String of Babies, holds a baby bottle upright

American sculptor Daniel Edwards, best known for his often controversial depictions of celebrities and other figures from popular culture, has produced a sculpture inspired by Nadya Suleman, aka “OctoMom”, the California woman who recently gave birth to octuplets. The sculpture is entitled “String of Babies, holds a baby bottle upright” and depicts Ms. Suleman as a disembodied cephalopod, beatifically embracing her brood with her hot pink tentacles.

I can’t look away. It’s like a maquette for  some bizarro alternate Watchmen ending.

Humans don’t have litters.

Perhaps not. But we do litter. And start forest fires. Which only you can prevent. Yes you, Alphonse. Only you.

And frankly, the rest of us are a little disappointed in the job you’ve been doing.
