The Met Museum Tweets Its Own 'Break The Internet' Picture

This week Kim Kardashian's photo spread in Paper Magazin threatened to "Break the internet." However, the photo spread did not succeed in its threat, but it has it has created a commentary on the photos and the star's very exposed body.

One contribution was made by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and has since been re-Tweeted over 3,000 times: The museum called out Kim's undoubtedly digitally enhanced asset, Tweeting a picture from behind of a Neolithic female figure sculpted in the tradition of steatopygous.

There is indeed an uncanny resemblance between the behinds of the two subjects. On the Met's site the description of the roughly 6,000-year-old ceramic figure certainly matches Kim's build- "a fleshy abdomen and massive thighs and buttocks, all undoubtedly indicative of nourishment and fertility." Curiously it can found in American painting curator Barbara Weinberg's "perfection" category.

Art Critic Jerry Saltz also played into the joke and broadcasted an image of the sculpture. Saltz also questioned weather or not Kim's body had been photo-shopped, disputing photographer Jean Paul Gode's claims that he did not use Photoshop on Kim's body at all.
