Thursday, March 23, 2006<br>Nude Britney Spears Serves As Pro-Life Monument <br>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.<br><br><br><br><br><br>From the Capla Kesting Fine Art Gallery in Brooklyn:<br><br><br>"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. <br><br>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.<br><br>"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. <br><br>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. <br><br>"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.<br><br>Capla Kesting denies the statue was developed from a rumored bootleg Britney Spears birth video. The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pole-dancing Britney at Las Vegas' Madame Tussauds and 'Britney wigs' characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-princess from a Los Angeles hairstylist. 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." <br><br>An appropriate location for permanent installation of "Monument to Pro-Life" by Mother's Day is being sought by the gallery.<br><br>"Monument to Pro-Life" is on view April 7th thru 23rd with a reception for the dedication April 7th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Capla Kesting Fine Art, 121 Roebling St., Brooklyn, NY. Gallery hours are 1:00 – 6:00 pm Thursday thru Sunday, or by appointment.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>// posted by JD @ 1:19 PM <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

More Britneys is an argument FOR abortion. How many bubbleheaded celebrities do we need? <p></p><i></i>

Gawd, what an ugly statue. Only matched by its stupid, insipidly-intended purpose.<br><br>"An appropriate location for permanent installation of "Monument to Pro-Life" by Mother's Day is being sought by the gallery."<br><br>I'd suggest downtown Baghdad on Firdos Square would be a very fitting location, sort-of a parodic dual-celebration including recognition of the Iraqi peoples' Right To Life as a sovereign nation -- though it's to be expected that most Americans might not appreciate the embedded irony.<br><br>Firdos Square is where Saddam's statue once stood before it was pulled-down by cheering ex-pat Iraqis (assisted by a Marine tank crew) who were jetted-in by the CIA on the heels of the invasion. The Square is right between the Shearton Hotel and the Sept. the 14th Mosque -- which is also known as the CNN Mosque because it's often shown as backdrop to Baghdad newscasts. <br><br>A lifesize statue of nude pop-star diva Brittney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug in the center of newly 'liberated' and perpetually pre-renovated Baghdad would sure be a very fitting contemporary monument commemorating the value of abortion as an excellant choice in some limited situations, esp. re: moronic, shamelessly-exploitive publicity-gimmick social-issue stunts and illegal 'pre-emptive' wars.<br><br>Starman<br> <p></p><i></i>

I'm sorry, I know I have a quirky sense of humor, but this tickled my phunny bone:<br><br>Bush, in Mexico this week:<br><br>"We don't want people sneaking into our country who are going to do jobs Americans don't want," Bush said. "We want them coming in an orderly way."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
