We haven't seen the child's face, but we'll see its shit really soon

This is so bogus that it can only have to do with Crazy Cruise and the Alien Baby. Some artist decided to bronze the first dump of the child and put it in a fuckin' museum. How do you like them apples?

Bronzed baby shoes are out, and bronzed baby poop is in, for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as they celebrate baby’s "first poop." The commemoration of baby Suri Cruise’s first poop strives to be the evidence of her existence for a public yet to see photos of the superstar couple’s four month old infant. Suri Cruise’s commissioned bronzed baby poop goes on display August 30th at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg gallery district and will be offered on eBay with the proceeds to benefit the March Of Dimes.

Suri’s bronzed poop is purportedly cast from the excretion of her first solid meal. “Babies mostly breastfeed for the first four months, so a baby’s first meal of solid food may be a baby’s first meal at the dinner table,” said David Kesting, director of Capla Kesting Fine Art. “A bronzed cast of baby’s first poop can be a meaningful memento for the family.” Suri’s bronzed baby poop will be exhibited under a display case until the ebay auction ends, explains Kesting, but he admits they’ve commissioned artist Daniel Edwards to produce a limited edition plaster replica.

Casting of the baby poop with a bronze finish and mounted on a base that includes a brass plate engraved with baby Suri’s name, comes at a time when Tom Cruise is increasingly known for his eccentricity. Capla Kesting assures the trend for bronzing baby poop isn’t so eccentric and simply follows the popularity of the critically acclaimed children’s book, “Everybody Poops”.

The gallery says it supports Tom Cruise’s and Katie Holmes’s decision to withhold images of baby Suri from the public, though gossip magazines speculate the reason may be that Suri may be deformed. The gallery asserts its bronzed baby poop reinforces claims, made after celebrity sightings of Suri, that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a healthy baby.

Reception for Suri ’s bronzed baby poop and presentation of the proceeds raised by Capla Kesting Fine Art for March Of Dimes will be held September 8th from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at 121 Roebling St., Brooklyn NY 11211. The gallery can be reached at www.caplakesting.com or by phone at 917-650-3760. [Capla Kesting Gallery]

OK, this is funny, but I have news for y'all, a baby's poop doesn't become that solid until they're on table foods. I'm talking bread, meat, cheese... NOT baby food.

Sure, on planet CRAZY!! Why stop at poop though? I'm sure there's been gallons of alien baby barf that they could also use in this new bronzing of bodily waste craze. I'd be lying if I said this didn't scare me jus a lil' bit....

"...but he admits they’ve commissioned artist Daniel Edwards to produce a limited edition plaster replica." Man, I'm gonna have to get a second job so I can save up to buy that shit (no pun intended...okay, maybe a lil' pun intended).

Right, Nicole...a baby's poop should not be larger in length or girth than its appendages.

maybe the lunch crew can take up a collection and we can buy it -- keep it here at work for everyone to admire...

Does the word memento mean anything in this article? If it were really hers, don't you think if they paid to have it bronzed, they'd keep it?

By the way, you two looked dazzling at the Emmy's!

By the way, I noticed the article mentioned babies being breast-fed for the first several months... isn't this another contradiction? Scientologists feed babies that homemade "formula" don't they?

Nicole said...

thanks... we rocked the red carpet. ;)

right, em. so true. scientologists don't believe in breast feeding because the mother might pass along alien antibodies through her milk. since the body is just a host for xenu's minions. until the scientologist has reached the highest level, the human body is 'unclean'.

sickos.
