I'm pretty sure this is where one of the hardest boss fights takes place in FFVII.

Despite the benefit of the doubt being given to the sentiment behind this act, the decorations were removed by the Secretary of State's office shortly after being discovered.

This is a baffling statue out the front of St Kilda Town Hall, about 5 mins walk down the road from my place.
Maybe there is some legend story behind it, but I'm not feelin it. WTF is the PLANE there for? If I didn't know any better I'd say the snakes were a metaphor for local council getting into everyone's business and choking it up, ahaha.

ARTHUR ASHE HAS JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH YOU KIDS!

I live in Morristown with that seeing eye dog statue. I'm bummed it's so ugly. Morristown is the home of the Seeing Eye, the first training school of its kind. Walking around here, you always see dogs either being trained by the staff or being tried out by potential masters. It's great. They were trying to honor the founder with that statue, and turned out something kind of creepy.

I actually like a bunch of these statues in this thread -- a LOT. but many of them are damn ugly and aren't immune to satire.

I'm trying to find the truly awful matruskasian things in that Whole Foods/Tutta Bella corner on Denny and Westlake, but I guess people knew to not take pictures of them and put them online.

For those of you who hate MLK Day, don't forget this repost:
http://vcnv.org/images/02mlk.jpg
I've read up on this, and it's meant to depict Dr. King when he was a young preacher. It's still very "um" to me.
If I remember correctly, it's located on the grounds of the Illinois State Capitol.

It's true, all the other statues on the capital grounds are stately, dignified, well-rendered, but here comes MLK looking like absolute shit (it's "abstract") and whistling Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. Way to go, guys.
