That looks like a giant turd with teeth.

That's what most locals think, too. It is a pagan religious statue. It is OK and doesn't offend atheists, but the Ten Commandments do. Our world is sick, sick, sick.

The 1994 sculpture of Quetzalcoatl (also known as The Plumed Serpent) is by Robert Graham and constructed of concrete polymer. It was commissioned by the city of San Jose to honor the culture of its Latino citizens, for $500,000. Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec deity who symbolizes fertility and order. The sculpture created controversy at the time of its installation, because some citizens found it objectionable in religious, economic and aesthetic terms."

It is getting hard to win against the forces of evil.
