Here's a pic of the Statue.

Just because you are creative, doesn't mean your work can't suck. Especially if it completely loses context with what its supposed to represent.

I didn't get the dick comparisons until I saw it from this angle. Holy bronzed hogs, Batman.

Why did you make milk’s statue a giant turd/dick?

Ah but you’re talking about it!

The idea for the sculpture is actually really cool but only if its like a small table piece so you can see what it is. The way it is you only see the weirdness and dont see what it actually is (two pairs of arms entwined)

This might actually explain why it was made. It's likely anyone only saw the beginning, smaller model, which might actually look quite nice.

Should just make a life-like statue of King, those seldom go wrong and everybody likes it.

Better yet, if Dr King was ever in Boston for an event or what not, and they have pictures of him there, pose him in the most fitting manner from one of those hypothetical pictures.

So yeah if you pick the worst possible angle, taken with a wide angle lense, from what looks like an elevated position... It will look like trash.

I'm not saying it's good, but using a single photo to represent the sculpture is dishonest.

Look at some more natural pictures and judge for yourself.

Nah I was there looking at it two days ago; it still looks like a someone holding a dick from multiple angles.
