Oprah's Fat Days Immortalized In Bronze

The Daily mail reports,

She has famously battled with her weight - but according to this tribute to the queen of daytime television, it appears to be a battle lost.

Controversial American sculptor Daniel Edwards latest work 'The Oprah Sarcophagus', is a very full-figured sculpture of Oprah Winfrey - and that's where the likeness begins and ends.

The work casts Miss Winfrey in bronze, as a nude, full-breasted woman with generous child-bearing hips.

Edwards' previous controversial sculptures include Paris Hilton's autopsy, Britney Spears' birthing, and Suri Cruise's first poop.

Ahh Golden Juggs. You go Oprah!! I like Oprah because she says what she wants and she is backing Obama....God I hope he is our next president. Although we need to get the young people to vote...So go out and vote or shut your trap and don't complain

I think it's really beautiful. He's turned Oprah into a Venus of Willendorf, and is making the point that-for good or ill-Winfrey is a modern day Goddess to many.

Oprah's obesity memorialized for all to see. Ugh!

[mediamarv]

I didn't really need to see that.

i'm with you centerleftlawyer, boo. Although i didn't see his other "works", judging by the names this i guess is one of his less controversial one. Sure puts those sculptures to shame with all the muscles and fingers like a real body. But that would take study and work.

i think it's mad cool.

it should revolve on top of the Harpo building with a light coming out of its head like the eiffel tower.

That's Oprah?

For a minute, I thought it was supposed to be Al Gore.

Art? You bet, at least I can tell what it is. I'm still going with Giotto.

Quick! Hire bodyguards, Mr Edwards! The Queen of World Domination is not amused.

This is an incredibly beautiful work of art, evocative of the ancient fertility goddess images which embodied the divine principal of motherhood, the source and sustenance of all life.

An incredible homage to an incredible human being.

Man that's a lot of bronze.

Looks just like Oprah.

She gained weight lately. It suits her better.
Cause she has big bones.

It's beautiful! The curves make the woman and i couldn't imagine it being appealing Oprah were presented to be a skinny bitch.

Being a skinny bitch myself, the few curves that i have i'm highly protective of.

Lovely.
