Inspiring

[Rohan Kohli]

From MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1526637/20060320/shakira.jhtml?headlines=true): Shakira said she hopes a 16-foot steel statue of her likeness, set to be erected in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, will help inspire citizens to follow their dreams. Designed by German sculptor Dieter Patt, the statue — which comes complete with bell-bottom pants and a guitar strapped to its neck — weighs five tons and took more than a year to complete, according to The Associated Press.

[Save my day]

Every hour on the hour.

[Kyner]

hahaha soooo many kids are going to beat off to this statue

[Blake Solomon]

Thats true, when I see her dance, Im not sure if im supposed to be turned on or if im watching a horror movie. She is so violent and so sensual, kind of like a black widow. My head becomes so confused when Shakira is let loose to shake every bone in her body.

[yutsmcgee]

i think they should just remove her upper body and legs, and erect a 16-ft. statue of her abs and ass. that's all i need.

[Jason Tate]

dirty

shakira doesn't do anything for me.

They thought they were cutting the umbilical cord and got your penis didn't they? That's the only explanation.

Me either but there is still hope that one day..

and a guitar strapped to its neck

...because we all know how well Shakira handles a guitar.

i wasnt even aware she ever played one..?

Shakira sucks at singing and song-writing [if she even does that]. People are supposed to be inspired to be slutty on stage? Right okay, let's build a Mariah Carey statue while we're at it. She's attractive when she doesn't open her mouth or do that horrible thing she calls dancing.

Mariah Carey is a great singer. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. She has big knockers too. That's always a plus.

I was being sarcastic.

[AdamTheBomb21]

She can play a solo on my guitar....

"Follow your dreams, shake your ass and be a whore, it will make you all rich."

[sodastereo_nc]

Haters, try learning a whole new language... try conquering other countries with your music. try crossover.
that's what I thought.

[raycer]

pft. shakira has been around ages (over a decade) making cds and touring... a bunch of bands that do that for a couple of years get all the recognition in the world here but when its a 'pop star' its different? hah

[Frequency]

That's pretty conceited of her. She thinks she deserves her own statue? I mean its not like she fought poverty or something.

[lou<>phillips]

She's like Saddam Hussein.

Guy kicking babies. Its a thing of beauty.

We should put up a statue of Justin Timberlake for inspiration, I'm just as proud of his accomplishments as Shakira's

Yeah dude, you're kinda wrong.

If you listen to her stuff (mostly her old Spanish 90's stuff), you'll see her lyrics are good (it helps knowing Spanish, but her lyrics are clever). She wasn't slutty before either. She actually does play guitar and writes her own lyrics.

I personally am not a Shakira fan, but this statement was very ignorant.

[thebanneryear]

shakira doesn't do anything for me.

That's because you have no DICK.

[goddamngourd]

She's like Saddam Hussein.

the CIA installed her to prevent the spread of fundamentalist islam and she used her new found power to commit acts of genocide against minority populations.

[snowtires]

Mariah Carey is a great singer. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. She has big knockers too. That's always a plus.

mariah carey has big knockers because she's a fucking cow. that bitch gained like 60 lbs in the past three months.

[finchalicious]

I'm Colombian ... and I still think this statue business is stupid.

[juan_believes]

Fact of the day: Her first album came out in 1991, she was 14.

[johnnybb]

That's pretty conceited of her. She thinks she deserves her own statue? I mean its not like she fought poverty or something.

Since when does she think she deserves her own statue? That statue is being made by that german guy, not her. And i dont think someone who spends most of her time trying to raise money for columbian poverty will want to spend her money on a 16 ft statue of herself. Nonetheless even think about having one made.

but yeah, shakira's hot. fuck everything else.

[kanyerex]

re-god-damn-diculous.

[domesticyeti]

I don't see any RATM statues.



That's what I thought.

i would definetly help pay for and built a statue of zach to put up on the mall in DC

Columbian poverty? Like Columbia, the movie studio? Columbia the university? Columbia, South Carolina? Because you can't be talking about Colombian poverty.

[NationalProduct]

if she makes the statue naked she will deff inspire a few erections

[robsmith]

It's a common mistake. It's like how British ColUmbia in french is ColOmbie Britanique. I guess writing the Republic of Colombia is an exception.

what he said. bellydancing = hot, whatever you say :)

[jake_rm]

Having a statue made of yourself is about as self indulgent as wanking in a mirror.
