New Rockefeller Center sculpture to honor African culture draws outrage: 'This needs to be removed'

[BIZPACREVIEW] They'd be flinging dog turds at this abomination in Nigeria or Botswana, someplace with a bit of taste. In Noo Yawk it's fine art.
The artist’s technique is admirable. It’s merely the artistic vision that lacks ...artistry.
The figure holding a fly-whisk certainly adds something very special, not certain exactly what however.

this Object d'Art.
Kinda looks like them though.

#6  Much smaller keychains of the image could be made available in shops at the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson terminal.

#5  What I predict you'll see is a line of pathetic self-haters waiting to wash its feet. Nobody will be able to reach high enough to clean the pigeon dressing off its head without a ladder.
