Why yes, as a matter of fact, that is Britney Spears giving birth atop a bearskin rug. What, it's not obvious?
For any of you New York-based Barrelhousers, the sculpture is on display at Capla Kesting Fine Arts in Brooklyn.
According to the announcement, the piece is a "monument to pro-life." Leaving aside for a moment the problematic grammar of that phrase's construction, I've got to assume (hope?) that the sentiment is meant ironically. Though, if it is, apparently no one bothered to clue in the Manhattan Right to Life Committee, which purportedly donated materials to the project.
Gallery Co-Director Lincoln Capla said: “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."
Here are some more details from the announcement:
"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.
"The monument also acknowledges the pop-diva’s pin-up past by showing Spears seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as she clutches the bear’s ears with ‘water-retentive’ hands."
Thanks (if thanks are, in fact, what's due here) to Earth Goat for the link.

Is it wrong that I really, really want to see this thing from the other end?
I mean, not enough to drive to Brooklyn, at least not for that reason alone, but, I have to tell you, if I happen to be in the neighborhood, there's a pretty good chance I'd plop down ten bucks for a look.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
