(You know, the celeb-loving guy who created that <a href="http://www.bernergazette.ch/archives/britney-statue-back.jpg">Britney-gives-birth sculpture</a>?) Anyway, Edwards says his "<a href="http://www.bossip.com/11404/the-oprah-sarcophagus/">piece pays homage to the closest thing America has to a living deity</a>," hence its resemblance to the coffin of Egypt's Tutankhamun (King Tut!)</p>

<p>Or maybe not. <a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23434889-details/TV+chat+queen+Oprah+gets+a+less+than+flattering+tubby+bronze+statue+cast+in+her+honour/article.do">According to a thisislondon commenter</a>:</p>

<blockquote>She's in the guise of fertility goddesses. It's about celebrating her feminity [sic] and also Africanness by associating her with this kind of image. If you are going to poke fun at anything, make a big deal about the puritanical attitudes that insist that she's wearing what can only be described as a bikini top, which kind of negates the earth mother thing and looks completely stupid.</blockquote>

<p>Huh? There's nothing puritanical about a bikini top. Those wacky Brits. Anyway, were enjoying this ever much. So shiny. </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
