Oh those Williamsburg hipsters, what will they come up with next. The same "artist" who brought the world the laboring, gaping-vagina'd Britney Spears back in 2006 has unveiled his latest commentary on popular culture---the Paris Hilton autopsy sculpture, which is being reported as some kind of "education tool" to scare kids away from drinking and driving on prom night, but seems more like a hoax designed to garner publicity for the artist. The life-size Hilton sculpture includes her pampered puppy Tinkerbell (also wearing a tiara), gripping on to her cell phone, with removable innards in her opened abdominal cavity. The rigor-mortised heiress sculpture can be seen in the hipster-mecca of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at the Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery. The gallery is advertising the sculpture as part of a "Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth." The 'unglamorous' display also includes support material from anti-drunk driving organizations that is supposed to counter "the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood's 'girls gone wild'," according to gallery director, David Kesting. Advocating teenagers to experience the Hilton display "hands-on," Kesting notes, "Paris' internals, which include her small intestines, and other elements, are removable to assist teens with an empathetic view of drunk driving tragedy from the coroner's perspective."
