WTF: Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber Nude Statue on Display at Dallas Porn Shop

Now this is just plain weird: a Dallas porn shop will be putting a life-size statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez on display. What, that's not weird enough for you? How about the fact that the two singers are nude and melded together?

The statue is a piece by artist Daniel Edwards, who hopes to make a statement about the exploitation of young celebrities and pop stars. "I tried to find my entry into making a comment on that very thing that happens time and again to teenage celebrities, where they’re kind of exploited early, earlier than what is legal, and the media fuels that as best they can," Edwards told MTV.

It's a sight to see: the statue is a life-size bronze likeness of the two singers, nude and conjoined. Their genitals are covered with a maple leaf and a Texas star (I'm sure you can guess which one has which), and a Canadian goose and an armadillo are at their feet, presumably more references to their birthplaces.

Edwards apparently has plans for a companion piece that would depict Bieber's...er, "junk" in a cartoony sort of way.

It is worth noting that, while Bieber and Gomez did get an early start on their careers, Bieber is now 17 and Gomez 19. The artist references "beach photos" of the two pop stars canoodling as being inappropriate.

The statue will be on display at New Fine Arts, which sounds like a gallery but is actually a porn shop in Dallas.

What do you think of the statue? Is it truly a piece of art, making a statement about our obsession with celebrity? Or is it just another artist's plea for attention by causing a stir?
