But is it art?

Paris Hilton has been the subject of much news lately, but she's also been the subject of art ... as a "prom queen of the dead" which sculptor Daniel Edwards says is a warning against driving while drunk. In his sculpture, the heiress is shown naked, dead, cell phone in hand, tiara on head, and legs asunder, or what that be akimbo, or possibly even apart. Other works by the same artist include a giant head of Cuban President Fidel Castro, and a life-size nude of Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug. (Thanks to the annals of Reuters, Oddly Enough, for this tidbit.)
