Uglier Than the Pat Tillman Statue

nothing can compete with the last entry, but the new Mick Jagger statue in Dartford is a look from certain angles

I would've guessed anyone from Steve Winwood to Terry Fox to the guy who was in The Warriors before assuming it was Mick.

ah dangit, just came to post that

New fountain in Vienna, apparently

This may have been in the broken links above, and I do appreciate the spirit of this thing, but it's just butt ugly.

Another surprising omission. I am both fascinated and repelled by this.

Oh I always kind of liked the Blue Mustang. It's definitely right on the borderline for me though.

The locals call it "Blucifer."

the more i think abt this lab mice memorial the less gruntled i get

it is inappropriately cute and has the nerve to be ugly at the same time

we have gained so much of immeasurable value, saved & improved so many human lives, at the cost of terrible acts on creatures that are utterly at our mercy -- creatures that we bred, we brought into existence, for this purpose! to suffer for us, so our dumb asses might suffer less. they deserve a way more fucked up statue imo

(not that i'm finna fight about whether medical research on animals, and animal exploitation generally, is sufficiently justified by its benefits to humanity; just that it's insulting all around to try and paper over the moral complexity with this dumb cartoon of a wise little mouse wearing glasses and busily knitting a double helix for its beloved human friends)

Yeah, I know. That goes in the You Cannot Make This Shit Up file.
