Kevin's example was valid, but a bit inaccurate. You Howard are using the word 'there' in the sense of location, and Kevin is using the word 'they're' in the sense of a current action. I'm sure that you both mean 'their'. 'Their' is the third person (that's you guys) plural form of the word 'they', and it is used in a possessive context.

I don't mean to insult any of you, but I'd just like to see the correct terms being used from now on. I believe you're fully capable of doing so. :)

I'm a huge supporter of breastfeeding in public, this statue is just awful, and it *hurts* the cause, not helps.

The whole problem facing breastfeeding mothers is the ridiculous level to which breasts have been sexualized. This is something which is very, very hard to overcome in our split-personality prude/pervert society, and a statue of a naked woman breastfeeding is the *last* thing we need to help overcome.

The message should be that breastfeeding isn't sexual - it's survival. Nude Angelina Jolie doesn't provide that message. Not even close.

the statue does not even come close to looking like Angelina. its just a statue, like Venus or David, the people who created it gave it a name and it is Angelina Jolie. its a beautiful statue.

CGW--I would have to agree with you there--While I am a big "Angie" fan, and agree with humanitarian efforts that she does, this "piece of art work" looks nothing like her. Its almost a very sad, sorry, excuse for promoting what shuld be a very natural effort between mother and child--and yet, only here in America, do we have to "Celeb it up" and promote breast feeding with a famous public persona--Very sad state of who we are here, and how our soicety thinks and functions!!!

Your sure right. Non of them look like who it supposed to be.

You're right. As a sculptor I am often amazed at what poor work is somehow approved by the patrons who sponsor them. Artist reputations blind too many critics...sugar daddy buys a couple of sculptural tributes to get an artist started and all of a sudden everyone(except others in the art community)ignors their lack of similarity to the subject. Same thing just happened in Louisville. Frustrating and of ill affect to the art world.

Statue of Jolie? I don't think so. No one would have guessed it was Angelina without your headlines. It will never make the "Louve."

To Daniels: You suck like those babies.
To the writer: Please proofread (see mistaken use of word "photo" in first instance instead of "statue" in the second-to-last paragraph).

If this falls under the rights granted by the first amendment then we are all wrong on the implied intent. And, as we all know, art is in the eye of the beholder. I do not understand how a nude statue promotes the cause of accepting public breast-feeding. You want the comments classy yet we are being inundated with a less than classy world these days.

I agree, looks nothing like her, and does nothing positive for the beautiful experience of breastfeeding. How about a little eye contact with your child? Two at once held like loaves of bread? Oh yeah, that works.

NO WAY, THIS NEEDS TO BE IN JUNK, OR IN A X-RATED
MUSEUM, OUT OF THE US!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right CGW, it doesn't remotely resemble Angelina Jolie, but the face is rather unattractive, like a death mask. I breastfed both my children and I think it's a beautiful, sensitive, and nurturing experience. This sculpture doesn't do justice to the whole breastfeeding process. In fact, it looks like she's holding two footballs, not twins.

Exactly right. How would anybody know who that is supposed to be, if it weren't identified?

I agree, looks nothing like her.

I, for one, am a huge supporter of breasts, feeding, and feeding off of Angelina's breasts. This deserves a standing ovation.

Breastfeading is a natural way to feed an infant, the law enforcement officer (pig) needs to grow up. If he is offended by this than let us ticket him for eating his bagal.

I agree looks nothing like angelenia

I really don't comment on what is shown here. But,
Joli is a beautiful woman, what you shown here with
the statue is totally garbage. It's looks awful and I find it distasteful.

I don't mind ladies brestfeeding in public. To me, it's natural and beautiful. However, this statue depicts an unnatural and rigid pose and expresses none of the beauty and loving gentleness of a mother breastfeeding her baby. I think it's ugly.
