A sculpture of a nude Paris Hilton has been put on display as part of a "Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth". The sculpture depicts a dead Paris
Hilton. Her belly ripped open and visitors are encouraged to touch her internal organs.
E! News: A Paris Sculpture to Die For
New York artist Daniel Edwards, previously responsible for last year's sculpture of a very pregnant Britney Spears down on all fours, recently
polished off a piece entitled Paris Hilton Autopsy, which will be the centerpiece of "Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth," a public service
announcement about the perils of drunk driving.
The life-sized sculpture depicts a supposedly dead Hilton, in the nude except for a jeweled tiara perched on her head, with Tinkerbell (in matching
tiara) lying across the heiress' shoulder. A cell phone is clutched in Hilton's hand.
To help ram the message home, the Hilton sculpture has an open abdominal cavity and its innards are removable, as if the Simple Life star were really
being splayed out for an autopsy. All of the internal organs have been rendered to scale and visitors to the exhibition will be encouraged to don a
pair of gloves and pick through the plaster-and-clay remains.

I can't see how this sculpture can prevent or disencourage young women from driving under influence. Weird stuff...
