Why statues to depict "activities common in the plaza"? Can't you just look around you and see actual people doing that? They should depict activities uncommon in the plaza, like a snowball fight, or reading a book.

Just be like me and blame everybody except for yourself. It's the fair thing to do.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
That statue will look cool and vintage 100 years from now, when smartphones are obsolete.

I was walking past this thing Saturday night and some teenage girl coldcocked her head on the statue's cell phone backing up to the statue to take a selfie. That's my suburban Houston statue story.

If this is true, the statute is ok and should be given a chance to do more damage.

I'm guessing the thought behind this was city marketing rather than say, art. "How can I make the kind of statue people take selfies with? Like in those real people cities that don't sound like strip clubs." I'd say its a success and so is this fake outrage.

In other news, I can just make a statue of something and donate it to a town square? If I had a single talented bone in my body, this would open interesting prospects for loving with people. How much do you think a commission would cost for a goatse? One on the scale of say, the Swords of Qādisīyah in Baghdad?

I can't think of Lesbian Bed Death without thinking of Dan Savage, since he was the first person I ever heard use the term. But to be fair, our bed death is a combination of both having emotional problems and my dysphoria so I think we're a really unusual case.
