Why is this happening and what can I do to make it stop?

I’ve witnessed a lot of vom-worthy nonsense in my day, but this nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is a new level of gross. Like, Human-Centipede-meets-Octomom gross. Infamous sculptor Daniel Edwards just announced his latest creation: a bronze statue depicting Justin and Selena completely nude, with but a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star covering the couple’s naughty bits. I can’t even believe I just typed that.

I should note that Daniel is the same sculptor who made headlines with his statues of Britney Spears giving birth, Hillary Clinton topless, and Suri Cruise‘s poop — to name just a few delightful treasures.

And while the aformentioned three statues are all the stuff of nightmares in their own right, I think it’s safe to say a new line has been crossed with this Justin/Selena abomination. Besides the fact that one half of the couple is under the age of 18 — someone get Chris Hansen on the line – it just seems really really unnecessary.

Who asked for this? Who wants to see this? And, more importantly, who would actually be willing to buy this?
