This may be only tangentally related, but I will never forget in the 70s, when the sculpture titled "Government of the People" by Jaques Lipshitz (I am not making this up) was installed at the Municipal Services plaza near City Hall in the center of Philadelphia, then-Mayor Frank Rizzo said, "It looks like an Italian plasterer dropped a load of plaster."

LOLs!

Does the flag say "wicked" or "wacked"?

That's a seriously clumpy statue.

As to the original statue in this thread...

Please move it to my front lawn.

...the sculpture titled "Government of the People"..."It looks like an Italian plasterer dropped a load of plaster."

I should add, that when the installation of the statue was publicized, one of my friends commented, "That's the taxpayer on the bottom."
