There's a movement in the modern South to change the names of public schools named after people like Gen. Nathaniel Bedford Forrest who helped start the KKK. And to remove from public parts statues of prominent Confederates and segregationists.

Is this now a bad thing? Statues are "art." So are the ok, even if they commemorate people we really probably should not continue to honor?

Make him bronze, ripped, and striking a noble pose ... suddenly, no problem. Even without the BVDs.

He looks drunk and hapless, not dangerous.

Artist is in a bit of a rut, no?

I'd swipe one of them, bring them together, and set them to dancing. That would pretty much take out the creepiness factor -- and they'd be a lot more fun to look at.

Spoon!!!! He does look kind of like Arthur, don't you think ? Slap a white leotard on him and some white Halloween fairy wings and you have a great, albeit anxious side kick.

It looks more like something you would buy to put in your front yard on Halloween than art.
