HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Yale University art student's claim that she induced repeated abortions on herself and used the blood for her senior project is false, school officials said after her account was published in the student newspaper.
Aliza Shvarts described the project in a story Thursday in the Yale Daily News. She said she artificially inseminated herself "as often as possible" while taking herbal drugs to induce miscarriages, the story said.
The account swept across blogs and media outlets before Yale issued a statement saying it investigated and found it all to be a hoax that was Shvarts' idea of elaborate "performance art."

I have another "work of art" that comes very close to topping this one. I am going to post it in white so you have to highlight it to read it. Believe me when I say it is incredibly disgusting, graphic, nasty, gross, awful, and nauseating!
Back in 2000, Jonathan Yegge (above) was a student at the San Francisco Art Institute who did a public performance art piece that got the whole school, the local community and the entire worldwide internet talking.
Let's revisit his little "performance piece," shall we?
Yegge asked for a volunteer from his art class, got one, and then had voluntarily sign a makeshift contract stating that the volunteer was agreeing to participate in a performance piece containing acts "including and up to a sexual or violent nature."
Yegge led the volunteer out into a campus public area and then, let him explain in his words what he did.
"He was tied up. He had a blindfold and a gag, but he could see and talk through it. He had freedom of movement of his pelvis. I engaged in oral sex with him and he engaged in oral sex with me. I had given him an enema, and I had taken a shit and stuffed it in his ass. That goes on, he shits all over me, I shit in him. There was a security guard present. There was an instructor from the school present. It was videoed, and the piece was over."

See, WE called BS yesterday. I knew it!!!! Ugh. She's mentally ill at best. I wonder if the Yale Alumni had something to do with her getting called out?
I don't know what that stuff is in your links. Not gonna click it! Judging from what the link says (the word enema) I'll pass.

Oh my.
That sounds like something Fat Che would be into.
And some other primitives, too.

This story made me angry when I heard about it. Now that I find out it's a hoax, it just makes me sad.
Did anyone see the pictures of this girl giving a "peformance"? Dressed like Fran Drescher on a bad day and looks like Ugly Betty. Feh..

Yale Student Insists Abortion Art Project Is Real, Despite University's Claims of 'Creative Fiction'
... snip ...
In a guest column that ran in Friday's Yale Daily News — which first reported her claims in Thursday's edition — senior art major Aliza Shvarts maintained that she had conducted artificial inseminations and carried out what she characterized as self-induced miscarriage procedures, though she never actually knew whether she was pregnant.
"For the past year, I performed repeated self-induced miscarriages," Shvarts wrote in Friday's column. "Using a needleless syringe, I would inject the sperm near my cervix within 30 minutes of its collection, so as to insure the possibility of fertilization.
"On the 28th day of my cycle, I would ingest an abortifacient, after which I would experience cramps and heavy bleeding. ... Because the miscarriages coincide with the expected date of menstruation (the 28th day of my cycle), it remains ambiguous whether the there (sic) was ever a fertilized ovum or not.
...snip ...
"She said if Yale puts out a statement saying she did not do this, she would say Yale was doing that to protect its reputation," Klasky told The Associated Press.
The public affairs official also wrote an e-mail to the Yale Daily News late Thursday night saying that Shvarts "denial is part of her performance. We are disappointed that she would deliberately lie to the press in the name of art.â€
Shvarts shot back at the school, claiming her project was “university sanctioned,†according to the paper.
“I’m not going to absolve them by saying it was some sort of hoax when it wasn’t,†she told the Daily News. “I started out with the university on board with what I was doing, and because of the media frenzy they’ve been trying to dissociate with me. Ultimately I want to get back to a point where they renew their support.â€
Shvarts said her project had the backing of Yale's Davenport College Dean Craig Harwood, as well as at least two faculty members within the School of Art.

Looks like Yale has some other problems as well. :-)
Want Your Opinions Questioned or Reversed? Hire a Yale Clerk (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1116343)
This paper analyzes the relationship between the law schools attended by non-permanent judicial clerks and the frequencies of two adverse signals assigned by Shepard's to their judges' opinions: either a negative (warning) signal (roughly equivalent to reversal) or a signal indicating the opinion's validity has been questioned. Using a sample of 12,966 opinions written by 95 federal district court judges, the portion of a judge's non-permanent clerks from Yale Law School is found to be positively related to the likelihood the opinion will have a negative (warning) or questioned signal, which is statistically significant at the 1% level. There is a negative relationship between the average reputation of the law schools a judge's clerks attended (better reputations being numerically higher) and the likelihood of his or her opinion having a negative or questioned signal, although that relationship is statistically significant in only some contexts.

Celine Dion to Release "My Heart Will Go On" Blood & Feces Smeared Edition
Canadian Pop Diva Celine Dion announced plans today to re-record her blockbuster single My Heart Will Go On as a new Blood & Feces-Smeared Edition.
Over the next several months, Dion plans to become impregnated by several homeless drug addicts. She will then strap several cats to her naked body and throw herself down a flight of stairs. Her wails of agony as she miscarries will be recorded and put to music.
To differentiate the single from any of her other recordings, Dion will smear the CD cover with her own blood and feces.
Dion insists that her intention isn't to shock or offend, but I can already hear the right-wing anti-choice Jesus freaks huffing and puffing and calling for boycotts.
Conservatives have absolutely no appreciation for fine art.
