 One of the most recent statues installed is a guitar player sitting on the ledge of a fountain. The other statue is of two girls taking a selfie with City Hall in the background. "Both show activities common in the plaza," according to a press release. People on social media are criticizing the city for the selfie statue. "When you just wanna mess around with taxpayers' money.....," Marshall Parrott tweeted. http://www.click2houston.com/news/c...tm_content=link So would you have a selfie statue in your town? You could take a selfie with it and be meta.

If that phone is a separate casting and just screwed on then someone should take it out and replace it with a gun.

Public art is the cost society pays to keep artists from resorting to crime to fund their heroin addictions. I'm ok with it.

That's awesome, but it should be silver. That statue makes him look too much like C-3PO.

It's hosed up that loving Metropolis, Illinois gets to have a Superman statue but Detroit can't have a RoboCop statue. Like yeah, you're definitely the one true hometown of Superman, Place with a Population of 6,465. Get me a trampoline and I could leap Metropolis, Illinois's tallest building in a single bound. Don't need to be faster than a speeding bullet in Metropolis, Illinois, because it's a scrub-tier city with an embarrassing lack of gun crime. Shameful.

Why not a bronzed 1:1 scale Goatman statue? Maybe go trippy with proportions so he shows the butthole on both sides with no upper torso.
