Uglier Than the Pat Tillman Statue

ya totally, that picture is exhibit A as to why that stern expression was totally OTM and an eerily prescient call on the part of the sculptor

especially when we get the tourist snap of the girl with the thong hanging out the back of her jeans.
I look forward to many MLK stern appraisals

Hmm, I see them on my end. These guys:

^^^^pretty sure Laurie Moore used to work at this theme park, as Snow White or something.

oops xpost

huh. i don't think i've ever paid those any attention

xp

fun fact: those grassy berms are not just creative landscaping, they're designed to keep cars from driving through the front door.

Foiled by landscaping!

also i believe the whole plaza has an empty chamber underneath it, and it's designed to crack under the weight of a truck. built after OKC, obv. but i don't remember where i heard this.

The Great Escape also had this weird racially questionable african man in a "jungle" area that was a robot and it used to say "welcome to my jungle" from behind the bushes

haha, isnt that the dude that starved a dog to death for an art show?

Otterness that is

I know there's an Axl joke in there somewhere but I can't be bothered

that enough mammary mounds for ya?

xp he shot a dog for a film, apparently

did the dog die?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Otterness#Controversy

First I've heard of that. The Rockman statues are just whimsically silly, and not to my liking, but that dog story is reprehensible. Guess what, I don't forgive you.

If he shot a chicken no one would care

pretty much

no one cared what happened to the chicken in Pink Flamnigoes

In his book Shock Value Waters claims they ate the chicken afterwards, and wonders why anyone who eats meat would have an issue with that scene. Sorta agree, although I have a hard time with that scene.

that scene showed me just how deep the darkness can go

sorry but birds are fucking asshole dinosaurs. we owe them nothing. dogs have been our friends for eons, we owe them.

we owe them kibble. that is their payment for services.

I wish all those John Waters moveis were edited, censored, beucase the parts I like most are the dialogue, costumes, story etc - I want neuter versions

ya i could skip the rape-by-chicken stuff and still have a good, dirty time. the poop eating can stay tho. kinda mezmerizing @o@

When the Uglier Than the Pat Tillman Statue thread gets ugly.

Pat Tillman probably never saw a John Waters movie

And Waters hates sports, so I'm sure he never saw Tillman.

xp

okay what the shit is that

it's a running clock of course.

glasgow buchanan st bus station.

to back up for a sec, that harry carey statue is horrible

literally would like to punch that clock

local news to amuse

i hope the terrorists take this horrible thing out of my life forever:

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder - in this case someone who likes parts taht are left over after you cut something out of leather

it looks like an abstract bird flip

i made the mistake of renting A Dirty Shame from Blockbuster and it had definitely beed edited.

I own that - I have not seen the non-neuter version

i think its supposed to be an abstracted antelope on a boat (im not kidding, im pretty sure thats the real story). its an african thing, but it's still barf-a-licious. what really kills me are the fucking black marble caskets radiating around it.
