"It" Art?

Paris Hilton Autopsy
Speaking of the Hiltons…Nope, she’s not really dead but Daniel Edwards, the guy who created that ungodly sculpture of Brit Brit with a bun coming out of the oven (Eeeeew! Still gross), has sculpted a deceased, spread eagle Miss Hilton still in her tiara with poor little Tinkerbell trying to wake her mommy. The sculpture, meant to show the socialite after a drunk-driving car crash, will be unveiled a week today in NYC in an attempt to teach teens about the dangers of underage drinking. And bonus! It’s interactive. New Yorkers can actually remove Paris’ entrails, living out all their CSI dreams. And students are invited to submit a 300-word obituary based on the sculpture before May 13. Winners will be announced May 21. Visit www.parishiltonautopsy.com for more info.

“It” Debate
Does Paris’ faux corpse actually make you think twice about drinking? Was drinking and driving ever an option for you?
