"We also got calls from Tokyo, England, France. Some people are upset that Britney is being used for this subject matter," said gallery co-owner David Kesting. "Others who are pro-life thought this was degrading to their movement. And some pro-choice people were upset that this is a pro-life monument."

Sadly the gallery doesn't open until Apr. 7, but it looks like that's gonna be the only way for us to see a baby coming out of her vagina...

Seriously though, it bears no resemblance to Britney

― m[ad(a)m]an (UL®) (blastocyst), Thursday, 30 March 2006 19:17 (twenty years ago)

it's refreshing to live in a culture where a snapshot of our emergence into the world is offensive.

i mean jesu, it's not like it's hot pics of birds and bees buttfuckin, it's a head coming out of a coochie! we've all been there! well, except for c-sectioners like myself... but i digress with my retard rant.

carry on,

― msp (mspa), Thursday, 30 March 2006 19:22 (twenty years ago)

refreshing? you've lived in other cultures in which wide open pussy is on display openly?

Okay I don't know what you do in your spare time but if it involves seeing a lot of babies being born on bearskin rugs, you are way more interesting than I am.

Two of my friends are midwives that specialize in home-births. One is married to an SF NOISE LEGEND.

YES PLS DO.

Is that what that's supposed to be?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 30 March 2006 21:23 (twenty years ago)

It's supposed to be fucking genius is what it's supposed to be.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 March 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Exactly. An inspiration

Dude did a good job sculpting the ankle.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 31 March 2006 02:52 (twenty years ago)

didn't Britney have a c-section?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 31 March 2006 02:58 (twenty years ago)

i hope the nose bored is aware of the birth-porn fetish that exists in certain circles. i'm not so sure that sculptor-dude is.

LOL @ "the business end"

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 31 March 2006 07:43 (twenty years ago)

re: birth fetish.....

i guess something else to consider is that a lot of women (in the west at least) don't give birth in that kind of position. there are more positions than just the on your back with your feet in stirrups, etc, but uh...

meanwhile, well.. that's a nice position for something else.
m.

ps what? picking fleas off the bear's head. maybe britney's just really into veterinary care. she just does it naked, with her ass in the air. who doesn't?

― msp (mspa), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:19 (twenty years ago)

mostly i don't get how it's supposed to be "pro-life". it's more just a bizarre, idealized, eroticized version of birth that really doesn't exist in this country, at least. most women end up in the hospital flat on their backs, etc. etc. and around 40% of those end up with c-sections.

so, yeah.

have your babies at home. it's safer and way more fun.

― jeanne (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 1 April 2006 02:35 (twenty years ago)

ok peaple i'm gonna be honest with y'all --- the swculture rules because it makes me fantasize about mid-birth fellation by britney
