Oh I just realized it's the same dude who does those 3D versions of famous paintings, which are kind of awful and awesome at the same time

Brian Terry continues to be honored after his murder while protecting the United States border.

A statue was erected in his honor at the Brian A. Terry Border Patrol Base on Bisbee, Arizona last week.

The statue depicts Terry carrying a fellow soldier on his shoulders and is based off a photo that family members called “iconic” in nature.

This thread's reminded me of this statue, which I guess isnt that ugly per se, but every time we drive past it, my bf mutters darkly (in the voice of the statue) "I'm gunna fuckin kill you and everyone you care about!"

Admittedly it's more who it's commemorating that's the problem here...

I saw Tony Abbott on the beach once, coming in from a surf - he has that stupid duck waddle walk even when there are no cameras around.

Terry Wogan statue looks a bit disconcertingly like Nick Cave

They used to sit in front of the U.S. Capitol until they were removed finally in 1958.

And when I say "in front of the U.S. Capitol," I do not mean in some obscure clearing behind a tree on the lawn or somewhere. I mean
