Gah….you seem well educated and I respect your comments and opinions. I would suggest, however, that you engage spellcheck and edit your remarks before submitting so you don’t appear to be the “idiot one”.

yes, I 100% beleive Ronald Reagan to another pointless celbrity. A man who’s puppetmaster ws George W. Bush who you may remember went on to be president himself. Reagan was put up as candidate BECAUSE he was a celebrity and was able to win over voters who were’nt interested in politics and would vote purely on the basis of him being a name they knew. It was almost genius but incredibly transparent in hindsight.
Reagans policies were developed by his think tanks who still fill the positions of power today. Go check what positions Obama’s people have filled in cabinet before, you might be surprised at how contradictory they are to his policies, and you may have noticed how he’s thrown his policies out the window and jumped on the corperate bandwagon, just like er…… Reagan.
Reagan and his ilk, by being an entirely innefectual puppet president, who started the set up for the fall which just happened, which resulted in the bailouts etc., because they gave omniscient power to corporate interests, who you might have noticed make more dollars than sense and appear to not give a shit about actual people.
So yes, Reagan was worse than Angelina Jolie, because at least hopefully nobody would be stupid enpough to make the same mistake twice. That goes for Schwarzenegger too.

I think the artist is a talented sculptor who is mentally ill. Also, in reply to Gah, “Do you believe Ronald Reagan to be another “pointless celebrity”? And, it is my personal opinion that the present administration doesn’t really know what the hell they are doing. I lost faith in our government when they started giving trillions of dollars to AIG, GM, etc for bailouts and bonuses.

*cough* *cough* The most blatant representation of Isis I’ve ever seen *cough*

but obviously, an trained commisioned artist wouldn’t think of something like symbolism, it’s only crazies who do that!!!

They’ll have her stood upon a plinth holding a torch next. Still, at least it means Madonna’s been binned as the new Isis, I don’t know how much longer I could’ve taken seeing endless pictures of a vapid vaccuous grandmother in skin tight lycra with muscles like a fucking jack russell. Angelina Joie apparently wants to leave acting behind and go into politics. thats just what we need, another pointless celebrity attempting to gain further fame through political circles, rather than leaving it to people who know what they’re doing.

I don’t think theres anything wrong with breast feeding.. i will breast feed my child when I have one.. i am also a very private person who won’t even take off my shirt in front of my mom so.. i would definetly not pull out my boob at the park and start feeding my baby.. i will pump before i leave the house and transfer it to a bottle.. It is still breast milk and good for the baby..

I like his art….but on a personal note, I am sick and tired of ‘titty nazis’ shoving breastfeeding down everyone’s throat. Not everyone can do it!! And, they are trying to ban formula from hospitals!! Oy! I had to get that off my chest! Again, I do like his art!!!!

This guy obviously seeks attention more than critical acclaim, but i do admit he is going about it the right way.
—
He ain’t creating sculptures of things that are happening/happened. For instance Brit did not give birth the way he created. But it was still fairly good to me. Hilary Clinton one was a JOKE but thats whats good. I doubt Bill has seen Hilary’s melons in a long time. Octomum was a tad weird, but yer. And now this is…

I still dont think he is a genius or some master of art. But he does know how to draw attention to his creations.

@a magical childhood, it’s not like she modeled for it. It was a depiction from a picture, and she might’ve wanted it to feel more natural, or more comfortable. And I’m pretty sure any woman nursing two babies at one time would seem tired, lol.

@gee, You’re opinions widely differ from everyone else’s, a lot of people believe breast feeding is a beautiful thing. And the women are not flaunting their chests when they are obviously feeding their children in a healthy manner. If you don’t teach your child about that, then that’s your own problem. Breastfeeding is not disrespecting a woman’s body.

I personally think it’s a beautiful statue. There is nothing rich, famous, or extravagant about it. It’s simple, natural, and depicts a scene that goes on around the world.

I dont think public breastfeeding needs to be promoted. No one likes to see a woman in public breastfeed. A breastfeeding breast isnt the most beautiful thing. How are we supposed to teach our children about privacy and respecting their own bodies when women are flaunting their chests…and we are giving all the peverted creepy men out there something to gawk at.

Yeah, I don’t know. I like the idea of promoting breastfeeding but it seems kinda exploitative of Angelina. Why did she have to be nude? Couldn’t she have her eyes open and not look so odd? She looks old, tired and kinda creepy. I would have loved to see her with a more traditional hold and smiling down at the babies.

I know the football hold is a good one, but I think it’s generally used with a Boppy or some sort of support under the rest of the baby’s body. The whole thing just looks off. I’ve nursed four babies and I’ve never stripped naked, tucked them under my arms and sat on a box with my eyes closed to do it. :)

Any word on what Angelina thinks of it?

@chase – yes it is. i am currently breastfeeding my son, and during pregnancy, i read about breastfeeding and there were section on feeding twins, and this is what is suggested

By: CHASE

CHASE — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:37:30 +0000

Is that the proper way to be breastfeeding twins? I mean, it doesn’t look like their middle body is supported, just their heads unless you count squishing them under the statues armpits!

I think its kinda creepy looking….I expected the piece to be a little more softer. Not that that is his style but there is something unerving about this piece of “art.”

That’s not the most flattering sculpture. Her skin generally looks smooth except on her face; he really accented the wrinkles, didn’t he?
