It looks someone trying to stick their head up their own a**. What a disgrace.

Metal scavengers: have at it!

Apparently somebody did!........................

We should put one of these in every major city, this is great stuff, and just too much fun.

It will be great to learn what name the locals come to know this piece by, it sure won’t be the original name.

[Red Badger]

Nice work if you can get it!....................

The first, second and third drafts must have been circulated and looked at by various people. That’s the time to speak up and say ‘This looks like S**T!” Was everyone so worried about being called ‘racist’ for saying it was a bad idea that should have been nipped in it’s bulging bronze buds?

Having worked as an artist years ago, I’ve learned that some people honestly don’t know bad art when they see it or when it is suggested to them by someone they trust.
They just presume it’s an abstraction and they personally
don’t get it. That it must be a shortcoming on their part.

Looks like somebody is ‘gettin’ work done’.

[Scrambler Bob]

You have made the most sense out of this whole thing.

it looks like someone trying to shove his head up his own butt.

My first thought, as well. Reminds me of that old saying, "A giraffe is a racehorse designed by a committee."

There seems to be a plot against memorializing Martin King. In Washington DC the put up a big statue of him. It was made in CHINA! Even his face looks Chinese.

This unfinished monstrosity?

It looks like something out of Stalinist Russia.

Several comments by people view the “statue” stated that they were brought to tears!! Seeing a photo of the “statue”, I can understand why ....10 million reasons why.

We’re in good company!

No kidding, this is a mess no matter how you look at it.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings.
Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

This one was done by a Black American artist.

Yes, Hank Willis Thomas.

The same artist who has graced us with a 25 foot tall afro comb that seems to have sprouted up in several cities after the Summer of Mostly Peaceful Protests.

I was brought to tears of laughter when I read the reactions and memes on Twitter, many of which are unsuitable to post here.
