And Then She Fashioned Jesus Out of a Jujube and Fed It to a Pit Bull Wearing a George Bush Mask… (UPDATE: Hoaxalicious!)

When I read this story, my first response was a serious sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. It’s tough to imagine a more vile expression of artistic freedom than to force yourself into nine month’s worth of miscarriages then use the proceeds of those failed pregnancies to get an “A” in art class. The more I read it, though, the more I’m siding with Allah. This looks like a put-up job. Says Allah:

…it can’t be real. It’s too broadly parodic of too many things: the trivialization of abortion, modern art’s fascination with effluvium, amoral academic culture justified as a form of faux-profound “consciousness-raising,” etc etc etc. All that’s missing is some sort of representation of Christ as a gay Nazi.

He’s right. She hit almost every single hot button a young, dumb leftist could hit. I suppose she could have had Gay Nazi Jesus fellating George Bush while he soaked the both of them in stolen Iraqi oil to complete the tableau but that would have been pushing it a bit, don’t you think?

What really got my Bloggy Sense a’tingling is this part of the article.

She said she was not concerned about any medical effects the forced miscarriages may have had on her body. The abortifacient drugs she took were legal and herbal, she said, and she did not feel the need to consult a doctor about her repeated miscarriages…

That bugged me because herbal abortifacients are simply not particularly reliable. they’re also very dangerous if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing with them. This student does not seem to be a fount of intelligence, so I’m fairly sure she’s not knowledgeable enough to take the necessary herbs in a way that wouldn’t have killed her or made her seriously ill at least one out of those nine times. According to these folks, herbal abortifacients have at best a 30 percent success rate at causing a miscarrriage. I have a very tough time believing that she was successful that many times without doing herself some serious injury. And I don’t at all believe that she could do the necessary research into herbal abortifacients without having at least some concern for the effect they’d have on her, considering that they all work by poisoning you just enough to kill a growing baby but not enough to kill you.

I’ll stay skeptical about this story. It looks to me like this student has pulled a pretty good scam on her professor. We’ll see if she gets an “A” for her effort.

UPDATE: It’s a hoax. The intention of the project was to do…some…awareness…thingie…

Darned if I can figure out from the school’s statement what the project was supposed to do. I suppose it’s the sort of thing you have to be a generally empty-headed liberal arts major at a heavily left-leaning school to decipher. Here. You figure it out.

The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.

Yeah…whatever the heck that is. That’s what she did. Ambiguity and such.
