deluded or to cry because some people in this country are so easily deluded.

Yeah...not a good birthing position there...baby'd have to move UP...and it's hard enough to get it to move DOWN even when in another position like kneeling.

Also, I don't know if that's a bear...I'm thinking it might be supposed to be a wolf...since Brittany is one of those women who runs with the wolves as much as she's a monument to prolife...ya know.

Do you think they'll make a Brittany Spears car seat with extra-easy-to-put-baby-in design for when you're fleeing the paparazzi?

Yeah, gonna have to rethink my position on obscenity laws after this one. Maybe there is a place in this world for the occasional statue-smash or canvas-slash.

Ok, it's real - it's on CNN. Fortunately, there's no picture in their article, but here's the link.

Oh, and it is a bearskin according to the article.

Please blog again. I come here everyday to see what's going on and am greeted by yet another glimpse of Britney's upturned posterior. I just keep hoping my husband doesn't walk in.
