Obvious indeed… a giant, gaping sphincter to arouse the sodomites.
Disgusting.

Frankly, I'm offended that anybody should even think of commemorating the people who propagated that hideous disease among us.
You're exactly right...AIDS is 100% preventable, and is spread by deliberate high risk behavior. We should not celebrate or commemorate those who have chosen the disease that killed them.

Luke 17:28-32
King James Version
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.

We honor people who died or aids? That’s bizarre.

The sculptor must have known what he was doing. I guess the question is whether he was serious about that or if he’s having a big laugh about it.
To: yesthatjallen
This’ll make the homos super horny. A statue for something that is completely avoidable. How fitting

Just from reading the headline made me think of the movie V for Vendetta. Memorial sculpture for the children that died in their fake pandemic.

Well. They are putting up a monument to something, and it isn't a raisin bagel. It reminds me of that old joke:
A truck driver picks up two men hitchhiking, and when they get in the cab, it is apparent they are an effeminate couple, and not just friends.
The truck driver shrugs his shoulders, and drives on. One of the men farts, and it is a thin, weak, reedy sound, more like a puff. The other man of the pair looks at him, and simpers "Excuse yourself!" before letting out a weak, dribbling fart of his own, causing them both to smirk.
The truck driver says "What the hell is wrong with the two of you? Don't you even know how to fart?" At this, he lifts a cheek slightly from the seat and emits a loud, percussive, foghorn blast of intestinal gas that makes the cab of the truck shake!
The two passengers simper and giggle, and the truck driver says "What the hell is so funny?" and one of them answers, "Oh, you're a virgin!"
But, to give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the people bankrolling the monument just didn't see the obvious connection. Kind of like the church that put up this statue:
Or, maybe they DID see the connection.

Honestly...if this had been a monument to ANYTHING else, everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and thought
"Eh. Looks like a bagel. Or whatever. Another example of bad modern art on in a public space." However, designating it as an AIDS Memorial, well...one has to wonder why they chose that instead of ten million other potential art forms. Why choose, for an AIDS Memorial, a thing that looks like a hole, and a bumpy one at that?
But, it could be just bad art, I always keep in mind rules 22 through 26 from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen, a Communist who defected and wrote a book with these rules: :
- Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
- Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
- Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
- Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
- Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

This was my first thought reading the caption.
And, I agree, my first thought seeing it was that it looked like an AH....yuck, sick!
