Yikes!!!

[TinyGrasshopper]

I think the point of it was to show a display of a famous face in an unappealing position as opposed to views of celebs that everyone is accustomed to.

This "thing" is called,

Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston

Oddly enough the one picture angle i want to see (that they convieniently forget to show) is the one where they say the baby's head is now coming out....

and here is a comical opinion of this thing: http://jenee.net/britney-spears-birth

part of the press release (scary to read): 

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.

This to promote pro-life/anti-abortion?? .... the artist is a nut yes.... but whatever; at least he didn't sculpt the prophet!!

[TriniXaeno]

lol

a bit absurd but I like the pro-life notion attached.

Someone in Britney's position could easily have gone the route of abortion. Her looks is half of her appeal and getting bent out of shape to make a baby is a serious risk to take at the high point of your entertainment career.

Lauren Hill (spell check on that) from Fugees made a similar choice.

Applause idmc.

Warning added. Be more careful in the future next time, gdstech....you never know which parent or boss might take something like that the wrong way.

[W1nTry]

A few things.. I didn't think it really looked like her.... it made her @$$ look really flat... and yeah @ shot ppl want to see. Pro-life or otherwise I don't beef noone for their choice. I myself say life would be the way to go, but after enough discussions over the years i've come to conclusion that ppl have a right to do what they think is best and noone has a right to say otherwise (save the parents/rent to be in question). If they were to use any money made off of this, I hope its all donated to charity.

[Saxito Pau]

your adviosry is true New_Era..... some people might really take the sculpure teh wrong way (nude@work=porn@work=no more work).

I certainly have a problem with the pose for the said birth... I think we all agree that it is a pose for conception rather than delivery.  But hey, tis art, right?

I've read that is not Brtiney sanctioned...... and on top of the the artist had his kids (ages 3,6 & 8)help him create it. I dunno.... that just takes playing with clay to another level there.

[Jdcrys_Shinkuu]

looks like an insult to art ....... did they really need to have "it" pose like that....
