One of those OMFG moments...

Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston.

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.

[...]

"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.

I'm still convinced the artist is mocking someone. I just can't figure out who yet.

The fact this is probably very real and very serious points out to myself how far on the other side of the spectrum my mind lies.

A list of examples of cases where intelectual property control may have gone a little far. [via BoingBoing I think]

I like how in my original post I spelt intellectual wrong...

Spelling is for chumps.

If recording technology and playback technology (VR) get good enough, do we really need to go to mars?

See time travel...
