This breasts sculpture by Chinese artist Shu Yong was paraded around (by a red ox?) as an attempt to encourage women to avoid plastic surgery and embrace their natural curves. From the looks of it, this just might have the opposite effect.

At $100 a piece, make sure you get this gift for someone special.
