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.

    This is just a ploy to get a shitty sculpture some press and attention. Britney made a brave choice? haha.. yeah marrying a loser with a pregnant girlfriend, having a baby, getting drunk and driving him around w/o a carseat! NICE.. BRAVE CHOICE! haha

    So I guess Britney gave a huge donation to build a new park in Brooklyn or something and she also bought this statue herself and paid them to dedicate it to her. You know what, dedicate it to Reese Witherspoon who also had a baby young now has two and IS a shining example of a lady. God I hate living on this planet right now. Scuse me while I call my drug dealer.

    I just kind of blew up on that person because of what she said about the South. I’m no rebel flag carrying loyalist, but damn. We’ve been through a lot in the last several months. I was just in Gulfport on HWY 90 last weekend and the devastation there is unbelievable. I live about an hour away from both New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, so I’m pretty close to all the damage. We saw damage too, just not like they did, because we’re not on the water. It just infuriated me because everyone down here is just trying to recover from that and obviously no one here is trying to glorify Britney Spears or waste their time/money on some artsy fartsy piece of crap statue. Plus, I just hate it when people think that everyone in the South is a racist, bigoted, Confederate flag waving yokel.

    I, too, am from Louisiana, and I took a poll. Out of 100 people 90% interviewed had this to say about the controversial tributary statue to Mrs. Spears-Federline: “Skeet skeet skeet skeet.” I hope this settles any East Coast – Third Coast rap wars that were about to ensue (I am such a diplomat).

    WTF?!?
    I am no expert, but who gives birth with their ass up in the air?!?!
    If anything, i would say that this monument is a depiction of how Britney got pregnant in the first place.
    As an artist and pro-life supporter, i am deeply offended and perplexed by this…shit. :S

    Pro life?? That’s great and all, but so is birth control. It’s more like Pro-Ho.

    Does anybody else find it ironic that most Pro-Lifers are so fanatical that they will blow up abortion clinics thus killing INNOCENT people, the very thing they are trying to prevent. How assinine is that? You never see Pro-Choicers telling Pro-Lifer people to go to hell and die. The fucks up with that?

  12. The reason they didn’t show the back of the statue is because she is actually giving birth to a can of Pepsi and some Cheetoes. The Pro-Life organization couldn’t fully pay the artist for this masterpiece, so other sponcers had to get in on the deal too. You see, Cheetoes originally wanted the Bear-rug to be Chester the Cheetah, but when the State of Montana found out, they paid some extra cash to change it to a bear, stating, “It will be better for tourists to know that we promote the slaughtering of bears every year, but we are a pro-life state, like our nieghbors’ in South Dakota.”

    Considering the birthing was a C-section, and the doctor would have to get under her on a trolley like they use at car shops…unless…

    Omigod. Bad thought. I’m not even going to go there.

    I want to know how many abortions Brit’s had since her daddy started playing his special games with her…

    Just more proof that the pro-life people are just as nutty as ever. Way to make a point guys!

    I don’t know who wrote this article, but I want him to make me his sexy outlaw. =) Thank you for making me laugh in the middle of an otherwise frutrating and rather unfulfilling day.

    Wait a minute…from what i saw on television it was that she was planning a C-section but went in to labor on Sept. 14. So if she went into labor that means that she didn’t have the C-section because she wasn’t due until the 18th. So i think she did have a natural childbirth. The only reason i know is because i live in New Orleans and I was evacuated to another city with FOX news channel on and at the bottom of the screen it ran across saying she went into labor and had her baby, and i remember too cuz it was on my birthday. She wasn’t due for surgery for another 4 days…so i think that this monument is right.

  22. i have to say, that’s pretty cool

  23. that’s actually kind of cool
