Bostonians, what in tarnation is that thing? And why did they think it would honor MLK??

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

Not that I am aware of. Are you aware of that monstrosity rolled out in Boston?

I thought you were talking about shoes.
With as odd as that sculpture is, it could be depicting shoes.

That is nothing short of ghastly. I'm sure the good Dr. is spinning in his grave, and not just about the sculpture!
Looks to emit methane
A bust or full body statue would be in honor of someone. Modern art of the times, not so much. JMO
If you squint just so it does sort of have a Joy Behar appearance.
I didn't get what it was supposed to be before I saw this pic. Only cost ten million..
a quick glance it looks like some one showing off the huge dog log, their Shepard just left in the yard
and wow only 10 million how many of the so called poor minorities would that have housed and fed (or drugs and needles could have been passed out )
and just put a simple metal plack noting his life , ,oh wait its not about feeding or helping the poor , the government suppose to care for them
I will agree the photo helps explain the what the why not so much
Thanks for posting the pictures @redneckandy .
I thought it was a dog turd at first.
I still do.....
Maybe they should of spent another 10 million and included the heads...
Looks like 10 million dollars of squeeze
Same.

If a doctor were to show me and ink blot resembling that shape in his office, the first thing that comes to my mine is looting.
He is spinning in his gave with this depiction of the statue.

Your link doesn't work because some word in it was filtered out by the automated software. I would encourage you to find the link and use tinyurl.com to create a better, shorter one that won't contain the word.

It doesn't take much imagination to figure what the word is.
Must take more than what I have. Don
Same here.

The massive bronze piece, titled “The Embrace,” features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging after he won the Nobel Peace Price in 1964.
“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,” Seneca Scott, Coretta’s cousin, told The Post by phone Sunday, referring to the new artwork on the Boston Common.
“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a *!’ and everyone was like, ‘Yo, that’s a big old dong, man,’” said the 43-year-old Oakland, Calif. resident.
copied and pasted. from the article I am sure the word dong got it filtered in the head line
I wasn’t sure if was him hugging his wife or one of his many mistresses
Could even be that girl he watched get raped.

I don’t know how do do what you are describing. I will just state they were comparing the statute to a male appendage.
I am betting that young lady would have never hugged him
Now they are blaming it on white folks. Shesh.
This is what 'Butchdog2' is referring to - at least this is what I think it is:
Best Regards - AQH
Correct.
If it were in San Francisco, there'd be people using it for a restroom.
At some point the artist had to submit models /drawings / mockups of the proposed sculpture for approval by the entity that commissioned the project . Didnt anyone look at them and say what the heck? And how is a sculpture designed and built by a black artist a racist attack on mlk perpetrated by white folks?
Don't you know, Pulsarnc, that all bad things that occur in the world are the fault of the melanin challenged folks?
...Looks like MLK bending over kissing his butt goodbye...I think the artist captured the moment...
The approval committee was afraid to say anything, else be labeled as racist.
OK this is starting to get in a bad place... please stop with anything racial...
Giving it the benefit of doubt depending on the angle your looking at it is still terrible but rhe one show has to be the worst posibe view I hope any way
JMHO
NO matter the angle 10 million is still absolutely wrong
