This one is an old family favorite of mine, but still, a little creepy.
I also drove to Alabama one summer specifically to see it, AND IT WAS GONE.

Christ of the Ozarks. Crazy out of proportion. Built by an anti-Semite. Everytime someone talks about it, they have to point out how you could hang an Volkswagon from each arm, and the arms wouldn't break off.
It's always a Volkswagon they mention, too.

I don't think it can compete with the Tillman statue for ugliness, but it's weird and creepy (yes, that's a polish soldier with his hands tied behind his back and a bayonet going all the way through his torso)

These little blob-people are scattered outside the Minneapolis Federal Courthouse, though I'm not sure they're so much "ugly" as they are bizarrely out of place. Not pictured: the arch that seems to be comprised partially of these little "Mr. Men" critters and/or boulders. It's supposed to be a sociological statement or something. Apparently the sculptor does a ton of this stuff.

This one is in the narrow concrete of york university, the building is a perfect example of the stalinist block school of modernism, and the courtyards are filled with either concrete pads, or grey shale...here is a quebecois artist attempt at fitting in--its minimalism makes a bleak place even bleaker:

i am however a big fan of those silly lil dudes to be found @ the minneapolis federal courthouse and the nyc subway. there's also some @ the metrotech center in downtown brooklyn and, most delightfully, popping out the hudson on the upper west side.

Neilsen family status in from of King 5 studios off Dexter Ave. in Seattle... a block or so away from KEXP.

From an IRS building in New Carrollton, Maryland. I guess it's not uglier than the Tillman statue, but it gives me the creeps. Plus, according to the blog I found the picture on, it is some kind of masonic symbolism.
