THROBERT'S THEATRE of THINKOLOGIZING!



19 September 2002
 

The latest argle-bargle over controversial artwork in NYC has come to a swift conclusion, notes the NY Post in one of its typically subtle headlines. Unlike the legendary poop-splattered Virgin Mary, however, which was inexcusably mischaracterized by Mayor Rudy and other critics, this bronze depiction of a Trade Center jumper in midair-somersault was in genuinely low taste. (Though the Post was possibly being sensational in saying that the sculptor deliberately intended to capture the victim ''at the exact moment her head smacks pavement'' -- the figure needs to be mounted on its base somehow, after all.)

P.S. Wait, did I say the falling-woman sculpture was in low taste? My bad -- I hadn't seen this WTC-themed font yet. (Courtesy of asparagirl.)
