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:

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.

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

I think this is meant to be one of those cement blocks to prevent cars from wanting to ramrod the studio entrance.

This long shot is kind of incredible until you remember that it's a statue and not a drawing.

An electric mechanism driven by a couple of microproccesors swivels the upper part of the body, while the penis goes up and down. The stream of water writes quotes from famous Prague residents.
