Baby Poop -- Michael
That right there is a cast of the first solid poop produced by the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Tom has already made an asshole out of himself by obessing about this kid, buying his own sonogram machine, etc. I'm thinking Tom and Katie have enough PR problems without this.
NEW YORK (AFP) - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show their baby daughter off in public, but eager fans were given an unusual preview with the chance to see a bronze cast depicting her first solid stool.
The scatological sculpture -- more doodoo than Dada -- is purportedly cast from 19-week old Suri's first bowel movement and will be shown at the Capla Kesting gallery in Brooklyn, New York, before being auctioned off for charity.
The artist behind the work, Daniel Edwards, previously courted controversy with a life-size nude sculpture of pop star Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug. That work was shown at the same gallery in April.
"A bronzed cast of baby's first poop can be a meaningful memento for the family," gallery director David Kesting said, adding that he hoped the work would attract bids of up to 25 or 30,000 dollars.
Are they frickin' nuts? They're actually trying to sell this thing?
Oh wait. It's for a good cause.
The sculpture, which sits on a wooden mounting with a glass casing, is to be sold on eBay next month with proceeds from the sale going to infant health charity March Of Dimes.
Aw, that's kinda sweet. It's not some weird ego thing. Tom and Katie are willing to look like total fucktards, selling off a bronze cast of their baby's poop, all for the cause of raising a whole buncha money for the March of Dimes.
As of Wednesday it had attracted a top bid of 41 dollars.
