Noble effort results in ugliest statue ever.

Maybe it's because they shut off the A/C at work today. Or maybe working here for 5 years has made me hate art. But, this is still the ugliest statue ever:

Come on, surely his estate could have chipped in for a pair of legs!  He looks like a double-amputee. Or perhaps he's supposed to be on his knees in uncharacteristic hippie-like repose; maybe they just sawed the head off of a Jimi Hendrix memorial statue.

Surely, everyone's favorite fascist-asshole-with-a-bowlcut deserves better. Joey got a whole street named after him, and Dee Dee still welcomes people to the Chelsea Hotel web page from beyond the grave!
