Here's a new one. A blurb about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Creating "fine art" out of baby poo.

I can just see it. It'll become a trend. Some company somewhere will start offering to bronze baby's first poo.

Yuck.

I think this hole baby-poop art thing is a sign that people are running out of original ideas and society is declining as a whole. These people need to get over themselves! It's one thing to treasure a child's favorite toy or something, but poop? It just shows how parenthood is put on a pedestal to the point where parents and they're little darlings can do no wrong. Unfortunately, I think the kind of people who bronze their kids' baby poop are breeding a bunch of narcissistic, self-centered, undisciplined brats who have a God complex.

Sorry, I'm just on a roll today!

I think the group mentioned towards the end of that article has it right,
"and also the absurdity of the media coverage on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' new baby, Suri Cruise, which has reached stellar proportions, eclipsing far more notable events with more substance"

Its a shame to see what the world is coming too. What happened to rights of privacy? When did society declare people's lives fair game. I don't care what they do for a living. If no one bugged them about their child, I have to believe this wouldn't even be an issue. I'm pretty sick of the baby world now becoming fair game in hollywood. I can't believe anyone thinks a bloated pregnant belly is attractive. Demi Moore did it first anyway. And at least she had the decency to be painted.

Our country has so many other issues to deal with and so many other important things to focus on...who cares about a baby's poop? It doesn't say much about the media or our society.

Okay, just to clarify, the artist is being satirical--he's commenting on how "celebrity poop" overshadows important things in our society, and celebrities are so "precious" to us that we think their poop is art. It's not really poop they're bronzing, it's a "replica" to say "here's what's next".

Paparazzi are all over celebrities because common people buy magazines with their pictures on the front and he's saying that we as a society worship baby cr*p if it's a famous baby. And, I think he's right. These people, our heroes, are actors and models and sports stars and we go goofy over them while true heroes are underpaid and ignored because they aren't pretty enough.

And frankly, while we are at war and young soldiers are dying every day for us to have the right to worship celebrity baby poop, I think it is a sad commentary on our society and our culture.

But, if this same artist does a sculpture of the body parts of soldiers being blown apart, it's too violent and too "real". But, maybe if we paid as much attention to that as we do to Tom Cruise. . . ????

[color:"blue"] You are right on target, BellaDeb. I care more about the G.I.'s and soldiers, than I do some pathetic celebrity. Some celebrities seem not to give a rat�s [censored] about our military or the war on terror. Shame on them!
I find pregnancy repulsive. I could care less about anybodies pregnant body. I don�t find it pretty, or �so natural� b/c I just don�t give a rat�s [censored] rather it is some plain Jane, or some celebrity. [/color]
