Anni,

Being in WIlliamsburg I guess I'll have to go and take a look. I haven't seen a baby come out of the opposite end in quite some time. I'll let you know if Brit's baby changes my attitude from pro-choice to no choice (as pro-life should be called). I am pro-choice but still very much in favor of all things living, but I draw the line at telling anybody what to do with things growing inside of their bodies be they cysts, tumors, abcesses, fetuses, or polyps.

That Britney sculpture is enough to make a person lose sleep though, isn't it?

ROFLMAO - I can't believe this guy [the "artist"] are for real -- who the F!CK wants to look at a sculpture of THAT?!

And something in me believes he chose Britney as a subject to cash in on her celebrity status.

Disturbing indeed.

is. IS! So much for previewing... :)

If you go, take pictures and send them to me, Strawman. You can be annika's journal's exclusive reporter on the ground! Especially if you have to get on the ground for the best camera angle.

You see, its stuff like this that brings out the totalitarian dictator in me. Why do I feel the overwhelming compulsion to stick this Artist in a gaint cuisinart?

this has gotta be a publicity stunt cooked up by britney's PR people

btw, i read somewhere she didn't even conceive vaginally, but was afraid of the pain and chose to have a non-necessary c-section

i too would love to see a "money shot" of this thing, if strawman can get a pic...

Then I guess its a good thing that there are no gallerys or modern art museums down in the holler by Kyles trailer. And soon, when he's old enough to have sex outside the family he could take an art appreciation course over the Grange where he will lean about others like himself in history who wanted to take take a hammer to Michelangelo's David.

Notice how it is almost always Rebublicans that have trouble with sexually provocative art? They don't get it, want to ban it, find it offensive, don't want children to see it, want to kill the maker.

I saw a Discovery Channel documentary about the LAs Fallas festival which is a variety of a pre lent kinda thing. Without going into an in depth description of the whole event which is very beautiful and goes on for two weeks, I was struck by a mother and her 8-9 year old son walking through a museum of sculptures kept from previous festivals and explaining to him the symbolism contained in a scene of a streetwalker with her breast out suckling a sailor. It seemed perfectly natural but of course it was not America, where Kyle's mom would have shielded his eyes as they went past and been tounge tied, embarrassed and unable to explain in an age appropriate manner to her son the what was going on. So, now, go figure, Kyle as a semi-adult has fantasies of putting creators of provocative art in blenders. And people wonder why America is so violent, in love with guns and militarism.

How did I know that a leftist asshole like you would like this kind of stupid worthless shit?

Straw,

You must practice in the mirror to be so condescending. Let me guess, you're about twenty and know everything. We're so lucky you choose to share with us poor, humble rednecks. It must really suck, not to be you, right?

Because it's so easy, insulting people about whom you know nothing. Piss Christ, bring it on. Those Christians won't do jack. Mohammed cartoons, well we are respectful of minorities. Real reason: we don't want to insult anybody who might do something about it.

I suspect a lot of what you consider art, I consider trash. The subject of this post doesn't move me a bit - you might consider it art, I call it a waste of time. It might be different for you. I'm not going to tell you what to think, or feel. And I'm not going to generalize about democrats or liberals based on you. I am going to say that forcing people to pay taxes, like they did in NY, to subsidize the exhibition of the "piss Christ" is wrong. If the Britney statue is private, have at it. They won't be getting my money - I'd rather spend it on the theater.

Heh, i may not know art... but who can naysay a comely woman's upturned ass?

Pro-life, except for the bear...

Kyle,

Never said I liked it just that on first glance i didn't have homicidal fantasies. Could be good art could be bad art. I'll see. What an artist does is make art.

MARK,

All of our taxes go to support all kinds of stupid shit. The problems start when people like you or me think we should decide what it should or should not be spent on unless of course it is being spent on the destruction of churches, or Iraq. I think paying W a salary is contrary to the best interests of our society, an offense to my religion and a crime against humanity of an order that makes christ's piss wet feet about as offending as a rainy day in Phoenix.
